General Nordcloud UI

This repo contains the Nordcloud Design System - a collection of reusable React components used in Nordcloud's SaaS products.

Components

1. Design System (/src/components)
2. Storybook (/src/stories)

Install

npm install @nordcloud/gnui

or

yarn add @nordcloud/gnui

Make sure you have a proper versions of required packages installed, they are specified in peerDependencies field inside package.json.

Version 7 or greater of npm should install them automatically, if not, run:

npm install react react-dom styled-components

Don't forget to install types if you are using TypeScript:

npm install -D @types/react @types/react-dom @types/styled-components

Usage

Apply global GNUI styles at the top level of your app:

import { SetGlobalStyle } from "@nordcloud/gnui";

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <SetGlobalStyle customScrollbars />
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Switch themes:

import {
  Button,
  SVGIcon,
  useThemeSwitcher,
  THEME_OPTIONS,
} from "@nordcloud/gnui";

function UserSettings() {
  const { currentTheme, setTheme } = useThemeSwitcher();

  return (
    <Button onClick={() => setTheme(nextTheme)}>
      <IconWrap>
        <SVGIcon name="dashboard" />
      </IconWrap>
      Switch to {THEME_OPTIONS[nextTheme].toLowerCase()} theme
    </Button>
  );
}

Storybook deployment

Storybook allows you to preview components. It deploys the code automatically with Amplify Console triggered by changes on branch master. Pipeline steps are found in amplify.yml.

When you create a PR against the master branch, Amplify creates a new deployment automatically - the environment will be attached to the PR at Github. Reviewers can preview changes using this deployment - after the PR gets merged or rejected, the environment is destroyed automatically by Amplify Console.
