GDS React Components

The Compassion Design System includes a streamlined set of React components for fast, accessible development of apps and static sites.

Installing and usage

To install the GDS React package use

npm install @compassion-global-experience/react

Or yarn add @compassion-global-experience/react if you're using yarn

Import the following css files from the entry point of your application

index.js

// Replace {theme} with any of the available themes (e.g. light, dark)
import '@compassion-global-experience/react/css/base.css';
import '@compassion-global-experience/react/css/{theme}.css';

GDS React components would follow the imported theme.

Sample component usage:

import React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@compassion-global-experience/react';

export const PrimaryButton = (props) => (
  <Button primary size="small" {...props} />
);

Themes

Available options:

• light: @compassion-global-experience/react/css/light.css
• dark: @compassion-global-experience/react/css/dark.css

Contributing to the react Package

The react package is structured with a component-per-directory convention inside the src directory. Each component directory generally contains 3 items:

• A TSX file that describes the component’s structure and behavior
• A .stories.ts file that illustrates most of the ways the component can be configured
• An index.ts file that exports the TSX component’s contents
