create-react-factory

create-react-factory create a factory for your react component. It allows you to:

• compose multiple high order components
• set a custom component to render using the component property

Installation

npm install create-react-factory

Usage

// Underline.js
import React from 'react'
import createReactFactory from 'create-react-factory'
export const Underline = ({component: Component = 'div', style = {}, ...props}) => (
  <Component style={{...style, textDecoration: 'underline'}} {...props} ></Component>
)
export default Underline
export const factory = createReactFactory(Underline)

// Strong.js
import React from 'react'
import createReactFactory from 'create-react-factory'
export const Strong = ({component: Component = 'div', style = {}, ...props}) => (
  <Component style={{...style, fontWeight: 'bold'}} {...props} ></Component>
)
export default Strong
export const factory = createReactFactory(Strong)

// Red.js
import React from 'react'
import createReactFactory from 'create-react-factory'
const Red = ({component: Component = 'div', style = {}, ...props}) => (
  <Component style={{...style, color: 'red'}} {...props} ></Component>
)
export default Red
export const factory = createReactFactory(Red)

// RedStrongUnderline.js
import {factory as strongFactory} from './Strong'
import {factory as redFactory} from './Red'
import Underline from './Underline'
export const RedStrongUnderline = strongFactory(redFactory(Underline))
export default RedStrongUnderline

import React from 'react'
import {render} from 'react-dom'
import Rsu from './RedStrongUnderline'
render(<ul><Rsu component="li">Hello World!</Rsu></ul>, document.getElementById('root'))
// output:
// <ul>
//   <li style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
//     Hello World!
//   </li>
// </ul>

Why?

Because with the “traditional” factory approach, the component property is overridden by the Component passed to the factory. Thus it become impossible to set a different component to render.
