Scaffold a V9 Component
Create a new v9 component named $ARGUMENTS using the repo's Nx generators.
Steps
Adding a component to an existing package
Use the react-component generator:
yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-component --name $ARGUMENTS --project <project-name>
Where <project-name> is the Nx project (e.g., react-button). This generates all required files: component, types, hook, styles, render, index barrel, and conformance test.
Creating a new package + component
Use the react-library generator first, then add the component:
yarn create-package
yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-library --name <package-name> --owner "<team>"
yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-component --name $ARGUMENTS --project <package-name>
After scaffolding
-
Review generated files against docs/architecture/component-patterns.md and fill in component-specific logic.
-
Add styles in use${ARGUMENTS}Styles.styles.ts using design tokens:
import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';
import { tokens } from '@fluentui/react-theme';
-
Create a default story at the appropriate stories package location if not generated.
-
Update API docs after adding exports:
yarn nx run <project>:generate-api
Critical Rules
- Always use
ForwardRefComponent with React.forwardRef — never React.FC
- Always use design tokens from
@fluentui/react-theme — never hardcoded colors/spacing/typography
- Always preserve user
className as the LAST argument in mergeClasses()
- Use
_unstable suffix on exported hooks: use$ARGUMENTS_unstable, use${ARGUMENTS}Styles_unstable, render${ARGUMENTS}_unstable
- Guard any
window/document/navigator access with canUseDOM() from @fluentui/react-utilities
- Do not add dependencies on other Tier 3 component packages (see docs/architecture/layers.md)
