Clarity Design System

Build Status

Project Clarity is an open source design system that brings together UX guidelines, an HTML/CSS framework, and Angular 2 components. This repository includes everything you need to build, customize, test, and deploy Clarity. For complete documentation, visit the Clarity website.

Getting Started

Clarity is published as three npm packages:

  • clarity-icons. Contains the custom element icons.
  • clarity-ui. Contains the static styles for building HTML components.
  • clarity-angular. Contains the Angular 2 components. This package depends on clarity-ui for styles.

The easiest way to run a sample Angular 2 application with Clarity is to use the Clarity Seed.

If you already have an Angular 2 application, you can follow the installation steps below to include and use Clarity in your application.

Installing Clarity Icons

  1. Install Clarity Icons package through npm:

    npm install clarity-icons --save
    
  2. Install the polyfill for Custom Elements:

    npm install github:webcomponents/custom-elements.git#v1.0.0-alpha.3 --save
    
  3. (Optional) If your application supports IE10, the polyfill will require the MutationObserver shim to work. If your application doesn't support IE10, you can skip the following installation:

    npm install mutationobserver-shim@0.3.2 --save
    
  4. Include the clarity-icons.min.css and clarity-icons.min.js in your HTML. As custom-elements.min.js is dependent on the Custom Elements polyfill, make sure to include it before clarity-icons.min.js. Also, if your app needs to support IE10, include the mutationobserver.min.js before the polyfill:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.css">
    
    <script src="path/to/node_modules/mutationobserver-shim/dist/mutationobserver.min.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/node_modules/@webcomponents/custom-elements/custom-elements.min.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.js"></script>
    

    If your site is built with angular-cli you can achieve the above by adding the files to the styles array and scripts array in angular-cli.json:

    "styles": [
        ...
        "../node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.css",
        ...
    ],
    "scripts": [
        ...
        "../node_modules/mutationobserver-shim/dist/mutationobserver.min.js",
        "../node_modules/@webcomponents/custom-elements/custom-elements.min.js",
        "../node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.js"
        ...
    ]
    

Installing Clarity UI

  1. Install Clarity UI package through npm:

    npm install clarity-ui --save
    
  2. Include the clarity-ui.min.css in your HTML file:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/node_modules/clarity-ui/clarity-ui.min.css">
    

    If your site is built with angular-cli, you can achieve the above by adding the file to the styles array in angular-cli.json:

    "styles": [
        ...
        "../node_modules/clarity-ui/clarity-ui.min.css"
        ...
    ]
    
  3. Write your HTML with the Clarity CSS class names and markup.

Installing Clarity Angular

  1. Follow steps above to install Clarity Icons and Clarity UI.

  2. Install the clarity-angular package through npm:

    npm install clarity-angular --save
    
  3. Import the ClarityModule into your Angular 2 application's module. Your application's main module might look like this:

    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { ClarityModule } from 'clarity-angular';
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    
    @NgModule({
        imports: [
            BrowserModule,
            ClarityModule,
            ....
         ],
         declarations: [ AppComponent ],
         bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
    })
    export class AppModule {    }
