A port of ReachUI to SolidJS

Github

Overview

Solid ReachUI is an exciting project aimed at providing an accessible foundation for Solid applications and design systems. As a port of ReachUI, it promises to bring familiar accessibility features to Solid developers. However, it is worth noting that this project is in very early development, meaning there may still be bugs and lack of comprehensive documentation. For those eager to explore Solid ReachUI, it's a fascinating glimpse into the potential for creating accessible web applications with Solid.

While the project is still maturing, early adopters can look forward to its various components, each functioning with the hope of maintaining a nearly identical API to that of its predecessor, ReachUI. This can make for a smoother transition for developers already familiar with ReachUI's ecosystem.

Features

  • Wide Range of Components: Offers essential UI components such as Accordion, Alert, Combo Box, Dialog (Modal), Tabs, and more, aimed at enhancing user experience with solid accessibility.
  • Individual Package Installation: Each component is available as an individual package under the @solid-reach namespace, allowing developers to install only what they need.
  • Aim for Feature-Parity: The project is designed to achieve feature parity with ReachUI, ensuring comparable functionality and user experience.
  • Familiar API Design: While still in development, the goal is to maintain an API closely aligned with ReachUI, which facilitates ease of use for existing ReachUI users.
  • Real-time Development Progress: The status of each component is transparently communicated, with clear indicators showing what is released, in progress, or building.
  • Focus on Accessibility: A fundamental aspect of the project is to provide components that prioritize accessibility, making it easier for developers to create inclusive applications.
  • Storybook for Component Preview: Although documentation is still lacking, developers can explore the ported components through Storybook, giving them a visual understanding of their functionality.

Rollup

RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.

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.
