Our aim is to build a simple React components library using styled-components
and TypeScript.
Phoenix Components takes advantage of some 3rd party libraries to create consistently styled components
-
@tippyjs/react
- dropdown and positioning engine for the Dropdown component -
countries-and-timezones
- list of timezones for the TimezonePicker component -
is-mobile
- detecting mobile device for the Select component -
nanoid
- unique string ID generator for Checkbox and Radio components -
noUiSlider
- complete solution for the Slider (and Range) component -
react-day-picker
- date picker for DatePicker and DateRangePicker components -
react-dropzone
- drag'n'drop support for the FileUpload component -
react-inlinesvg
- Inline loading of SVG files (to support hover effects) across all components using icons -
react-pdf
- PDF files preview for the FileUpload component -
react-select
- complete solution for the Select component -
react-tabs
- complete solution for the Tabs component and its subcomponents (TabList, Tab and TabPanel)
Before merging to master run npm run release:feature
, this will create a new version tag. After that you can merge your branch to master and from there you can run npm run release:publish
.
npm i @purple/phoenix-components
-
Phoenix components use by default Mulish font with weights 400 and 600. If you want to use this default font, please add it to your project, using for example Google Fonts.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Mulish:wght@400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

Import
Theme
from Phoenix Components and wrap the app in<ThemeProvider>
fromstyled-components
providing theTheme
object. If your repository already contains customstyled-components
theme, merge both themes together. Also, import<GlobalStyles>
component which provides styles such as default font and sizes, and include it once in your project.import merge from 'lodash/merge' import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components' import { GlobalStyles, Theme as PhoenixTheme } from '@purple/phoenix-components' import { Theme } from './CustomAppTheme' ... function App() { return ( <ThemeProvider theme={merge(PhoenixTheme, Theme)}> <GlobalStyles /> { ... your app ... } </ThemeProvider> ) }
You can optionally include
dir
key in the theme with values either'ltr'
or'rtl'
. This is not required but it will slightly optimize CSS generated to support right-to-left layouts, resulting in smaller footprint.... <ThemeProvider theme={merge({ dir: 'rtl' }, Theme)}> ...
-
Import components that you need and use them according to the docs.
import { TextInput } from '@purple/phoenix-components'
You can extend the components with styled-components
.
For example:
import styled from 'styled-components'
import { TextInput } from '@purple/phoenix-components'
const StyledInput = styled(TextInput)`
// css overrides here
`
Since version 5, Phoenix components use design tokens for styling. If you want to change appearance of the components you need to provide ThemeProvider
with a custom set of tokens (JSON file).
Previously (in v4), components were styled using object
$pc
within the theme file. This object is deprecated and will be removed in version 6.
Default MyAxiory tokens bundled with Phoenix components come from this repository https://github.com/purple-technology/my-axiory-tokens. These tokens originate from designers, specifically from Figma plugin called Tokens Studio. For your own project, you need to be given an access to a similar repo with custom design tokens.
Tokens in the repo come as a generic JSON file (or multiple files) that can be used on different platforms - web, mobile (iOS, Android). But in order to use them on each platform they need to be transformed accordingly for better usability. For this transformation, a tool called style-dictionary
is used. Very basic config file could look like this (style-dictionary.config.json
):
{
"source": [
"my-axiory-tokens/tokens/global.json"
],
"platforms": {
"js": {
"transformGroup": "js",
"buildPath": "src/tokens/",
"files": [
{
"destination": "tokens.json",
"format": "json/nested"
}
]
}
}
}
-
Pull repo with custom tokens, for example:
git -C my-axiory-tokens pull || git clone https://github.com/purple-technology/my-axiory-tokens.git
-
Run
style-dictionary build
which takes by defaultstyle-dictionary.config.json
file placed in root of the project. -
Merge default Phoenix theme with your custom generated tokens JSON file and provide it to
ThemeProvider
component. Note: tokens reside within the theme object as a keytokens
!import customTokens from './customTokens.json' (...) <ThemeProvider theme={merge(PhoenixTheme, { tokens: customTokens })}>
Phoenix Components ver. 5 transitioned to using Design tokens. This change affected namings of several entities.
Sizes of the components have been updated to be more consistent with other sizing and spacing units.
Previous size | Current size |
---|---|
tiny | xs |
small | sm |
medium | md |
large | lg |
These changes affect components Button
, ButtonGroup
, DateInput
, Heading
, LinkButton
, List
, Modal
, MultiSelect
, Pagination
, Paragraph
, Tag
and Text
.
Find all instances of
size="tiny"
and replace withsize="xs"
. Similarly for other sizes. Don't forget that a value can be written also for examplesize={'tiny'}
or that value can be calculated so you won't be able to look these instances so easily.
Also sizing types have been renamed.
Previous size type | Current size type |
---|---|
ComponentSize | Sizing |
ComponentSizeSmallMedium | SizingSmMd |
ComponentSizeMediumLarge | SizingMdLg |
ComponentSizeSmallMediumLarge | SizingSmMdLg |
Replace all previous size types with the new ones.
Text colors were renamed
Previous color | Current color |
---|---|
darkest | primary |
dark | secondary |
light | tertiary |
lightest | quaternary |
These changes affect components Heading
, Paragraph
and Text
.
For the ColorTheme
enum and colorTheme
props, the color primary
has been renamed to color brand
. Other colors (success
, warning
, error
, info
, neutral
) remain the same.
- Search for all
colorTheme="primary"
and replace withcolorTheme="brand"
- Search for all
color="darkest"
and replace withcolor="primary"
. Same for dark, light and lightest.
Spacings were also updated to be more consistent with other units. However, these changes are backwards compatible. Old values have been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
Previous value | Current value |
---|---|
xxxs | 3xs |
xxs | 2xs |
xs | xs |
s | sm |
m | md |
l | lg |
xl | xl |
xxl | 2xl |
xxxl | 3xl |
Since these changes are backwards-compatible, you don't have to do anything right now. But from now on, use the new values. Also, only new values will be hinting in your editor.
Both components have now a new style available - outline. This style can be enabled by the prop named outline
.
Minimal style is now available in all color themes. Default style for minimal is now brand
, instead of neutral
.
If you want to keep the same styling, add
colorTheme="neutral"
to Buttons withminimal
prop.
Previously, this component had only a single style. Currently, there are 3 styles available that correspond with the styles of the button - primary, secondary and outline. Default style is now primary
. Previous style is currently secondary
and must be explicitly enabled by the prop secondary
.
Search for all instances of
Tag
component and addsecondary
prop.
Prop colorTheme
has been removed and there's only color
prop now excepting all text colors (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary), color theme colors (brand, success, warning, error, info, neutral) and any valid CSS value.
Instead of 3 sizes (small, medium, large), these components now include 4 sizes - xs, sm, md, lg. For Text and Paragraph components, default value is now sm
. Since there's one more size, original size small
is now xs
.
- Search all instances of Text, Paragraph and Heading and replace
colorTheme
withcolor
.- Replace
size="small"
withsize="xs"
. (If you already replaced sizing with new sizes, you have to search forsize="sm"
.)
Also, Paragraph
component now has a new prop lineHeight
which accepts standard sizing values xs
, sm
, md
and lg
or any other valid CSS value. Default value is md
.
Prop colorTheme
has been removed and there's only color
prop now excepting all text colors (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary), color theme colors (brand, success, warning, error, info, neutral) and any valid CSS value. Also, color
prop now affects only text. To change color of the bullet, use bulletColor
which accepts the same values.
- Search all instances of List and ListItem and replace
colorTheme
withbulletColor
.- Search for all
bulletColor
props and changedarkest
toprimary
,dark
tosecondary
etc. (see the section Colors)
Props colorTheme
and light
removed and replaced with a simple color
prop. This prop behaves similarly like prop color
in Heading/Text/Paragraph components, ie. excepting all text colors (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary), color theme colors (brand, success, warning, error, info, neutral) and any valid CSS value.
Also, filled icons ending with -primary are now named as -brand, so instead of icon="smartphone-primary"
, it's now icon="smartphone-brand"
etc.
- Search for all instances of Icon component and if there's a
light
prop, then just replace it withcolor="white"
- Search for all instances of Icon component and replace all
colorTheme
props withcolor
(Note: If you haven't already done it before, replace valuesprimary
withbrand
- see the section Colors)- Search for all used filled brand icons. These icons were ending with
-primary
. You have to replace all-primary
at the end with-brand
This component was marked as deprecated in v4 and was removed in v5. Use Box
component instead.
- Search for all instances of Spacer component and replace them with Box component. If there's a prop
w
orh
used, use some kind of margin or padding prop instead (mt
,pl
,pr
etc.). You can also usewidth
orheight
props but these do not support Spacing values (xs
,sm
,md
etc.).
In prop tables, all removed properties are listed with notes how to update the component.
