meow VS codesandbox-client

As you can see, cli.tsx also looks pretty similar to React's root file, but, it has something more to offer using meow library. meow is a popular library that helps you build nice CLI applications gives you access to create usage docs and handles args and flags.

You will notice that it is using meow to read the command and flags. Afterward, it passes the flags to the ui component and renders it. meow is a helper library to parse arguments. The text passed to meow() is the help text shown when you call create-micro-service --help.

Here the App component is being imported using a special importJSX command. Meow is a library that allows us to make interactive CLIs. Here look at the render statement. A React element is being created where the App Element is passed as the first argument (ie the JSX part of the element) and then cli.flags is an arrow of props that will be passed into the element. This is where the name prop is coming from!!!

Ok last but not least, Codesandbox. This is a newcomer to online collaborative workspaces which seems much more advanced. Codesandbox.io allows you to create node/npm projects, install packages, setup webpack or bundlers, include frameworks like React or Vue, and code in Typescript or JavaScript. It looks and acts like an IDE (VSCode) in the cloud, allowing shareable projects, not just code snippets.

Sync your projects effortlessly with GitHub. Codesandbox

Use online code editors such as Codesandbox or Stackblitz. They let you focus on writing code rather than dealing with local environment complexities.

For this article, I will be using an online code editor called Codesandbox. You can go ahead and use it as well, you can also create normal React js application on your computer.
