React Library Boilerplate
A comprehensive boilerplate for building and deploying a React JS library, designed for external use and optimized with Vite’s library mode.
Purpose
This project serves as a template for creating a reusable React JS library file, independent of the main React project, with a focus on simplicity and efficiency.
Key Features
- App.jsx: A React component rendering
<h1>Welcome to MyReactApp</h1>
for demonstration. - Development Setup: Uses
index.html
andmain.jsx
for local testing during development. - Production Build: Bundles only
App.jsx
with Vite, excluding test files for a clean library output. - Deployment: Build file can be hosted on a CDN and referenced in external HTML.

Local Testing vs. Build
- Local testing leverages
main.jsx
andindex.html
for a full dev environment. - Production excludes these files to avoid hard-coded data, ensuring a lightweight, reusable library.
Tech Stack
- React JS: Core library for building the component.
- Vite: Fast build tool using library mode for efficient bundling.
- Node.js: Powers the development server and build process.
Deployment
The build file is optimized for hosting on a CDN. Include it in an HTML file with:
<script src="https://cdn.example.com/react-vite-library.js"></script>
