I Built a React UI Component Library Template for Fast npm Publishing

Use my React Vite template to create reusable UI components, document them with Storybook, and publish them cleanly to npm.

If you want to build and publish reusable React UI components without wasting time on boilerplate, I created a template for that:

react-vite-npm-template

It gives you a ready-made setup for building a React component library with Vite, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Storybook, Vitest, and Playwright. The repo is marked as a public template, so you can use it as a starting point for your own component library and npm package.

The template already includes:

• Vite for library builds
• TypeScript for typings
• CSS Modules for scoped styling
• Storybook for component development and documentation
• Vitest and Playwright for testing
• npm-oriented packaging structure with docs for usage and deployment

I built it for developers who want to move quickly from idea → reusable component → published npm package.

A good template does more than save time. It also helps present your work professionally:

• cleaner project structure
• better documentation
• easier reuse across projects
• stronger open-source portfolio visibility

If you are building design systems, shared UI kits, or reusable React components for client work, this can help you get started faster and showcase your engineering approach publicly. The repo currently includes documentation files for usage, Storybook, and npm deployment, plus a sample Button component workflow.

If this sounds useful, check it out, star it, and feel free to use it as the base for your own library:

I’m building reusable tools, UI systems, and developer-focused projects in public. If that interests you, take a look at the repo and follow my work on GitHub.
