ButOpen Design System
A pure SCSS and Tailwind Design System. No JS. Framework-agnostic
Why another design system
There are many design systems out there. Unfortunately the only weay we found for a design system to be completely reusable is to publish it with styles only.
Using only styles, you can quickly integrate it into any framework.
Now you're thinking: "ok, but what if I want a date component with some logic?" Well, then we expose the few useful functions to speed up the implementation of that specific component into your frontend framework.
If you want to use it as CSS
Add the css file and customize the main color:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@butopen/design-system@1.0.0/dist/index.css">
<style>
:root {
--bo-theme-color: #0085d7; /* choose your color here*/
}
</style>
If you want to use it as SCSS
- import it into your style.scss
@import 'node_modules/@butopen/design-system/src/index';
:root {
--bo-theme-color: #ff4d00;
}
- extend your tailwind configuration to support the primary color classes such as
text-bop
,border-bop
and so on:
const tw = require('@butopen/design-system/tailwind.config');
module.exports = {
mode: 'jit',
important: true,
content: ['./src/styles.scss', './src/**/*.{html,ts,scss}'],
theme: {
extend: { ...tw.theme.extend }
},
variants: {
extend: {}
},
plugins: []
};
You can then customize every class by adding your custom rules.
Below you can find an example:
.bo-tab {
@apply text-sm uppercase;
}
a {
@extend .bo-link;
@apply text-bop; // <-- note the usage of the primary color here
}
.bo-section {
@apply rounded border border-bop p-8;// <-- note the usage of the primary color for the border here
}
.bo-button {
@extend .bo-animate-bg-on-hover // here we enable some cool animations for every button
}
.bo-input {
@apply bg-gray-50 hover:shadow-sm
}
.form-error {
@apply text-red-500 text-sm;
&:before {
content: "*";
@apply mr-1
}
}
For developers wanting to customize the sources
1) Install the required packages
pnpm i
Yes, we use pnpm. if you're still using NPM, then you don't care about time how much as we do ;-)
If you want to save hours, do yourself a favour and install it https://pnpm.io/
2) Build from sources
To build the final CSS file, simply run
pnpm build
And if you want to extend it or try it live, run
pnpm start
3) Check the result
And open the index.html
file into your browser.
