React One Click Component

Quickly generate React component files (component, style, index) directly from the VS Code explorer context menu. This extension is designed to streamline your workflow by creating a consistent and customizable file structure for your React components.

Features

• One-Click Generation: Create a full component structure by right-clicking on a folder.
• Customizable File Naming: Choose from PascalCase, camelCase, kebab-case, or snake_case for your generated files.
• Flexible File Extensions: Supports both .tsx and .jsx.
• Optional Files: Easily enable or disable the creation of index and style files.
• Multiple Style Options: Supports scss, css, less, and sass for style files.
• Editable Templates: Customize the content of generated files by editing the base templates directly within VS Code.

Usage

1. In the VS Code Explorer, right-click on the folder where you want to create the component.
2. Select "⚛️ Generate React Component" from the context menu.
3. The extension will automatically create linked component files based on the folder name and your configured settings.

For example, right-clicking on a folder named my-button with the default setting fileNameCase: 'camelCase' will generate:

• myButton.tsx
• myButton.module.scss
• index.ts

If you set fileNameCase: 'PascalCase', the result will be:

• MyButton.tsx
• MyButton.module.scss
• index.ts

These files already have the necessary code and imports to work together.

Configuration

You can customize the extension's behavior via the VS Code settings (settings.json).

Setting	Description	Options	Default
react-one-click-component.fileExtension	File extension for generated components.	tsx, jsx	tsx
react-one-click-component.fileNameCase	Casing for the component file names. The component name inside the file will always be PascalCase.	PascalCase, camelCase, kebab-case, snake_case	camelCase
react-one-click-component.createIndexFile	Create an index file for re-exporting the component.	true, false	true
react-one-click-component.createStyleFile	Create a style file for the component.	true, false	true
react-one-click-component.styleExtension	File extension for generated style modules.	scss, css, less, sass	scss

How to Edit Templates

You can easily edit the templates used for file generation. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and search for:

• React One Click Component: Edit Component Template
• React One Click Component: Edit Style Template
• React One Click Component: Edit Index Template

Alternatively, you can find clickable links in the extension's settings UI.

Note on using .jsx: The default component template includes TypeScript syntax (e.g., FC type). If you set the fileExtension to jsx, you should edit the component template to remove any TypeScript-specific code. Use the React One Click Component: Edit Component Template command to do this.

The following placeholders are available in the templates:

For component.template:

• ${componentName}: The name of the component in PascalCase (e.g., MyButton).
• ${styleImportBlock}: A block for the style import. Automatically adds import styles from './...' if createStyleFile is enabled, otherwise it's an empty string.
• ${classNameProp}: The className attribute for the root element. Automatically adds className={styles.yourClassName} if createStyleFile is enabled, otherwise it's an empty string.

For style.template:

• ${className}: The CSS class name, always in camelCase (e.g., myButton).

For index.template:

• ${componentName}: The name of the component in PascalCase (e.g., MyButton).
• ${fileName}: The base name for the files, formatted according to the fileNameCase setting (e.g., myButton or my-button).

Development and Local Installation

   git clone git@github.com:winkyBrain/react-one-click-component.git

   cd react-one-click-component

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Package the extension: This command will compile the source code and create a .vsix package file in the project root.

   npm run package

4. Install in VS Code:

   • Open Visual Studio Code.
   • Go to the Extensions view (or press Ctrl+Shift+X).
   • Click the ... (More Actions) menu in the top-right corner of the view.
