@nearst/ui

NearSt UI kit

A universal UI framework for NearSt dashboard applications.

Getting started

This UI framework is meant to be used in a React application. The easiest way to set up such an application is to use create-react-app. After creating a new project, add the @nearst/ui and the styled-components dependency:

npm i @nearst/ui styled-components

You can then start using the NearSt UI components in your app:

import { Root, Drawer } from '@nearst/ui'

const app = () => (
    <Root>
        <Drawer title='Test app'>
            <DrawerLink to='/' title='Dashboard' />
        </Drawer>
    </Root>
)

Development

All files in src/lib/ will be part of the NPM package.

The file src/index.js is used as a living example of the components. You can view it by running:

npm start

Guidelines

Some general things to consider when creating new components:

• Components should not have style props. When you need custom styles, you should either take care of this by generalizing those styles and adding them as prop options (i.e. a Button with a color prop), or simply wrap them into a <div> in your client application where you can style children of that div by class name.
• Every component should have propTypes, and where applicable sensible defaultProps values.
• Try to be consistent with prop name usage. I.e. we use title as the name of the prop for a header-type value, so don't suddenly start using a name prop for that same purpose.
