# 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: ```bash 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: ```bash # Create the package (will prompt for owner team) yarn create-package # Or non-interactively: yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-library --name <package-name> --owner "<team>" # Then add the component inside it: yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-component --name $ARGUMENTS --project <package-name> ``` ### After scaffolding 1. **Review generated files** against [docs/architecture/component-patterns.md](../../../docs/architecture/component-patterns.md) and fill in component-specific logic. 2. **Add styles** in `use${ARGUMENTS}Styles.styles.ts` using design tokens: ```tsx import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react'; import { tokens } from '@fluentui/react-theme'; ``` 3. **Create a default story** at the appropriate stories package location if not generated. 4. **Update API docs** after adding exports: ```bash 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](../../../docs/architecture/layers.md)) ## Available Generators Reference | Generator | Command | Purpose | | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | `react-component` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-component` | Add component to existing package | | `react-library` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:react-library` | Create new v9 package | | `recipe-generator` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:recipe-generator` | Create a v9 recipe | | `prepare-initial-release` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:prepare-initial-release` | Prepare package for release (compat/preview/stable) | | `bundle-size-configuration` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:bundle-size-configuration` | Setup bundle-size tracking | | `cypress-component-configuration` | `yarn nx g @fluentui/workspace-plugin:cypress-component-configuration` | Setup Cypress component tests |
