Madgex Design System

A work-in progress Design System for building a UI for Madgex products.

Usage

Available on NPM as @madgex/design-system.

npm install @madgex/design-system --save

NOTE: Right now you'll need to be authenticated on npm under the Madgex account.

Importing styles

You'll need to use the Madgex DS CSS file in your project (which you will find in @madgex/design-system/dist/css/index.css)

The design system is using CSS Custom Properties to apply the brand styling of each site so you will need to import the custom properties file found in S3 for each client property id as well.

if you want to use the default styling set in the design system, you can use the _tokens.css file found in dist/_tokens/css.

Working with hapi.js, vision and Nunjucks

If you're wanting to use the Madgex DS components from a hapi.js+vision+Nunjucks setup you'll need to include the Madgex DS in the Nunjucks pathing:

  engines: {
    njk: {
      compile: (src, options) => {
        const template = Nunjucks.compile(src, options.environment);
        return (context) => {
          return template.render(context);
        };
      },
      prepare: (options, next) => {
        options.compileOptions.environment = Nunjucks.configure(
          [
            Path.join(options.path),
            'node_modules/@madgex/design-system/',
            'node_modules/@madgex/design-system/src/',
            'node_modules/@madgex/design-system/src/components/',
          ],
          { watch: false }
        );
        return next();
      },
    },
  },

Then you should be able to use components as such:

{% extends "template.njk" %}  {# a base template is available in the DS #}

{% from "button/_macro.njk" import Button %} {# load the DS button component #}

{% block content %}

  <p>My new project homepage</p>

  {# Use the Madgex DS button! #}
  {{
    Button({
      text: 'Click me please!'
    })
  }}

{% endblock %}

Note you'll need the CSS for the component styles.

Releases

With every commit to master the build server attempts to create a new version using semantic-release and deploys to npm as @madgex/design-system.
