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 fisrt-package as a normal package installed from npm like so:

import FirstPackage from 'fisrt-package'
...

You can also import the type definitions if you're using TypeScript like so:

import FirstPackage, { ICounterProps } from 'fisrt-package'
...

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 FirstPackage from 'fisrt-package'

...
<FirstPackage className="dummy" />
...

// your-component.css
.dummy {
  color: white;
  background-color: purple;
}

This component was built for an article on how to publish a React component as a package to npm.
