Esbie Component Library

Welcome to the Esbie Component Library! This project is a reusable, customisable component library built with React, TypeScript, and styled-components. It follows atomic design principles and includes components organised into atoms, molecules, organisms, and templates. The library is bundled using Rollup and tested with Jest and React Testing Library. A sandbox app is also included for developing and testing components.

Project Structure

This repository uses a monorepo structure with pnpm workspaces. The main folders include:

• src/: Contains the component library source code.
• sandbox/: A development environment to test and preview components.

Component Structure

The component library is organized following atomic design principles:

• Atoms: Basic, reusable elements like Button, Icon, and Text.
• Molecules: Combinations of atoms, such as FormField or Card.
• Organisms: Groups of molecules, like Form or Header.
• Templates: High-level layouts, such as BasicLayout or DashboardLayout.

Each component folder typically contains:

• ComponentName.tsx: The main component file.
• ComponentName.test.tsx: Jest test file.
• index.ts: Barrel file for easier imports.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure Node.js is installed (v14+ recommended).
• pnpm: Install pnpm globally if you haven't already: npm install -g pnpm

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/esbie-component-library.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd esbie-component-library

3. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Running the Sandbox App

To test components in a live environment, run the sandbox app: cd sandbox

pnpm run dev --filter sandbox

This will start the Vite dev server at http://localhost:2000 (or another port if configured). Open this address in your browser to preview the components in the sandbox environment.

Scripts

The following commands are available in the project:

• pnpm run build: Builds the component library using Rollup.
• pnpm run dev --filter sandbox: Starts the sandbox app for testing components in a live environment.
• pnpm run test: Runs tests for all components using Jest.

Testing Components

Components are tested with Jest and React Testing Library. Test files are located alongside each component and follow the .test.tsx naming convention.

To run tests:

pnpm run test

Notes

CSS Reset Recommendation: For consistent styling across browsers, I recommend applying a CSS reset or normalisation in your codebase. This component library does not include a global CSS reset, allowing you to choose the best approach for your project.
