Carbon for IBM Products is an open source implementation of the closed source Carbon for Cloud & Cognitive pattern asset library (PAL). These PAL designs build on the foundation of IBM’s open source Carbon Design System and React implementation to offer components and patterns beyond the typical component library. Carbon for IBM Products was previously known as Carbon for IBM Cloud and Cognitive, and this name can still be encountered in various places and historical logs.
If you’re just getting started and looking to browse our React components, take a look at our Storybook.
All of our source code and documentation, including this readme, can be found on our GitHub repo, which is also the place to open issues if you have a problem or find a defect or would like to request a new feature or change something.
If you have access to the IBM Slack workspaces, join our Slack channel where you can ask questions, report problems, and get help from the team and from other users.

This project is made possible by several community members who have invested their precious time to give back to the Carbon community. It will continue to be possible by having those that benefit from the package contribute back to it.
So, do not be shy. We both depend on and appreciate contributors, new and old, who help us fix bugs, build new features, improve our documentation, etc.
This repository is a monorepo and contains multiple packages so be sure to check the relevant package for any package-specific guidance.
