React Component Generator

Create components that follow this project's conventions and patterns.

Component Structure

Each component needs three files:

Copysrc/components/
├── ComponentName.tsx         # Component implementation
├── ComponentName.module.css  # Scoped styles
└── __tests__/
    └── ComponentName.test.tsx  # Tests

Component Template

TypeScript Component (ComponentName.tsx)

Copyimport React from 'react'
import * as styles from './ComponentName.module.css'

interface ComponentNameProps {
  // Define props here
  title: string
  onClick?: () => void
  children?: React.ReactNode
}

const ComponentName = ({ title, onClick, children }: ComponentNameProps) => {
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      <h2 className={styles.title}>{title}</h2>
      {children}
      {onClick && (
        <button onClick={onClick} className={styles.button}>
          Click me
        </button>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

export default ComponentName

CSS Module (ComponentName.module.css)

Copy.container {
  /* Component wrapper styles */
}

.title {
  /* Title styles */
}

.button {
  /* Button styles */
}

Test File (__tests__/ComponentName.test.tsx)

Copyimport React from 'react'
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react'
import ComponentName from '../ComponentName'

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  it('renders title correctly', () => {
    render(<ComponentName title="Test Title" />)
    expect(screen.getByText('Test Title')).toBeInTheDocument()
  })

  it('renders children when provided', () => {
    render(
      <ComponentName title="Title">
        <span>Child content</span>
      </ComponentName>
    )
    expect(screen.getByText('Child content')).toBeInTheDocument()
  })

  it('calls onClick when button is clicked', () => {
    const handleClick = jest.fn()
    render(<ComponentName title="Title" onClick={handleClick} />)
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'))
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)
  })
})

Conventions

TypeScript

• Define props interface above component (or in src/types/index.ts if shared)
• Use functional components with arrow functions
• Prefix unused variables with _
• No semicolons (Prettier config)
• Single quotes for imports

Styling

• Always use CSS Modules (*.module.css)
• Import as: import * as styles from './Component.module.css'
• Use camelCase for class names in CSS
• No inline styles unless dynamically computed

Props Interface

• Export interface to src/types/index.ts if used by multiple components
• Use React.ReactNode for children
• Make optional props explicit with ?

File Naming

• PascalCase for component files: GalleryImage.tsx
• Match component name exactly
• CSS module matches component: GalleryImage.module.css

Checklist Before Completion

1. Component file created with proper TypeScript types
2. CSS Module created (even if minimal)
3. Test file created with basic coverage
4. Props interface exported if needed elsewhere
5. Run make test to verify tests pass
6. Run make lint to verify no linting errors
