This package contains the following design system assets:
- Base styles
- Utility classes
- Sass/CSS and React components
- Sass mixins and variables
- Fonts and images
npm install --save @cmsgov/design-system-core
The source files included are written in Sass (.scss
). You can add your node_modules
directory to your Sass includePaths
and import the file like this:
@import "@cmsgov/design-system-core/src/index";
or import the transpiled CSS:
@import "@cmsgov/design-system-core/dist/index.css";
Please view the documentation site for additional information.
Examples of the design system in use can be found in the examples
directory on GitHub.
Please submit an issue on GitHub for any bugs or feature requests.
You can also read our CONTRIBUTING.md document to learn about setting up a local development environment, contributing to the design system, and our coding guidelines.
The design system follows a variation of ITCSS (Inverted Triangle architecture for CSS). The goal is to write CSS in specificity order.
