Livepeer Design System

Design system for Livepeer products.

Documentation

Visit https://livepeer-design-system.vercel.app/ to view the design system reference components.

Usage

pnpm add @livepeer/design-system

Prerequisites

• Node ≥ 20 — see .nvmrc (use nvm use or fnm use to activate)
• pnpm — managed via corepack. Run corepack enable once, then the correct pnpm version activates automatically from the packageManager field in package.json.

Local development

Running the docs site

pnpm install
pnpm dev        # docs site at http://localhost:3001

Testing changes in consumer apps

The design system is consumed by apps such as the Livepeer Explorer. Use yalc to test local changes against one or more consumers before publishing — it copies files into each consumer's node_modules rather than symlinking, which avoids the duplicate React instance / "Invalid hook call" errors you get from pnpm link.

# one-time install
npm i -g yalc

# first-time publish from design-system (populates ~/.yalc/packages)
pnpm run ds:build
yalc publish

# one-time, in each consumer app
yalc add @livepeer/design-system
pnpm install

# in design-system, after each change
pnpm run ds:build && yalc push

yalc publish puts the package in your local yalc store so consumers can yalc add it. yalc push rebuilds the store entry and propagates the new build to every consumer that has already added it. To unlink: run yalc remove @livepeer/design-system in each consumer and restore the original dependency version.

For a faster dev loop, run tsup in watch mode and push manually when you want to test:

# terminal 1: rebuild on save
tsup --watch

# terminal 2: sync to consumers
yalc push

[!TIP] Next.js sometimes ignores changes inside node_modules. If HMR doesn't fire after yalc push, touch a source file in the consumer app or restart its dev server.
