React + CSS-Modules + Loads of tests = Robust components for monstrous UIs!

Usage

There are three dependencies you’ll need to include in your app to use Nessie:

  1. The Nessie JS,
  2. the Nessie CSS
  3. and the Nessie SVG sprite map

Since your exact requirements may vary, we’ll leave it up to you decide exactly how these should be implemented (the options are outlined below).

JS

Importing all components as Nessie.ComponentName

If you want everything:

import * as Nessie from 'nessie';

Importing individual components:

If you want specific components:

import { ComponentName } from 'nessie';

CSS

The Nessie CSS is bundled separately in dist/styles.css. You can either import this file using webpack css-loader or load it directly in your HTML.

Sprite map

In order to use the <Icon> component (and other components that make use of icons), you’ll need the Nessie SVG sprite map component.

There are two ways that you can implement this:

Including the raw sprite map your HTML

You can add /dist/sprite.html directly in your HTML. The method of doing this is up to you.

Using the SpriteMap component

The <SpriteMap> component can be inserted anywhere inside your <App> (e.g. as a direct child of the Nessie <Page> component).

However the preferred method is to add a second React mount point specifically for the sprite map. The pattern is:

<html>
    <head>
        ...
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="root"></div>
        <div id="spriteMap"></div>
    </body>
</html>
ReactDOM.render( <App />, document.getElementById( 'root' ) );
ReactDOM.render( <SpriteMap />, document.getElementById( 'spriteMap' ) );
