EPFL Elements React Library

The EPFL Elements React library is a collection of React components based on the EPFL Elements Style Guide. There were different attempts to build such a library (elements-react, epfl-sti-react-library), but is now a join task force based on the library developed by the STI faculty.

The code in this repository provides both the EPFL Elements React Storybook, where you can preview each components, and the epfl-elements-react library itself, which is published on the npm registry.

TL;DR (Usage)

  ? Select a framework: › - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit.
      Vanilla
      Vue
  ❯   React
      [...]
      Others
  

• In the newly create directory, install the library:

  npm install epfl-elements-react
  

• Import component using the library

  import { Component } from '@epfl/epfl-elements-react'
