Scandic Design System

This repo contains the design system for Scandic Hotels.

It is built on Vite.

The output is an NPM package.

It is currently not published to any registry. Consumers are free to choose how to consume the distribution.

The stack

Tech in this repository

• react-aria-components: Accessible components (set as peer dependency).
• Storybook: Frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation.
• Vite: Build tool

Usage

Most of the components in this design system are self explanatory, refer to the Storybook for reference and use cases.

However there are some components that benefit from a bit more documentation and these have more documentation attached to their Storybook.

One such notable component is the Typography component. Read the documentation in the docs for the components story in Storybook at lib/components/Typography/Typography.docs.mdx or read it in the deployed Storybook in a browser. For example: https://design-system-scandic-hotels.netlify.app/?path=/docs/components-typography--docs

Clone the repository

To get started with the project, clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:scandic-swap/web.git
cd web
yarn

Do your changes

Work your magic.

Build the project

yarn workspace @scandic-hotels/design-system build

Push the build output to origin

git add packages/design-system/
git commit
git push

Main script targets

Run the following script targets either from the project root with:

yarn workspace @scandic-hotels/design-system <script target>

Or run them from the package directory:

cd packages/design-system
yarn <script target>

Both approaches give the same result.

Develop

Script target	Action
dev	Runs the example project through Vite in dev mode. This command will start a local development server that serves ./example.
storybook	Starts the Storybook server and launches into the Storybook UI.
lint	Lints the codebase using ESLint and TypeScript.
lint:fix	Automatically fixes linting issues wherever possible.

Build

Script target	Action
build	Builds the design system distribution into ./dist.

Typescript configurations

This project uses two different tsconfig.json. One for developing and one for building. The main purpose of the tsconfig.json for building is to exclude all the files not needed for the distribution itself.

Components

Each component of the design system is defined in lib/components.

Each component has an index.tsx file that exports the component and its optional subcomponents. Subcomponents are components that are mean to be used togther/nested with the component.

The components that are considered public API from a consumer standpoint must have Storybook stories that showcases and documents their use.

Styling is done with CSS modules.

Variants are implemented with Class Variance Authority.

The typings for each components live in their respective types.ts file inside the component folder.

Each component has a dedicated export declaration in package.json to facilitate tree shaking and importing component individually. This allows components that are not client components to remain as such when imported in server components.

Remember to add an export line to the package.json of this package when adding a new components.

Storybook

Each component should have at least one Storybook story. A default story that showcases the component by itself in its default state. More stories are added to showcase other variants or usages of the component.

Compositions

Stories that involve other non-related components are compositions. These should be placed in the Compositions/ folder where the composition has the best chance of discoverability, typically inside the component folder of the outermost component of the composition. Exporting the same composition in multiple places can be good for discoverability.

Icons

Still a work in progress.
