@carbon/web-componentsWeb components for the Carbon Design System
To install @carbon/web-components in your project, you will need to run the
following command using npm:
npm install --save @carbon/web-components
If you prefer Yarn, use the following command instead:
yarn add @carbon/web-components
The first thing you need is setting up a module bundler to resolve
ECMAScript imports. The above example uses Webpack,
but you can use other bundlers like Rollup too.
Once you set up a module bundler, you can start importing component modules:
import '@carbon/web-components/es/components/dropdown/dropdown.js';
import '@carbon/web-components/es/components/dropdown/dropdown-item.js';
Once you've imported the component modules, you can use the components in the same manner as native HTML tags:
<cds-dropdown trigger-content="Select an item">
<cds-dropdown-item value="all">Option 1</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="cloudFoundry">Option 2</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="staging">Option 3</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="dea">Option 4</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="router">Option 5</cds-dropdown-item>
</cds-dropdown>
See a working example here.
The CDN artifacts define the custom elements for the browser, so they can be directly used once the script tag has been added to the page. For example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script
type="module"
src="https://1.www.s81c.com/common/carbon/web-components/tag/v2/latest/dropdown.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
// Suppresses the custom element until it has been defined
cds-dropdown:not(:defined),
cds-dropdown-item:not(:defined) {
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<cds-dropdown trigger-content="Select an item">
<cds-dropdown-item value="all">Option 1</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="cloudFoundry">Option 2</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="staging">Option 3</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="dea">Option 4</cds-dropdown-item>
<cds-dropdown-item value="router">Option 5</cds-dropdown-item>
</cds-dropdown>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Each component is available by referencing a specific version (starting at
version v1.16.0):
