Overview
React-gears is a React implementation of the Appfolio UI components, providing a streamlined way to integrate UI elements into your application. Built with React, Bootstrap 4, and reactstrap, it serves as a robust framework tailored for developers who enjoy the efficiency of pre-designed components. However, it's important to note that react-gears is currently in maintenance mode and isn't receiving active updates.
Despite its maintenance status, react-gears still offers a solid foundation for building UI components efficiently. The included testing utilities and development practices make it an easy addition to your project, especially if you are already accustomed to the Appfolio UI style.

- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
