@visibly/vui v1.1.13

Visibly UI Library

VUI is a frontend component library used for building pages and components in Visibly apps. The components are built using TypeScript, React, and Vanilla Extract. It's compiled into tree-shakable ESM, with TypeScript definitions and source maps in the distribution.

Installation

Access Token

VUI is a private repo in npm and requires an access token to access. In any repo that uses VUI, you need to create an .npmrc file

@visibly:registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

In your .env file, make a NPM_TOKEN key and give it your npm token generated from npm.

NPM_TOKEN=ABC123

Now when you install the package, it will use your token to authenticate that you have access.

Install

npm:

npm install @visibly/vui

Usage

Here's an example of the basic usage of a VUI button component

import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@visibly/vui';

const App = () => (
  <Button 
    variant="primary"
    onClick={() => window.alert("Primary button clicked")}
    >
    Primary
  </Button>
)

export default App
