Version Compatibility

See the below table on which version of @govtechsg/sgds you should be using in your project.

Installation

@govtechsg/sgds-react is not shipped with any included CSS. Apply @govtechsg/sgds@latest styles by installing the module or using CDN.

@govtechsg/sgds-react uses bootstrap-icons for certain components like Form, but does not ship with it. Install bootstrap-icons or use CDN if you need it. Please refer to bootstrap-icons for usage instructions

npm install @govtechsg/sgds-react

//not required if using CDN
npm install @govtechsg/sgds bootstrap-icons

Importing Components

You should import individual components like: @govtechsg/sgds-react/Button rather than the entire library. Doing so pulls in only the specific components that you use, which can significantly reduce the amount of code you end up sending to the client.

import { Button } from '@govtechsg/sgds-react/Button';

// or less ideally
import { Button } from '@govtechsg/sgds-react';

Stylesheets

Using CSS / SASS

// In your entry point
// import CSS or
import '@govtechsg/sgds/css/sgds.css';
// import SASS
import '@govtechsg/sgds/sass/sgds.scss';

Using CDN

//index.html
<link href='https://designsystem.gov.sg/css/sgds.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>

//index.css
@import url('https://designsystem.gov.sg/css/sgds.css');

Advanced Usage

"as" Prop API

With certain SGDS React components, you may want to modify the component or HTML tag that is rendered.

If you want to keep all the styling of a particular component but switch the component that is finally rendered (whether it's a different SGDS React component, a different custom component, or a different HTML tag), you can use the "as" Prop to do so.
