Paste
Paste is a design system for designing and building consistent experiences at Twilio.
Overview:
Paste is a software tool that provides a collection of components and design systems for developers. It offers a range of features, such as a local storybook instance, hosted storybook, dependency management, and peer dependency checking. With Paste, developers can easily create and maintain consistent design systems for their projects.
Features:
- Local Storybook Instance: Run a local instance of Storybook to preview and test components.
- Hosted Storybook: Paste uses Chromatic to host the Storybook instance, making it accessible for collaboration and sharing.
- Dependency Management: Follow specific requirements for handling dependencies in a monorepo.
- Dev Deps: All development dependencies are hoisted to the monorepo root, eliminating the need to list them for each package.
- Peer Deps: Peer dependencies are hoisted up the dependency tree, ensuring all required dependencies are listed correctly.
- Internal Deps: When a package has a peer dependency on another internal package in the monorepo, it must also be listed as a dev dependency for compilation.
- Checking and Fixing Peer Deps: A check is run on every build to ensure peer dependencies are listed correctly. A fix command is available to address any missing peer dependencies.
- Releasing: Paste has a CI/CD process using Changesets to facilitate easy and efficient releases.
- License: Paste is released under the MIT license, allowing for flexibility and wide usage.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
