Geist
Svelte implementation of Vercel's Design System. (WIP)
Overview
Geist is a Svelte-based implementation of the popular Geist Design System created by Vercel. While still a work in progress, this project aims to provide developers with access to the design principles and components found in the original system. It promises a seamless experience by keeping the APIs closely aligned with the original Geist offerings, making it a valuable tool for developers looking to integrate modern design without sacrificing functionality.
This implementation is not a standalone component library, which offers flexibility for developers. It's built using shadcn-svelte, providing a solid foundation for customization and extension. Overall, Geist is an exciting initiative for Svelte users aiming to harness a well-structured design system while fostering community contributions.
Features
- Svelte Integration: Built with Svelte, combining the flexibility of reactive programming with a modern design ethos.
- API Consistency: The project strives to maintain APIs that are as close to the original Geist system as possible, enhancing usability for existing users.
- Theming Capability: Easy theming options with the addition of the
<ModeWatcher/>component, allowing for dynamic style adjustments throughout the application. - Svg Plugin Support: Provides built-in support for SVGs, making it simpler to implement icons and graphics within your app.
- Tailwind CSS Ready: Integration with Tailwind CSS ensures streamlined styling and customization options straight out of the box.
- Community Contributions: Encourages developers to contribute, fostering a collaborative environment that enriches the project.
- User-Friendly Setup: Setup instructions that guide users through installation and configuration, making it approachable for developers of all levels.
- Development Focused: Not simply a component library, but a toolbox for creating tailored design solutions, allowing for high degrees of creativity.
- Svelte
Svelte is a modern front-end framework that compiles your code at build time, resulting in smaller and faster applications. It uses a reactive approach to update the DOM, allowing for high performance and a smoother user experience.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- 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.
