Unlock the Power of Reusable Components with React Cosmos

Streamline Your Development Process

React Cosmos is a revolutionary tool that enables you to create isolated and scalable React components that can be reused across multiple projects. By leveraging the reusability benefits of React, you can create a robust architecture while preventing unnecessary rewriting of already defined UI.

The Benefits of Using React Cosmos

• Reusable Component Creation: Create isolated and reusable components that can be easily shared across different projects, ensuring solid and uniform branding.
• Easy Debugging: Identify and fix errors quickly by isolating components into individual units, making development faster and more efficient.
• Build and Publish Your Component Library: Make your React Cosmos components publicly available for coworkers or anyone on the internet, perfect for building or launching your own component library.
• Real-time External API Mocking: See the current state of your application in real-time, making development faster and more efficient.

Getting Started with React Cosmos

To install React Cosmos, simply use npm or Yarn to add it to your React project. Then, create a package.json script to enable you to start your Cosmos project.

npm install react-cosmos

Create a package.json script:

"scripts": {
  "cosmos": "react-cosmos"
}

Building Your First React Component

Create a fixture file, such as button.fixture.js, and update it with your component code:

import React from 'eact';

const Button = () => {
  return <button>Click me!</button>;
};

export default Button;

React Cosmos will track it easily, and you’ll see your first component listed under All Fixtures at localhost:5000.

Updating Your React Components

Update your component code, create a CSS stylesheet, and see the changes at localhost:5000. You can create multiple components, and they’ll show up in your pre-rendered dashboard for viewing.

Multi-Fixture Files

Export multiple components from a single fixture file by placing them in an object:

import React from 'eact';

const Button = () => {
  return <button>Click me!</button>;
};

const Label = () => {
  return <label>Enter your name:</label>;
};

export { Button, Label };

This allows you to export multiple components with one fixture file, making it more convenient.

With its ease of use, swift debugging, and numerous benefits, React Cosmos is an excellent way to create isolated components for your current or future React applications. Try it out today and experience faster and more efficient development!
