Create Package Workflow

Guide for creating or modifying packages in the gluestack-ui ecosystem. This includes working with gluestack-core (component creators) and gluestack-utils (utilities, hooks, styling helpers).

Package Types

gluestack-core

Contains component creators and core logic:

• Creator functions (factory pattern for components)
• ARIA hooks for accessibility
• Component-specific logic
• State management

Critical Export Requirements:

• All components need barrel exports in src/[component]/index.tsx
• Main index must export all components: src/index.tsx
• Deep imports enabled via scripts/generate-barrel-exports.js (auto-runs on build)
• TypesVersions in package.json for TypeScript deep import support
