@carbon/utilities

Utilities and helpers to drive consistency across software products using the Carbon Design System

Getting started

To install @carbon/utilities in your project, you will need to run the following command using npm:

npm install @carbon/utilities

If you prefer Yarn, use the following command instead:

yarn add @carbon/utilities

Maintainer information

This package uses a convention-based multi-entry build. The supported public API consists of two parts.

1. The root entrypoint

import { utility } from '@carbon/utilities';

1. Any top-level module with a src/<name>/index.ts file

import { utility } from '@carbon/utilities/utility';

Review the architecture decision record (ADR) for more detail on how and why this approach is used.

Internal modules

Some directories under src/ are marked as internal and are NOT exported from the package root or as public entrypoints. These modules are intended for use only by other Carbon packages (e.g., @carbon/react, @carbon/web-components) and should not be used by external consumers.

Internal modules:

• src/date-picker/ - Shared date picker primitives for React and Web Components

To use internal modules within Carbon packages:

import { utility } from '@carbon/utilities/src/internal-module';

Note: Internal modules are not part of the public API and may change without notice. External consumers should not depend on these modules.

Adding a utility

1. Create a new top-level directory under src/
2. Export the public API for that utility from src/<name>/index.ts
3. Re-export it from src/index.ts if it should also be available from the package root
4. Build the package and verify the generated outputs under es/<name>/index.* and lib/<name>/index.js

src/
  someUtility/
    index.ts
    someUtility.ts
