The JavaScript front-end framework for building experiences for Office and Office 365.
Fabric JS is a JavaScript front-end framework which provides visuals-focused components to extend, re-work and use in your Office and Office 365 experiences. Fabric JS uses styles from the Office UI Fabric Core project. Fabric JS is a collection of responsive, mobile-first styles and tools designed to make it quick and simple for you to create web experiences using the Office Design Language.
Latest version: Fabric JS 1.4.0, which uses Fabric Core 5.0.1.

Clone, build, and view the docs
Before you get started, make sure you have node.js, gulp, and git installed. To build Fabric:
- Clone the repo
- Navigate to the folder that contains the gulpfile.js file (Fabric JS's root).

gulp watch
The built files will be in the /dist/
folder. You can then add these built files directly to your project.
You can also navigate to http://localhost:2020 to see the local docs site where you can test out the components' responsive behavior and see the samples.
