Storybook: https://designsystem.gov.bc.ca/react-components/

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/bcgov/design-system

To use, install this package and import the components into your application.

Install

npm install @bcgov/design-system-react-components

BC Sans font dependency

This package installs @bcgov/bc-sans as a peer dependency. You must import the font-face declarations from @bcgov/bc-sans and ensure the font is reachable for your end user. The React components require that the BC Sans font-face is available to display correctly. The components do not ship their own copies of the font to minimize your bundle size.

Important! If you are on a BC Government-provisioned laptop, you already have the BC Sans font installed on your machine. This package uses BC Sans (with a space) for its font styles. If you are using this component library but not supplying the font, it's possible that your machine will still display the font correctly for you, but not your end user. Make sure to check this by disabling the font on your machine or by testing with another machine.

Use

1// App.jsx
2
3// If you're already importing the BC Sans font-face somewhere else in your
4// project, there is no need to import it again. Just make sure the `BC Sans`
5// declaration and font files are available.
6import "@bcgov/bc-sans/css/BC_Sans.css";
7
8// Import the individual components you need

10  Button,
11  Footer,
12  Header,

Supported React versions

This package has a peer dependency on react and react-dom at these versions: "^16.14.0 || ^17.0.0-rc.1 || ^18.0.0"

By targeting v16.14.0 as a minimum, we get to use React's modern JSX transformation in tsconfig.json:

1"jsx": "react-jsx",

This means there's no need for unused import React from "react" statements in your JSX files.

Versions

This project follows semantic versioning. See CHANGELOG.md for version details.

Development

Components

Components live in ./src/components and are targeted by the build process with an export in ./src/index.ts.

Testing components with Jest

Unit tests can be run with Jest using npm run test.

Storybook

Storybook stories live in ./src/stories.

Run npm run storybook-dev to access the Storybook instance for the component library.

New versions of Storybook are automatically built in a GitHub Actions workflow and deployed in the -dev namespace in the OpenShift Silver cluster. See .github/build_react_component_library_apps.yaml.

To deploy a new version of Storybook into -test or -prod, log in to the OpenShift CLI and run:

1# Create a new layer in the `test` ImageStream from the latest `develop` image:
2oc tag ed91fb-tools/design-system-react-components-storybook:develop ed91fb-tools/design-system-react-components-storybook:test
3
4# `develop` to `production`
5oc tag ed91fb-tools/design-system-react-components-storybook:develop ed91fb-tools/design-system-react-components-storybook:production

Testing with Storybook Test Runner

With Storybook running locally, use the npm run test-storybook script to run @storybook/test-runner using the configuration defined in ./.storybook/test-runner.ts. Learn more about Storybook Test Runner.

Vite kitchen sink application

Vite uses the components code directly from ./src/components in groups of content in ./src/pages.

Run npm run vite-dev to access the Vite React demo app.

Publish new versions

npm package

To generate an updated copy of the package for distribution, run the included Rollup script: npm run rollup.

This will place artifacts in the dist folder, which is targeted for publishing in package.json with the files field.

Update the package version in package.json and run npm publish to push a new version.

To publish a beta/release candidate version, use npm publish --tag next.

GitHub release

GitHub releases are based on git tags.

1# From your `main` branch, cut a new tag locally based on a commit SHA
2git tag @bcgov/design-system-react-components@<version here> <commit SHA here>
3
4# Push the tag to GitHub
5git push --tags

From the Releases page, click "Draft a new release".

For "Choose a tag", select the tag you created. For the previous tag, use the previous version of the same package.

Copy the Changelog notes for the new version and link to the npm page for the new version.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions are located in /.github/workflows in the project root. Actions are included to:

• Build the Storybook and Vite applications on merge to main
• Test (Jest and Playwright) on pull request
• Publish new versions of the library on npm (next tag) on merge to main
