This is a proof of concept of a monorepo structure for angular components and design tokens specially designed for design systems

Overview

This monorepo structure for Angular components and design tokens is a compelling solution for developers looking to streamline their design system and component management. Utilizing tools like Lerna and Commitzen, it organizes and maintains component versions effectively while ensuring robust documentation via Storybook and Compodoc. The setup process is straightforward, making it accessible for those who want to enhance their projects with a well-structured design system.

By incorporating design language elements like colors, typography, and iconography, this repository offers a comprehensive range of packages, each designed for modular use. With easy installation for individual components and tokens, it simplifies the integration process into existing Angular applications.

Features

  • Monorepo Structure: Organized repository that enables efficient management of multiple packages for Angular components and design tokens in one place.
  • Version Control with Lerna: Leverages Lerna for maintaining and managing versioning of component packages, ensuring consistency across projects.
  • Documentation via Storybook: Offers a visual interface for developing and showcasing UI components, enhancing collaboration and usability for designers and developers alike.
  • Custom Tokens Package: Provides a dedicated package for design tokens, including colors and typography, facilitating a cohesive design language throughout applications.
  • Easy Local Setup: Simple instructions for local development using Node.js and straightforward commands for installing dependencies and building components.
  • Private Repository Compatibility: Supports integration with private npm repositories, ensuring secure access to components within proprietary projects.
  • Individual Component Installation: Each component can be installed separately, allowing developers to include only what they need, which helps maintain lightweight builds.
  • Global SCSS Support: Enables easy integration of global styles into Angular projects, promoting consistency across different components.

Angular

Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source framework by Google for building dynamic single-page applications and cross-platform mobile apps with MVC architecture and a rich set of features.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

Stylelint

Stylelint is a modern linter for CSS that helps you avoid errors and enforce consistent styling conventions. It provides rules for detecting errors and warnings, and can be configured to match your specific project's requirements.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
