Overview

The UI Book package is a tool that allows developers to easily create documentation for the UI elements of their Elm application. It provides a customizable theme, the ability to organize UI elements into chapters and sections, and the option to showcase stateful widgets. It also offers built-in integration with popular styling packages like elm-ui and elm-css, as well as a built-in development server for easy testing.

Features

  • Plain Elm (no custom setup): The package can be used with a standard Elm application without requiring any custom setup.
  • Customizable theme colors and header: Users can easily change the theme colors of their UI Book to match their brand, and even use their app's logo as the header.
  • Organize UI elements into chapters and sections: Developers can create chapters for each UI element and split them into sections to showcase different variants.
  • Showcase stateful widgets: The package allows users to display complex stateful components to demonstrate how they work in an isolated environment, not just their static states.
  • Log actions: Users can log their action intents to showcase how their UI components react to interactions.
  • Built-in integration with styling packages: The UI Book supports easy integration with popular styling packages like elm-ui and elm-css.
  • Built-in development server (Optional): The package includes a zero-config development server that can be used to quickly view and test the UI Book in the browser.

UI Kits & Components

A UI kit provides developers with a set of reusable components that can be easily integrated into a website or application. These components are pre-designed with consistent styling and functionality, allowing developers to save time and effort in the design and development process. UI kits can be either custom-built or third-party, and often include components for buttons, forms, typography, icons, and more.

Storybook

Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
