Getting started

Prerequisites

To contribute to the library development, you will need to install nodejs and yarn. We recommend using nvm to properly handle the supported nodejs version (see .nvmrc).

Learn more about the io-app prerequisites →

Installing the component library

To add the component library to the main app run:

yarn add @pagopa/io-app-design-system

Remember to encapsulate the app container with the SafeAreaProvider from react-native-safe-area-context in your App.tsx file. Also, remember to apply this wrapper in other relevant places such as the root components of modals and routes when utilizing react-native-screens:

import { SafeAreaProvider } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

function App() {
  return <SafeAreaProvider>...</SafeAreaProvider>;
}

Launch the example app

For development purposes, a sample React Native application is included in the repository. To launch it:

# Move into `example` folder
cd example

# Install dependencies 
yarn install

# Install podfiles when targeting iOS (ignore this step for Android)
# Run this only during the first setup and when Pods dependencies change
cd iOS && bundle exec pod install

# Launch the app locally (simulator flag is optional)
yarn ios --simulator='iPhone 15 Pro'

Playground

Consider the example app your playground when developing and testing current or new components. If you need to build new components, ensure that you test them in the same environment as our users, without making any technical trade-offs (like testing them in a browser)

[!important] The sample application consists of several pages with some components for testing purposes. To view the continuously updated Design System section, please refer to the main app.

Usage

To try a component, just import it:

import { IOButton } from '@pagopa/io-app-design-system';

// [...]

const MainScreen = () => (
  <View>
    <IOButton
      variant="solid"
      accessibilityLabel="Tap to trigger test alert"
      label="Hello world"
      onPress={() => Alert.alert("Alert", "Action triggered")}
    />
  </View>
);

Architecture

The library is made up of several parts:

Core

Essential core visual attributes of the design language. It includes:

• IOColors: Defines the main color palette, themes (light/dark) and other color-related utilities
• IOSpacing: Defines the main spacing scale and various component spacing attributes
• IOStyles: Defines common styles shared across components
• IOShapes: Defines visual shape-related attributes, such as radius
• IOAnimations: Defines common animation attributes used for interactive elements (used by the reanimated library)
• IOTransitions: Defines reusable custom enter/exit transitions (used by the reanimated library)
