Vocabulary is a cohesive design system to unite the web facing Creative Commons. Vocabulary makes it easier to develop Creative Commons apps while ensuring a consistently familiar experience.
In essence Vocabulary is a collection of UI components, which are parts of web sites and web apps that have significance as being individual units that can be mixed, matched, styled and put together to quickly and effectively develop consistent applications.
Vocabulary is a collection of UI components, available both as
CSS stylesheets and minified JS distributed via unpkg, as well the more
versatile and flexible (and preferred) Vue components distributed via npm.
A lot of features available via npm packages might not be supported via UMD.
The showcase of the true extent of Vocabulary can be found in the live styleguide and the interactive storybook for the library, showcasing the components therein and variants thereof, on GitHub Pages. Search for a particular component using the search field or just explore the collection of components. If you find one that catches your fancy, play with it on the playground and tweak its knobs.
If it works for you, just pick the code and use it in your own application. If it doesn't and you think more people would love to have this feature open an issue. If something peculiar happens, open a bug report. If you just love it, contribute in some way.
Documentation powered by Netlify.
We're always looking for contributors to help us find and fix bugs, build new features, help us improve the project documentation or translate the project to another language.
