Design System

The design system components are spread between two folders:

.
├── brands/     # The brand components
└── components/ # The design system components including core

There are two different ways you can run the components locally:

  1. Component build
  2. Docs build

Some high level decisions

  • All components use named exports as the default, no default exports
  • All brands components will have a default export containing the "tokens" objects in addition to the named exports of each.
  • Fonts can't be shipped with npm so the tokens only define the css declarations for the fonts
  • For css-in-js we use jsx imported from @westpac/core and never depend on emotion directly other than inside core itself

Theming / Multi-brand

Multi-brand will be achieved by added a brand package that will be passed to the <GEL/> component

import { GEL } from '@westpac/core';
import brand from '@westpac/WBC';

export const App = () => <GEL brand={brand}>Your app</GEL>;

The brand package includes tokens and overrides and will be available to all packages inside the <GEL/> wrapper via context. This allows us to be as consistent as can be within the same app. It also separates out all things to do with theming into a single package. The brand package does not need to know anything about its components. But it can opt in.

👉 Tokens
name purpose
COLORS Our colors including tints
LAYOUT Only breakpoints so far
PACKS Mostly typography packs for reuse and consistency
SPACING A function with minor scale to allow you to hit the grid
TYPE Font files and definitions
BRAND The current brand string

Overrides

A consumer may choose to override a component in its build. This can happen by adding the overrides into the same namespace as the component you wish to override.

import { Tabcordion } from '@westpac/tabcordion';
import { GEL } from '@westpac/core';
import brand from '@westpac/wbc';

brand['@westpac/tabcordion'].TabItem.styles = ( styles, state ) => { ...styles, border: 'red solid 2px' };
brand['@westpac/tabcordion'].TabRow.component = <TabRow />;

export const App = () => (
	<GEL brand={brand}>
		All instances of the <Tabcordion/> now include the override specified above.
		No matter how many there are.
	</GEL>
);

There may also a need to add an override only to a single instance of the component. In that case you may add the override to the component directly via the overrides prop each component has.

import { Tabcordion } from '@westpac/tabcordion';
import { GEL } from '@westpac/core';
import brand from '@westpac/wbc';

brand['@westpac/tabcordion'].Tabcordion.styles = ( styles, state ) => { ...styles, border: 'red solid 2px' };

const overrides = {
	Tabcordion: {
		styles: ( styles, state ) => { ...styles, border: 'blue solid 2px' },
	},
};

export const App = () => (
	<GEL brand={brand}>
		<Tabcordion/> with red border
		<Tabcordion overrides={overrides} /> with blue border
		<Tabcordion/> with red border
	</GEL>
);

(💡 Overrides will be reconciled as a cascade from less-specific to most-specific.)

Every single component (including root component) have three items in their override object:

overrides = {
	[name]: {
		styles: (base-styles, state-props) => styles,
		component: <React.Component/>
		attributes: (base-attributes, state-props) => Object,
	}
}
👉 Overrides
Key Type Description Function arguments
styles function => Object A function that returns an object of css properties for emotion (base-styles,state/props) base-styles = the styles that would have been applied to the component, state/props = all props and all known state (without setters)
attributes function => Object A function that returns an object of attributes that will be spread onto the component (base-attributes,state/props) base-attributes = the attributes that would have been applied to the component, state/props = all props and all known state (without setters)
component react component A react component which will receive all props -

Data driven API

Components that are made up by other components like list, breadcrumb, button-group, input-group etc can be solely driven by the data prop. We also offer declarative APIs in-case a consumer wants to wrap a component.

<Breadcrumb>
	<Crumb href="#/" text="Home" />
	<Crumb href="#/personal-banking/" text="Personal" />
	<Crumb href="#/credit-cards/" text="Credit cards" />
</Breadcrumb>

Is the same as:

<Breadcrumb
	data={[
		{ href: '#/', text: 'Home' },
		{ href: '#/personal-banking/', text: 'Personal' },
		{ href: '#/credit-cards/', text: 'Credit cards' },
	]}
/>

How we handle focus state

We use the useFocus hook in the GEL component. You can read about the focus hook on medium. The GEL also adds the global focus styling from our PACKS.focus token pack. If you need to add it to something use:

':focus': {
	...PACKS.focus,
},

However if you need a focus state that will persist across mouse users do something like this:

const { PACKS } = useBrand();

const focus = { ...PACKS.focus };
focus.outline += ' !important'; // adding `!important` will make sure the focus persists

<Component
	css={{
		':focus': { ...focus },
	}}
/>;
👉 Naming convention for files inside components
name purpose
index.js Export only public API
_utils.js For code shared between components (ignored in examples) [optional]
ComponentX.js All component files are named after the exported component and pascal cased
00-*.js All files inside the examples/ folder are sorted by file name
*.js All jsx files are postfixed with .js
*.spec.js All (jest) unit tests are postfixed with .spec.js
👉 Props API vocabulary
Prop Description
tag When a component can be rendered as different tags
look When talking about the look of a component like success or hero
href When something points at a thing via a link
icon iconLeft iconRight For passing in an icon
disabled or noBorder For passing boolean flags we use natural language and not is or has prefixes
size For the physical size of a component, should be: 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'xlarge'
spacing For the whitespace size of a component, should be: 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'xlarge'
value For when a component shows a value, often numbers but not only
selected For things inside lists that are being targeted. Like ButtonGroups or CheckGroup. Takes string or array
assistiveText For labeling things for assistive technology (generally renders using VisuallyHidden or aria-label depending on use case)
xsmall small medium large xlarge For t-shirt sizing
data A prop to drive a component-group from data alone

Component build

This build is running all the components examples/demos directly and nothing else. It's for development of a component and for testing it.

You run it via:

cd path/to/root/of/repo
yarn dev [component name]

Docs build

This build is for the developer documentation site that puts all the examples of all components together with a navigation. It's for the docs that are automatically published to:

Purpose branch url
Production master https://westpacgel.netlify.com
Staging develop https://westpacgel-develop.netlify.com

You run it via:

cd path/to/root/of/repo
yarn docs

Blender support

The blender can generate human readable html and css from react and emotion components.

Read more about how you add blender support in the blender README.md.
