Axiom - Pattern Library

A consumable library of Brandwatch UI & UX patterns.

Installation

npm install bw-axiom --save
yarn add bw-axiom

Features

• Materials (colors, sizing) to create custom components while following patterns.
• Components to encapsulate templates, styles and behaviour.
• Composites for larger reusable multi component solutions.
• Utilities to apply UX patterns (like date and number formatting).
• Light and Dark themes at a global level.

### Getting Started

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Login } from 'bw-axiom';

render(
  <Login 
      application="MyApp"
      backgroundImage="./image.png"
      onSubmit={ () => {} } />
, document.getElementById('react-root'))

Setting up CSS and Themes (postcss/cssnext)

// postcss.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('postcss-import')(),
    require('postcss-cssnext')({
      features: {
        customProperties: {
          variables: require('bw-axiom/lib/materials/theme-[light|dark].json'),
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
};

Using just the CSS

The React components provide an abstraction of the templates and CSS, which greatly reduces any needed maintenance when CSS classes or the HTML structure to a component changes. They also encapsulate the behaviour of more interactive components, so components that do require Javascript will not work and will require you to plumb it all together.

The compiled CSS file is stored on the Brandwatch Google Cloud Platform CDN or target individual CSS files from the node_module.

Template and CSS changes are not classed as breaking changes and are not specified in the release notes
