Abstract:
This master's thesis offers a thorough examination of React JS component
libraries, with a specific focus on constructing and releasing a User Interface
component library. The research starts by introducing React JS, emphasizing its
strengths and weaknesses concerning other JavaScript frameworks. Through a
comparative analysis, the paper assesses the existing state of component libraries in
React and their influence on UI/UX design. The methodology section covers the
technical aspects of building a component library in ReactJS, including configuring
Babel and using object proxy and module name mapper. In the results and discussion
chapter, the thesis applies the methodology by implementing a UI component in a
TypeScript project. The conclusion summarizes the findings of the study, discusses
its limitations, and provides recommendations for future work. This thesis aims to
provide a comprehensive guide to building and publishing a component library using
ReactJS, which could benefit developers who are looking to use this technology. By
examining existing libraries and implementing a custom library, this paper presents
valuable insights and practical recommendations for developers who aim to design
and implement their component libraries in React.
