The React engine for Pattern Lab / Node
This is the very preliminary React engine for Patternlab/Node.
Status
You can author standalone React components that include only the main React module, which I know isn't much yet. We're working on it.
The current release works with the 2.X series of Patternlab / Node. Support for the 3.X series is underway on the dev
branch.
Supported Pattern Lab
- Includes
- Data inheritance: This can be achieved by combining react
props
&defaultProps
- Hidden Patterns
- Pseudo-Patterns
- Pattern States
- Pattern Parameters: With react props
- Style Modifiers: With react props
- Lineage
- Incremental builds
Usage
*.js
and*.jsx
files are detected as patterns.- To include patterns, import components using the standard Pattern Lab naming convention, as in: ```javascript import HelloWorld from 'atoms-hello-world';
* Standard pattern JSON is passed into React components as props.
## Notes
* Components are rendered statically to markup at build time using ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(), but also transpiled and inlined as scripts in the pattern code to execute at runtime.
* We currently assume the React include (and others, once we figure that out) are written using es2015 module syntax.
* The Babel transforms are currently hard-coded into the engine, but we hope to make this configurable in the future.
