DARWIN Studio UI Library

What is it?

It's lightweight and flexible UI Library for Vue 3.

🚧 DISCLAIMER: Under construction. So please, don't use in production.

In short

Components created by Brad Frost's Atomic Design.
Design tokens allow widely customize component appearance.
Reusable logic is extracted into compositions, directives, mixins and utilities.
Focus-visible polyfill is used to emulate :focus-visible CSS prop for a11y purpose.
Build in reset style and google fonts support.
Customizable components' transitions (animations).
Icon set agnostic.

⚠️ WARNING: Components of the library have to be compiled with sass-loader, so you need sass-loader package as a dev dependency.

Installation

npm i @darwin-studio/ui-vue
npm i -D sass-loader sass

Basic Usage

<template>
  <!--...-->
  <DTypography :content="htmlString" />
  <!-- or -->
  <DTypography>
    <h1>Hi there!</h1>
  </DTypography>
  <!--...-->
  <!--Try out our visual debug component. You'll love it!-->
  <DDebugVisual />
</template>

<script>
import { DTypography, DDebugVisual } from "@darwin-studio/ui-vue";

export default {
  //...
  components: {
    DTypography,
    DDebugVisual
  },

  data() {
    return {
      htmlString:
        "<p>Content prop may contains <b>any HTML string</b>." +
        'All <a href="/about">relative links</a> will be treated as routes if you have vue-router installed.</p>'
    };
  }
  //...
};
</script>

<style>
/* By convention root element of all components has eponymous class name. */
.d-typography {
  /* You can override css custom props to redefine design tokens on runtime. */
  --text: #222;
  --general-font-size: 16px;
  --general-line-height: 24px;

Icon components

The library also exports default icons which used by default in some components. You can easily replace them with your own by using appropriate component slots. Here you can find default icons: '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/components/icons'.

Reusability and code splitting

We use composition API, directives, mixins and utils to reuse and split code. More details you can find in appropriate directory.

Compositions: '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/compositions/'.
Directives: '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/directives/'.
Mixins: '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/mixins/'.
Utils: '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/utils/'.

Design Tokens

Feel free to customize default appearance of the components by redefining design tokens either in build time via SCSS variables or in runtime via CSS custom properties. You can even import design token to your _.js or _.vue files. To redefine customize look and feel of the components just create css/scss file containing design tokens with you own values and import it into your application. Alternatively you can redefine design tokens all in only place using our plugin.

import { createApp } from "vue";
// ...
// Import plugin
import { darwinStudioUiPlugin } from "@darwin-studio/ui-vue";

createApp(App)
  .use(darwinStudioUiPlugin, {
    // Plugin options
    designTokens: {
      // use CSS custom property name without leading --.
      "color-primary": "#333",
      "transition-time-short": "200ms"
    }
  })
  .mount("#app");

You can find whole list of design tokens in '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/assets/styles/tokens'.

Style mixins

Some common component styles extracted into SCSS mixins and stored in separate directory. Feel free to reuse them in your own project.
More details you can find in '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/assets/styles/mixins'.

Vue transitions

Some common component transitions extracted into separate directory. Feel free to reuse them in your own project.
More details you can find in '@dariwn-studio/ui-vue/src/assets/styles/transitions'.

Reset styles

Use the library plugin options to reset styles as follows:

import { createApp } from "vue";
// ...
// Import plugin
import { darwinStudioUiPlugin } from "@darwin-studio/ui-vue";

createApp(App)
  .use(darwinStudioUiPlugin, {
    // Plugin options
    resetStyles: true // default is true so you don't have to specify it explicitly
  })
  .mount("#app");

Alternatively just add following line into your general scss file to reset all browser-specific styles.

@import "@darwin-studio/ui-vue/src/assets/styles/reset";

Fonts

You can easily add any google font to your project by using the library plugin.

import { createApp } from "vue";
// ...
// Import plugin
import { darwinStudioUiPlugin } from "@darwin-studio/ui-vue";

createApp(App)
  .use(darwinStudioUiPlugin, {
    // Plugin options
    googleFonts: [
      {
        // Specify font family name
        family: "Montserrat",
        // Specify font family properties to improve load speed
        props: "wght@100&display=swap"
      },
      {
        family: "Inter"
      }
    ],
    // Specify only chars you are going to use to improve load speed
    googleFontsText: "abcdefghijklmnopqrst",
    // Specify google font's API url if you need
    googleFontsApi: "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css"
  })
  .mount("#app");

Then you can use specified font families in your scss/css files as usual.

:root {
  // --font-family CSS custom property defines default font.
  --font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
}

.some-class {
  font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
}

.some-other-class {
  font-family: "Inter", sans-serif;
}

Icons

Despite the library exposes some internal icons we don't stick with one of icon sets, you can choose one yourself. To do so just use @iconify/vue package or any of your choice.
