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.

• 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.

• ESLint
• markdownlint
• MDX
• Prettier - Code formatter
• stylelint

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

4. Run pnpm run storybook to start Storybook
5. Your main browser opens automatically with your local 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

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.
