Lion
Fundamental white label web component features for your design system.
Overview
Lion represents an innovative collection of Web Components designed to bring high performance, accessibility, and flexibility to web development. By offering an unopinionated, white-label foundation, Lion empowers developers to create customized designs without restricting styling options. This makes it an attractive choice for teams and individuals looking to integrate efficient and user-friendly components into their applications.
With a focus on modern coding practices, Lion's components are built as pure ES modules, ensuring that developers can easily extend their functionalities. The emphasis on compliance with accessibility standards further enhances the usability of these components, making them a practical choice for creating inclusive web applications.
Features
- High Performance: Lion components are optimized for fast loading and smooth interactions across all major browsers, minimizing dependency overhead.
- Accessibility Compliance: Designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, these components prioritize accessibility, ensuring that all users have an equal experience.
- Flexible Solutions: The framework allows developers to adopt and customize components through Web Components and JavaScript classes tailored to meet specific needs.
- Modern Code Distribution: Lion components are distributed as pure ES modules, allowing for straightforward integration and decreased complexity in incorporating new functionalities.
- Functional Stylings: The initial styling for demos is intentionally simple, encouraging developers to build upon and create their own unique designs without conflicts.
- Extensibility: The primary use case for Lion is to easily extend component classes, offering a robust foundation for developing bespoke components within your design system.
- Developer-Friendly APIs: Various "systems" within Lion, such as localize and overlays, provide JavaScript APIs for enhanced interactivity and features.
- Astro
Astro is the all-in-one web framework designed for speed. Pull your content from anywhere and deploy everywhere, all powered by your favorite UI components and libraries.
- 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.
- GitHub Pages
Gridsome is a Vue.js-based static site generator that makes it easy to build fast and flexible websites and applications by leveraging modern web technologies like GraphQL, Webpack, and hot reloading
- 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.
- Web Components
Web components provide a way to create reusable, encapsulated UI components using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They allow developers to create complex UI components that can be easily shared across multiple projects and frameworks. Web components are built using four main specifications: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Templates, and ES Modules.
