Writing components

Where to create your components

• For components that declare the general structure and layout of a page:
  • /components/layouts/xxx
• For components that are tightly coupled to a specific interface:
  • /components/interfaces/xxx
• For components that are meant to be reusable across multiple pages:
  • /components/ui/xxx
• Note: We're gradually moving files out of the to-be-cleaned folder into the respective folders as we refactor

Component structure

• If a component has constants and utility methods that are tightly coupled to itself, keep them close to the component and enclose them in a folder with an index.tsx as an entry point
• Otherwise it can just be a file on its own
• For example:

  • components/ui
    - SampleComponentA
      - SampleComponentA.tsx
      - SampleComponentA.constants.ts
      - SampleComponentA.utils.ts
      - SampleComponentA.types.ts
      - index.ts
    - SampleComponentB.tsx
    

Template for building components

// Declare the prop types of your component
interface ComponentAProps {
  sampleProp: string
}

// Name your component accordingly
const ComponentA = ({ sampleProp }: ComponentAProps) => {
  return <div>ComponentA: {sampleProp}</div>
}

export default ComponentA
