@wordpress/components

Component Reference

This packages includes a library of generic WordPress components to be used for creating common UI elements shared between screens and features of the WordPress dashboard.

Installation

Install the module

npm install @wordpress/components --save

This package assumes that your code will run in an ES2015+ environment. If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for ES2015+ such as lower versions of IE then using core-js or @babel/polyfill will add support for these methods. Learn more about it in Babel docs.

Usage

Within Gutenberg, these components can be accessed by importing from the components root directory:

/**
 * WordPress dependencies
 */
import { Button } from '@wordpress/components';

export default function MyButton() {
	return <Button>Click Me!</Button>;
}

Many components include CSS to add style, you will need to add in order to appear correctly. Within WordPress, add the wp-components stylesheet as a dependency of your plugin's stylesheet. See wp_enqueue_style documentation for how to specify dependencies.

In non-WordPress projects, link to the build-style/style.css file directly, it is located at node_modules/@wordpress/components/build-style/style.css.
