​
Key Files

​
index.ts - Entry Point

Barrel export that makes imports clean: 
export { default as ThreadedCommentSection } from './components/threaded-comment-section';
export * from './components/threaded-comment-section';
Allows: 
import { ThreadedCommentSection } from './components/comments-threaded';
Instead of: 
import ThreadedCommentSection from './components/comments-threaded/components/threaded-comment-section';

​
threaded-comment-section.tsx - Main Component

The entry component that orchestrates everything. Edit this to:
  • Add custom headers or footers
  • Modify the layout
  • Change the overall structure

​
new-comment-form.tsx - Comment Input

The textarea and submit button for top-level comments. Edit this to:
  • Customize placeholder text
  • Change button styles
  • Add character counters
  • Modify form behavior

​
single-comment.tsx - Individual Comment

The core comment display component. Edit this to:
  • Change author name styling
  • Modify comment body layout
  • Add custom badges or labels
  • Adjust spacing and padding

​
vote-buttons.tsx - Voting UI

Upvote and downvote buttons with score display. Edit this to:
  • Change button colors
  • Modify vote count formatting
  • Add animations
  • Change icon styles

​
Common Customizations

​
Change Colors

Inline Styles Variant: Open any component file. Look for the color palette guide in the header: 
/**
 * COLOR PALETTE
 * - #3B82F6 → Primary blue (upvotes, links)
 * - #EF4444 → Red (downvotes, delete)
 * - #111827 → #F9FAFB (text)
 * - #FFFFFF → #1F2937 (backgrounds)
 */
Find and replace hex codes throughout the file. Tailwind Variant: Edit tailwind.config.js or change classes directly in files: 
// Change
<button className="bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700">

// To
<button className="bg-purple-600 hover:bg-purple-700">

​
Modify Layout

Open threaded-comment-section.tsx and rearrange JSX: 
return (
  <div>
    {/* Add custom header */}
    <h2>Discussion ({totalComments} comments)</h2>

    {isVisible && <NewCommentForm />}
    <CommentsFeed />

    {/* Add custom footer */}
    <p>Powered by Replyke</p>
  </div>
);

​
Remove Features

Don’t want vote buttons? Just comment them out or delete: 
// In single-comment.tsx
return (
  <div>
    <AuthorInfo />
    <CommentBody />
    {/* <VoteButtons /> */}  {/* Removed voting */}
    <ReplyButton />
  </div>
);

​
File Responsibilities

DirectoryPurpose
/components/All UI/JSX components
/hooks/React hooks for state and logic
/utils/Helper functions (memoization, etc.)
/context/React context providers
/modals/Modal dialogs (report, actions)

​
Import Patterns

Files use relative imports internally: 
// In threaded-comment-section.tsx
import CommentsFeed from './comments-feed/comments-feed';
import NewCommentForm from './new-comment-form';
import { useThreadedComments } from '../hooks/use-threaded-comments';
The CLI handles import transformations during installation, so everything works out of the box.
