Strap

Simple React Component Boilerplate Generater

A command-line utility for bootstraping react component template.

Quickstart

Install via Cargo:

cargo install strap

cd to project's directory, and run strap Button to generate the boilerplate code.

Your project will now have a new directory at src/components/Button. This directory has two files:

// `Button/index.js`

export { default } from "./Button";

// `Button/Button.js`

import React from "react";

export default function Button() {
  return <></>;
}

Customizing Templates

Custom Templates with a template type-name can be provide. The name of the file or directory should be functional or class for functional or class component respectively.

Custom Templates can be provided in two ways:

Files

Templates can be customized by providing custom templates. You will need to add the following two files with _component placeholder that will be replaced by the component name.

// functional.js

import React from "react";

function _component() {
  return <></>;
}

export default _component;

// class.js

import React from "react";

class _component {
  render() {
    return <></>;
  }
}

export default _component;

Strap will look for the custom templates in src/components/.templates directory. Template path can be customized by templateDirectory in strap-config.json.

Directory

If there are multiple files, a directory with the component type name can be used instead. To replace the filename with component name, use _component.js as the filename.

// index.js

export { default } from "_component.js";

// _component.js
import React from "react";

export default function _component() {
  return <></>;
}

Strap will create a dir with the same name as the component name and put every file in it. Every instance of _component will be replaced with component name in every file.

Config

strap-config.json can be used to change the defaults. To generate the config file use strap --init command.
