Reusable Components Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

CSS variables follow the standard cascade and inheritance rules, meaning they can be overridden by more specific selectors or modified within a particular scope.

:root {
    --primary-color: #3498db;
}

.header {
    --primary-color: #e74c3c; /* Overriding the global primary color */
}

h1 {
    color: var(--primary-color); /* Uses the header's primary color inside .header */
}

Congratulations! You’ve now created a basic component library using Storybook and React. This setup allows you to build, document, and share reusable UI components efficiently. By leveraging Storybook’s powerful features, you can ensure that your components are well-documented, tested in isolation, and ready to be used across different projects.

Consider adding more components to your library, integrating with a design system, or automating the testing and deployment process using CI/CD tools. The more you expand and refine your component library, the more valuable it will become to your development workflow.

Here’s an example of how to use the useFetch hook in a React component to fetch and display data.

import React from 'react';
import useFetch from './useFetch'; // Ensure correct import path

function UserList() {
    const { data, loading, error } = useFetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');

    if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;
    if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;

    return (
        <ul>
            {data.map(user => (
                <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
            ))}
        </ul>
    );
}

export default UserList;
