Submitting my React component as an npm package

[triyuga]

I'm both requesting and volunteering this talk. I've never contributed a package to npm myself but want to do so. If no one else wants to take and do this talk, I would be happy to do so and use it as impetus to learn about it.

I have done packed few components and I remember it was a pain. Especially managing dependencies. Good topic! I wouldn't mind if you can share your experience about this.

[deecewan]

Yeah, this is an interesting one, especially setting up the toolchain to compile during release, and it becomes even more painful if you're using CSS.

[kzima]

@triyuga are you available in April to present your thoughts about submitting react package to npm?

[kzima]

@triyuga Lets push this one to May 👍

[triyuga]

Ok! Sorry @kzima only saw your comment now! Could do this one in May, or the one i just submitted: React with GraphQL and Apollo!

Is this talk actually happening?. If not I’m happy to offer one on using bit and or npm for this.. it’s a pretty common case these days but strangely gets neglected far too often IMO

[loklaan]

@nk2580 HEY! 😄

It's been touched on several times in other talks that were broader in scope. eg. several takes/experiences on managing code for components and componentised applications

But yeah this in isolation seems like it'd be suitable for a lightning or a short talk, depending on how deep you want to go.

Some other points that I think audience members would like to hear are:

1. Different ways of bundling & consuming css for components
2. Packaging individual components vs collection of components
   • How to manage the code of individual components
     (Bit tooling & friends vs. homegrown monorepo + tools like yarn workspaces & lerna)
3. Versioning UI packages
   Should changing classNames / theming names enforce a semantic patch, minor or major change? Semantically it should be major, but does that fit the process of your team?.. probably not
4. Where we might be in a years time with our options...

We have an event coming up this month on the 24th, would you like to volunteer for that night? 😉

[nk2580]

@loklaan happy to cover all those points on a talk. Unfortunately I can’t do this month. Can do next month though. The 25th? The solutions for versioning and css consumption are big pain points I’ve had to address in the past

[loklaan]

@nk2580 Brilliant, thanks! Yeah let's queue it up for next month. I'll generate a different issue for you some point today. 👍

[loklaan]

@nk2580 Hey mate, I realised it didn't make much sense for me to make the issue for you (miss-attribution, as well as incomplete information) 😅!

Would you mind opening a new issue with the following:

• Title
• Short and long form description, which are used on Meetup and Twitter
• Length of talk (we're generous, but try ya best to stay within your estimate. :)
• Your Twitter handle, if you'd like me to tag you in posts

On an aside, I'm available for you whenever you'd like any presentational guidance! @loklaan on twitter for DM.

sorry for the slow reply @loklaan
#62 was just made
