Shared Components
A shared React component library for Bandwidth UI projects
Overview
The Bandwidth Shared Component Library (SCL) is an essential toolkit for developers creating React applications. As a robust set of components, it has been specifically designed to streamline the UI development process for Bandwidth-related projects. Although SCL is now deprecated in favor of Foundry, its ease of use and quick integration still provide valuable insights for current developers in the ecosystem.
This library enhances the development experience by allowing seamless integration of both fonts and component styles, making it a go-to resource for teams that prioritize efficiency and branding consistency. Even though users are encouraged to migrate to Foundry, understanding SCL remains beneficial for grasping foundational design principles and component use in React.
