@ukic/react

The UK Intelligence Community React UI Kit

The Intelligence Community Design System helps the United Kingdom's Intelligence Community (MI6, GCHQ, MI5, and partners) to quickly build powerful capabilities that are accessible and easy to use.

This is a joint project led by MI6, working with GCHQ and MI5.

Installing

To install the components:

Step one

In the root of your project:

// using npm
npm install @ukic/react @ukic/fonts

// using yarn
rm package-lock.json
yarn add @ukic/react @ukic/fonts

Step two

Import the component(s) in your React files.

import { IcComponent } from "@ukic/react";

Step three

To get the correct styling with the ICDS components, import the core CSS file.

Add the following into the top level CSS file for your project.

@import "@ukic/fonts/dist/fonts.css";
@import "@ukic/react/dist/core/core.css";

In order to be rendered consistently across browsers and in line with modern standards, each of the ICDS components uses styles from a global CSS file based on Normalize.css.

If you would like to import these styles to apply them to the rest of your project and slotted elements used within any of the ICDS components, add the following into the top level CSS file as well.

@import "@ukic/react/dist/core/normalize.css";

Step four

The @ukic/react package will need to be transformed before you can use these components in Jest tests.

Add a transformIgnorePatterns field with the value ["/node_modules/(?!@ukic/react)"] to your Jest config.
