This template contains all relevant linting rules used by the NL Design System repository. It also contains the Storybook setup with two example components and two example general documentation page. Feel free to add or modify those documentation pages and use the example components as an initial template to create your own storybook components.
- Choose a prefix for your organisation. For example: the main NL Design System uses
nl-, The Hague usesdenhaag-, and you can choose something unique for you to use. - Modify
.stylelintrc.jsonby replacing the prefixexamplewith the prefix you have chosen, in the following rules:custom-property-pattern,selector-class-patternandkeyframes-name-pattern. - Choose and register an npm organisation on npmjs.com, if you haven't already. This is very important to keep your project secure. The core NL Design System uses
@nl-design-system/, and you can choose something for yourself. This prevents others from adding their code to your teams codebase. - Modify the
package.jsonandpackage-lock.jsonfiles to use your npm organisation scope. - Modify
.npmpackagejsonlintrc.jsonto require your organisation scope in package names, by configuring thevalid-values-name-scopeproperty.
In .storybook/customTheme.js the theme used by NL Design System can be found. By changing those properties one can style the storybook to match ones brand. Checkout https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/configure/theming to learn more about all the possible configurations to brand this storybook.
- In
src/demo-empty-componentan example story of a documentation first (or documentation only) component can be found. - Copy this folder
- Rename to match your component
- The folder
- The
x.stories.mdxtocomponent-name.stories.mdx - The title of the
Metacomponent incomponent-name.stories.mdx
- Add the UX guidelines in
README.md - Optionally add the component specific accessibility or content guidelines in
docs/accessibility-guidelinesordocs/content-guidelines. - Optionally add the Figma component in
component-name.stories.mdxby adding part of the Figma url to the Figma component<Figma title="Link" url="file/..." />
Add global tokens to /brand.css. Add tags to make them appear in the Storybook Design token addon. For example @tokens Colors and @presenter Color. See https://storybook.js.org/addons/@tommyem/storybook-design-token for more details.
In src/demo-link-component an example story and web-component can be found. All steps below are represented in this demo-link.stories.mdx example.
To add a component implementation to storybook, we use the <component-name>-stories.mdx which already contains the documentation pages or create one with placeholder documentation by following step 1-3 from the Adding UX and other documentation without a component implementation chapter.
- Create a component template function that takes variable arguments. If an argument might contain childnodes, use the
sanatizepackage to prevent unsafe content and injections. Place thisTemplatefunction above theMetacomponent - Declare a story for each component variation and bind the template
- Declare the possible inputs, with types and a description in the
argTypesproperty of theMetacomponent instories.mdx. - Add an
Argstablecomponent in yourstories.mdx - Optionally add a different
statusto theMetaparameters. The options and colors can be found in.storybook/preview.js - Add the code below to the
Metaparameters to ensure a resolved code example in your story, instead of the Template function:
parameters: {
docs: {
transformSource: (_src, { args }) => Template(args),
},
// ...
