Clarity
Clarity is a scalable, accessible, customizable, open source design system built with web components. Works with any JavaScript framework, built for enterprises, and designed to be inclusive.
Overview
The Clarity Design System is an open source design system that provides UX guidelines, design resources, and coding implementations with Web Components. It consists of five npm packages and offers support for various JavaScript frameworks like Angular and React. The Clarity Design System is licensed under the MIT license and welcomes contributions from the community.
Features
- Web Components: The Clarity Design System includes Web Components that can be used in any JavaScript framework.
- Angular Support: Clarity provides shims for using the design system within an Angular environment.
- React Support: Clarity also offers shims for using the design system within a React environment.
- Open Source Typeface: The Clarity Design System includes an open source sans-serif typeface called Clarity City.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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.
