Utrecht Design System

This project is very much WORK IN PROGRESS and all components are released as alpha version. Always define the exact version you want to use, and test for breaking changes before upgrading to a newer alpha release.

Applying design elements from this project is strictly prohibited for organisations that are not part of the Municipality of Utrecht.

This project is part of a community iniative to use NL Design System components for projects that need to adhere to the Utrecht Design System. Teams from the central Municipality of Utrecht, as well as those who are contracted by them to develop websites and apps, are able to collaborate via this project.

Getting started

Include the Design Token CSS variables:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/@utrecht/design-tokens/dist/index.css" />

Combine it with the latest Web Components from the NL Design System community, for example:

<script
  src="https://unpkg.com/@utrecht/web-component-library-stencil/dist/utrecht/utrecht.esm.js"
  type="module"
></script>

Then you can go ahead and see the result:

<utrecht-html-content class="utrecht-theme">
  <h1>Page styled with NL Design System</h1>
</utrecht-html-content>

Avoid automatic upgrades to a new version with breaking changes

For all dependencies, see what the version is you use while developing and update the URL without version to include a version number, and ensure your page keeps working even when new versions are released:

For alpha, beta and rc versions:

https://unpkg.com/@utrecht/design-tokens/dist/index.css

Above should become:

https://unpkg.com/@utrecht/design-tokens@1.0.0-alpha.10/dist/index.css

For stable versions it would become:

https://unpkg.com/@utrecht/design-tokens@^1.0.0/dist/index.css

npm packages

name	version
@utrecht/component-library-angular
@utrecht/component-library-css
@utrecht/component-library-react
@utrecht/component-library-vue
@utrecht/design-tokens
@utrecht/icon
@utrecht/web-component-library-angular
@utrecht/web-component-library-react
@utrecht/web-component-library-stencil
@utrecht/web-component-library-vue

In addition to these npm packages, there are lots of packages for CSS components. These follow the following namingg convention: @utrecht/{component}-css, where you can replace {component} with the name of the component. For example: @utrecht/button-css.

Contributing

Install prerequisites

You need to have the following tools installed to run Storybook locally:

• Git
• Node.js and npm
• pnpm. After installing Node.js with npm, you can install pnpm by running: npm install -g pnpm

Open a terminal and run the following commands to check:

• git --version: a relatively recent version should be installed (Git 2.28 or later).
• node -v: should be at least the version defined in the engines section of package.json.
• npm -v: should be at least the version defined in the engines section of package.json.
• pnpm -v: should be at least version 7.

Install code editor

You can use any editor you'd like, but in case you use Visual Studio Code we recommend the following extensions that are useful for this project:

• EditorConfig
• ESLint
• markdownlint
• MDX
• Prettier - Code formatter
• stylelint
• Svg Preview

Developing locally

1. Open Terminal
2. Select the directory this repository should be cloned into with cd <name-of-directory>
3. Clone this Git repository
4. cd utrecht
5. git checkout main to switch to the main branch, if you previously worked in this repository.
6. git pull to get to the latest version of the main branch
7. pnpm install to download and install all the dependencies

Run Docusaurus on your computer

1. Open Terminal
2. Ensure your current directory is utrecht
3. Run pnpm install to ensure the latest and greatest of all dependencies
4. Run pnpm run docs
5. The local version of docusaurus will be running on localhost:3000/utrecht
6. Press Control+C in your terminal to stop Docusaurus

Read the packages/docusaurus/README.md for docusaurus details

Run Storybook on your computer

1. Open Terminal.
2. Ensure your current directory is utrecht
3. Run pnpm install to ensure the latest and greatest of all dependencies
4. Run pnpm run storybook to start Storybook
5. Your main browser opens automatically with your local storybook.
6. Press Control+C in your terminal to stop Storybook.

Debugging Storybook

First check the logs in the terminal if any error is displayed, if something doesn't work as expected.

Secondly check the JavaScript logs in your browsers developer tools if there are errors or warnings.

You can run the code checks with pnpm run lint to see if any code errors can be detected.

You can also check the build logs of the design tokens for errors, if you have changed Style Dictionary JSON files, by building those separately:

1. cd proprietary/design-tokens/
2. pnpm run build

npm scripts for development web servers

script	description
pnpm run docusaurus	Start development docusaurus at localhost:3000 (without access to Storybook, start pnpm run nx-storybook in parallel if you need that)
pnpm run storybook	Start HTML/CSS Components Storybook localhost:6006
pnpm run storybook-all	Start development Storybook with composition for each framework at localhost:6006
pnpm run serve-docusaurus	Start production Docusaurus website (without access to Storybook) at localhost:8080
pnpm run serve-storybook-angular	Start production Storybook for Angular Components at localhost:7009
pnpm run serve-storybook-react	Start production Storybook for React Components at localhost:7008
pnpm run serve-storybook-vue	Start production Storybook for Vue.js Components at localhost:7007
pnpm run serve	Start production Docusaurus website with access to each Storybook at localhost:8080
pnpm run storybook-angular	Start development Storybook for Angular Components at localhost:6009
pnpm run storybook-css	Start development Storybook for CSS Components, HTML Components and Web Components at localhost:6006
pnpm run storybook-react	Start development Storybook for React Components at localhost:6008
pnpm run storybook-vue	Start development Storybook for Vue.js Components at localhost:6007

The scripts above use nx to automatically run all scripts that are a prerequisite for that particular script. Unfortunately nx often hides the error message when something is wrong. In case nx doesn't work, use follow these simple steps instead to better see the error message in the terminal.
