ACME Corp. Potted Plants - Component Library

There is also a starter package.

Note that Node 17 may not work with some of the deeper dependencies; if you get errors, please use Node 16 instead. Consider using n or nvm for this.

React component library with components generated and/or composed with Figmagic. Made for The newline Guide to React Component Design Systems with Figmagic.

In the context of the course, it's meant to be used with our example application.

Technology

  • Figmagic
  • React
  • Styled Components
  • Webpack
  • ESLint
  • Prettier
  • Babel

Instructions

  • Initialize the project with npm run init, which will:
    • Install Storybook with npx sb init -f
    • Install dependencies with npm install --force (important, as regular install will not work correctly)
  • Run Storybook with npm start
  • Create a .env file that contains values for FIGMA_URL, FIGMA_TOKEN and CHROMATIC_TOKEN

Structure

  • /.storybook: Storybook configuration
  • /src/index.jsx: Component exports
  • /src/utils.js: Basic JavaScript utility functions
  • /src/components: Manually composed complex React components
  • /src/elements: Figmagic-generated React components ("elements")
  • /src/graphics: Figmagic-generated graphics
  • /src/tokens: Figmagic-generated design tokens

Component architecture

The very short version is that elements are generated files. Here we only change React and/or Styled Components files, so they can be styled correctly and can become functional.

In components we compose new items out of the elements and whatever wrapping code we might need, with DIVs and CSS etc.

Provided components

All component code is provided for you, and the course should refer to the very same code you find here.

Demo

We will recreate this in the course.

  • Demo

Products view

  • ProductCard
  • CartButton

Checkout view

  • FormInput
  • CheckoutForm
  • CheckoutItem
  • IconButton

Provided elements

These will be recreated in the course.

  • Button
  • Card
  • CartSymbol
  • Description
  • Footer
  • Form
  • Header
  • Heading
  • Image
  • Input
  • Minus
  • Plus

Building your own components

Starting with the course, you should move out the src/components folder to the root (or delete it) so you can see the more basic elements working on their own first.

Same goes for tokens, elements and graphics. A recommendation would be to keep all the pre-provided code in a folder in the root so you can eyeball it in case you wonder how something was originally built.

Files that you will modify after generating them

Files that will be modified while doing the course:

  • Button: src/elements/Button/Button.js
  • Button: src/elements/Button/ButtonStyled.js
  • Card: src/elements/Card/CardStyled.js
  • Card: src/elements/Card/Card.stories.mdx
  • Description: src/elements/Description/DescriptionStyled.js
  • Footer: src/elements/Footer/FooterStyled.js
  • Heading: src/elements/Heading/HeadingStyled.js
  • Image: src/elements/Image/Image.js
  • Image: src/elements/Image/ImageStyled.js
  • Image: src/elements/Image/Image.stories.mdx
  • Input: src/elements/Input/Input.js
  • Input: src/elements/Input/InputStyled.js
  • Label: src/elements/Label/LabelStyled.js
  • Form: src/elements/Form/FormStyled.js

Figmagic configuration

You need to set the FIGMA_URL and FIGMA_TOKEN, for example in an .env file.

The provided configuration at figmagic.json should be a good starting point.

Remember to have your overwrite object correctly set up if you expect to modify the generated files! The provided config will overwrite anything except the React and Styled Components files.
