slush-react-builder

A Slush generator for ES6 React components that creates a .jsx file and a .scss (or css, less, stylus etc) file at a specified path.

This generator assumes a modular development style using Webpack* with jsx and style files living along side each other in one directory.

Defaults templates are provided but can be overriden on a per project basis.

*Or any other build tool that allows style files to be required within JavaScript files.

Installation

Slush templates need to be installed globally, which usually means prefixing the line below with a sudo.

npm install -g slush-react-builder

Usage

WARNING: Conflict resolution is on the roadmap but not yet implemented. If new components are generated in the same location as existing ones, older files will overrwritten

First navigate to the root of your project.

Component names by convention

Naming can be done by convention, where a capitalized version of the last segment of the path will be used as the component and style file name.

$ slush react-builder:component src/client/components/mapView

Creates:

• src/client/components/mapView/MapView.jsx
• src/client/components/mapView/MapView.scss

Component names by configuration

If more control is required over naming, a file name may also be be specified.

$ slush react-builder:component src/client/components/mapView SpecialMapView

Creates:

• src/client/components/mapView/SpecialMapView.jsx
• src/client/components/mapView/SpecialMapView.scss

Templates

Default templates

The following templates are provided by default.

JSX (.jsx)

import React from 'react';
 
require('./MapView.scss');
 
export default class MapView extends React.Component; {
 
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }
 
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="MapView"></div>
    );
  }
 
}

Sass (.scss)

.MapView {
}

Overriding templates

If you'd prefer a different jsx or style template, add a slushconfig.js to your application root:

module.exports = {
  "templateDirectoryPath": "./mySlushTemplates",
  "styleFileExtension": "css"
}

Property	Description
templateDirectoryPath	The directory containing the templates.
styleFileExtension	The extension of the style file - e.g. scss/less/css etc.

For the example above the directory structure should be as follows:

-myProjectRoot
    - mySlushTemplates
        - component
            - Component.jsx
            - Style.css

Roadmap

• Full project generation (via my react-boilerplate or react-express-boilerplate and nodegit).
• Conflict resolution for file path clashes.
