dummy-counter
A simple React component that counts from 0 - 100 and then resets back to 0. This runs for infinity and yes, this is not meant to be functional in any way.
How to use
Clone this repo to your local computer, then run:
-
npm install && npm run build
-
To make this component available to other projects on your local computer, run
yarn link
. -
Then go to the project where you want to use this package and run
yarn link "dummy-counter"
.
Finally, to fix the multiple copies of React bug that shows up with linked React packages:
- navigate to the root of the
dummy-counter
package - run
npm link "../path/to/your/project"
You can now import dummy-counter
as a normal package installed from npm like so:
import Dummy from 'dummy-counter'
...
You can also import the type definitions if you're using TypeScript like so:
import Dummy, { ICounterProps } from 'dummy-counter'
...
Available props
className: string (optional)
To customise this component, pass in a class name to the className
prop and style that class name in your custom CSS.
// your-component.js
import Dummy from 'dummy-counter'
...
<Dummy className="dummy" />
...
// your-component.css
.dummy {
color: white;
background-color: purple;
}
