Initializing the Project

Creating a Vite Project

Use the command line directly:

1
2
3
pnpm create vite react-components
cd react-components
pnpm i

You can also use my CLI panel (shameless plug 😁🤓)

malred/cli-panel

No internet connection needed, as it uses file copying to create the project.

Installing Tailwind

Use Tailwind v3

Installation - Tailwind CSS

1
2
3
pnpm install -D tailwindcss@3 postcss autoprefixer
# npx tailwindcss init -p
pnpm dlx tailwindcss@3 init -p

Add the paths to all template files in the
**<font style="color:rgb(15, 23, 42);">tailwind.config.js</font>**
file.

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
content: [
"./index.html",
// 使用react时
"./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
// 使用vue时
"./src/**/*.{vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
// 使用svelte时
"./src/**/*.{svelte,js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}

Add the
**<font style="color:rgb(15, 23, 42);">@tailwind</font>** directives for each layer of Tailwind to your
**<font style="color:rgb(15, 23, 42);">./src/app.css</font>** file.

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

// src/components/button/index.tsx
/*
* @Author WangZhiGang

* @Description
*/
import './button.css'

import * as React from "react";

interface
Props
{
size: 'lg' | 'md' | 'sm'
children: string | React.ReactNode
}

const Button = ({
size, children
}: Props) => {
const className = size + " base "

return (
<button
className={className}
>
{children}
</button>
);
};

export default Button;

If you find the Tailwind styles too long, you can write a CSS file

button {
&.base {
@apply text-white bg-blue-500 rounded-md
}

&.sm {
@apply text-xs p-2
}

&.md {
@apply text-sm p-4
}

&.lg {
@apply text-lg p-8
}
}

Packaging and Publishing

1
2
pnpm build
pnpm publish

Usage

To test locally, you can use

1
2
3
4
# 在库的目录执行
npm link
# 在要使用的目录中执行
npm link [自己写的库的名称]

However, I previously tried this and it always failed. My solution was to directly copy the packaged files into the project and then import the dependencies from there.
