Phoenix components

Our aim is to build a simple React components library using styled-components and TypeScript.

3rd party libraries

Phoenix Components takes advantage of some 3rd party libraries to create consistently styled components

• @tippyjs/react - dropdown and positioning engine for the Dropdown component
• countries-and-timezones - list of timezones for the TimezonePicker component
• is-mobile - detecting mobile device for the Select component
• nanoid - unique string ID generator for Checkbox and Radio components
• noUiSlider - complete solution for the Slider (and Range) component
• react-day-picker - date picker for DatePicker and DateRangePicker components
• react-dropzone - drag'n'drop support for the FileUpload component
• react-inlinesvg - Inline loading of SVG files (to support hover effects) across all components using icons
• react-pdf - PDF files preview for the FileUpload component
• react-select - complete solution for the Select component
• react-tabs - complete solution for the Tabs component and its subcomponents (TabList, Tab and TabPanel)

Demo & Documentation

Phoenix Components Storybook

Install

npm i @purple/phoenix-components

Usage

1. Phoenix components use by default Roboto font with weights 400 and 500. If you want to use this default font, please add it to your project, using for example Google Fonts. (If you want to use different font family and/or different font weights, please refer to the section Customization.)

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

1. Import Theme from Phoenix Components and wrap the app in <ThemeProvider> from styled-components providing the Theme object. If your repository already contains custom styled-components theme, merge both themes together. If you're going to use overrides inside $pc key (see the Customization section), you need to use deep merge (e.g. merge from lodash).

   Also, import <GlobalStyles> component which provides styles such as default font and sizes, and include it once in your project.

import merge from 'lodash/merge'
import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components'
import { GlobalStyles, Theme as PhoenixTheme } from '@purple/phoenix-components'
import { Theme } from './CustomAppTheme'
...

function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={merge(PhoenixTheme, Theme)}>
      <GlobalStyles />
      { ... your app ... }
    </ThemeProvider>
  )
}

You can optionally include dir key in the theme with values either 'ltr' or 'rtl'. This is not required but it will slightly optimize CSS generated to support right-to-left layouts, resulting in smaller footprint.

...
<ThemeProvider theme={merge({ dir: 'rtl' }, Theme)}>
...

1. Import components that you need and use them according to the docs.

import { TextInput } from '@purple/phoenix-components'

Customization

You can either extended the components with styled-components. For example:

import styled from 'styled-components'
import { TextInput } from '@purple/phoenix-components'

const StyledInput = styled(TextInput)`
	// css overrides here
`

Or you can override the default properties inside the $pc object. In your own theme file, define the overrides as shown below, deep merge your theme file with the Phoenix theme file, and provide it to ThemeProvider.

export const Theme = {
	...

	// overriding phoenix components defaults
	$pc: {
		fontFamily: 'Mulish, sans-serif',
		fontWeight: {
			regular: 400,
			bold: 600
		}
	}
}

For more information about what's possible to customize please refer directly to the file src/theme.tsx.
