Puppet Design System
The Puppet Design System represents the behaviors, components, principles and visual presentation we share. It is based on our objective to provide consistency, efficiency, and quality experiences to our customers. With it, we scale design across departments, products, platforms, and time zones.
Visit the documentation and living styleguide at https://puppetlabs.github.io/design-system.
Quick start
Prerequisites
Currently, a POSIX environment like macOS or Linux is required for development. (For Windows, you can use Windows Subsystem for Linux.) You must install the version of Node specified in .nvmrc
. We recommend using nvm (Node Version Manager), which allows you to nvm install
the specified version and nvm use
the specified version in the current shell (or nvm alias default
to use the specified version in all new shells).
Local sandbox
The primary development environment uses Styleguidist (which is what is also hosted at https://puppet.style). You can run it locally to view the docs and play around with components using live editable code:
git clone git@github.com:puppetlabs/design-system.git && cd design-system
npm install
npm start
With an existing app
To add the main package, @puppet/react-components
, to an existing project:
npm install @puppet/react-components
New app from scratch
To try out the design system from scratch, generate a new project with uikit:
npm install -g @puppet/uikit
uikit generate project my-project
Add components
import { Button } from '@puppet/react-components';
<Button>Hello world!</Button>
Use common styles
To use public Sass variables, add @puppet/sass-variables
to your project:
npm install @puppet/sass-variables
Reference the public variables from your Sass files:
@import '~@puppet/sass-variables/index';
.my-text {
color: $puppet-amber;
}
Note: See the Getting Started guide for a longer walkthrough with examples of using the uikit, React components, Sass variables, and other packages.
