How to create and share React components with bit.dev React is one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for building user interfaces. One of the key benefits of React is its component-based architecture, which allows developers to create reusable UI components that can be shared across different projects

1. STREAMLINING REACT COMPONENT
DEVELOPMENT AND SHARING WITH BIT.DEV

2. EFFICIENT COMPONENT
DEVELOPMENT
Develop reusable React components faster and with less
code duplication. Improve development productivity by
leveraging bit.dev's component-driven development
approach.

3. COLLABORATION AND
SHARING
Simplify collaboration by sharing individual React
components across projects and teams using bit.dev's
component marketplace. Ensure consistency and
reusability throughout your organization

4. PREREQUISITES
To follow along, you will need:
• Node.js (version 10 or higher) and npm (version 5.2 or
higher) installed on your machine
• A bit.dev account (you can sign up for free here)
• A GitHub account (optional, but recommended for
collaboration)

5. The first step is to install Bit on your machine. Bit is a command -line tool that lets you
create, manage, and share components. You can install Bit using npm:
npm install -g @teambit/bvm
bvm install
This will install Bit's binary version manager ( bvm) and the latest version of Bit.
STEP 1: INSTALL BIT

6. STEP 2: CREATE A REACT COMPONENT
Next, we will create a new React component using Bit. To do this, we will use the bit create
command, which lets you generate a component from a template. Bit has built -in templates for
various types of components, including React.
To create a React component, run the following command:
bit create react ui/button
This will create a new component called ui/button in the current directory. The component will have
the following files:
• button.tsx: The source code of the button component
• button.composition.tsx: A file that renders the button component for preview
• button.spec.tsx: A file that contains tests for the button component
• button.docs.mdx: A file that documents the button component
You can open these files in your favorite code editor and modify them as you wish. For example, you
can change the color, size, or style of the button.

7. STEP 3: PREVIEW AND TEST THE COMPONENT
Once you have created the component, you can preview and test it using Bit. Bit has a built -in
development server that lets you see your component in action. You can also run tests and linting on
your component using Bit's dev environment.
To start the development server, run the following command:
bit start
This will open a browser window with a URL like http://localhost:3000/ui/button. Here you can see
your button component rendered on the screen. You can also see the documentation and test results
for your component.
You can make changes to your component files and see them reflected in the browser automatically.

8. STEP 4: PUBLISH THE COMPONENT
When you are happy with your component, you can publish it to bit.dev. Bit.dev is a cloud component
hub that lets you store and share your components online. You can also discover and install
components from other developers and organizations.
To publish your component to bit.dev, you need to do two things:
• Link your bit.dev account to your local workspace
• Export your component to a collection on bit.dev
A collection is a group of components that belong together. You can create collections for different
projects, teams, or themes. You can also set permissions and policies for your collections.
To link your bit.dev account to your local workspace, run the following command:
bit login
This will open a browser window where you can sign in to your bit.dev account. Once you are signed
in, Bit will link your account to your workspace.
To export your component to a collection on bit.dev, run the following command:
bit export <your-username>.<your-collection>
Replace <your-username> with your bit.dev username and <your-collection> with the name of the
collection you want to export to. If the collection does not exist, Bit will create it for you.

9. STEP 5: USE THE COMPONENT IN A REACT APP
Now that you have published your component to bit.dev, you can use it in any React app. To do this,
you need to install the component using npm or yarn. You can also use Bit to import the component
directly into your project.
To install the component using npm, run the following command:
npm install @bit/alice.ui.button
Replace alice with your bit.dev username and ui with your collection name.
To import the component using Bit, run the following command:
bit import alice.ui/button
Replace alice with your bit.dev username and ui with your collection name.
Once you have installed or imported the component, you can use it in your React app like any other
React component. For example, you can render it in your app like this:

10. import React from 'react';
import Button from '@bit/ alice.ui.button';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Button>Click me</Button>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

11. You can also customize the component by passing props to it. For example, you can change the color
of the button like this:
import React from 'react';
import Button from '@bit/ alice.ui.button';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Button color="red">Click me</Button>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

12. In this post, we have shown you how to create and share React components with bit.dev. Bit.dev is a
platform that simplifies the process of developing, publishing, and consuming components. With
bit.dev, you can:
• Create new React components using pre -built or custom templates
• Import existing React components from any repository or package manager
• Build, test, lint, and document your components in a unified dev environment
• Publish your components to a cloud component hub with version control and dependency
management
• Discover and install components from a rich collection of open -source and private components
• Compose components into apps and deploy them to any platform
