ReactUSWDS Component Library
This is a frontend component library, built in React with Typescript, based on design patterns defined by the United States Web Design System (USWDS) 3.0. Our primary goal is to document and provide common UI components following the USWDS specification. This library removes a significant amount of overhead UI development for projects based on this standard.
A deployed instance of the ReactUSWDS Storybook is located at: https://trussworks.github.io/react-uswds/

Install this package with npm or yarn:
yarn add @trussworks/react-uswds
or
npm i @trussworks/react-uswds
This library relies on some peer dependencies. Please verify these peer dependencies were added to your project (if they did not already exist) after adding this library.
It is strongly suggested applications use the same version of USWDS that was used to build the version of ReactUSWDS they're using (see this repo's uswds devDependency in package.json).
A version mismatch may result in unexpected markup & CSS combinations.
For flexibility, ReactUSWDS will not trigger warnings if consumers choose to use a higher minor version of uswds (hence the careted uswds peerDependency in package.json).
If encountering unexpected markup issues when choosing not to use the matching devDependency version of uswds, consumers should check whether aligning the versions resolves their issue(s).
You can import ReactUSWDS components using ES6 syntax:
import { Alert } from '@trussworks/react-uswds'
Warning: Do not include USWDS JS in your project alongside this library (i.e., using
import 'uswds'), as that will result in some components that use JS (such as the ComboBox) to initialize twice.
Also make sure to include the following in order to import the compiled CSS from this project:
@import '~@trussworks/react-uswds/lib/index.css';
If you aren't already using USWDS as a dependency, you also need to import USWDS styles. Read more info about using USWDS styles and assets here

We develop on this library with the version of node defined in .node-version. We run the test suite against the major released versions of node that are still in active LTS and not development releases. Specific versions are defined in the workflow: .github/workflows/build-and-test.yml. Those are the versions we exxpect to support, if you are using a pre-release or development version of node you may run into unexpected issues.

We decided to focus on our storybook over hosting an example/boilerplate implementation, but you can find a few such things from our friends:
You can also check out some open source projects using React-USWDS across federal and state governments:
The primary deliverable is a published npm package that can be included as a dependency in other projects that use USWDS with React. In order for these components to be useful, they should follow best practices for accessible, semantic, markup; be well-tested across browsers and devices; and allow for an appropriate level of customization. We adhere to a set of development guidelines as much as possible and use automation to enforce tests, linting, and other standards.
This is not meant to be a one-size-fits-all front end solution, We are starting off with the opinionated decision to cater towards projects that use the U.S. Design System 2.0, and encapsulate these specific styles and markup in React components.
In the process, we expect to gain learnings around how to best abstract out UI code from implementation; how to better standardize and document front end code practices; and how to develop, maintain, and distribute a shared JS library in alignment with our company values at Truss.
We are starting to rotate Trussel maintainer responsibilities. Check out the maintainers README.
