DHIS2 UI

@dhis2/ui is a suite of frontend components for building DHIS 2 applications

To install @dhis2/ui run:

yarn install @dhis2/ui

All components can be imported directly from @dhis2/ui like so:

import { Button } from '@dhis2/ui'

We recommend that you use @dhis2/ui as the entrypoint for all imports of our frontend components (as in the example above). That way your imports won't break if any of the underlying packages change.

Documentation

@dhis2/ui is based on the specifications in our design-system: https://github.com/dhis2/design-system. See the documentation there for more information.

• Live demo: ui.dhis2.nu/demo

@dhis2/ui-constants

This package provides access to shared constants, such as colors, spacers and elevation values. They are used across our frontend components and can be used directly in applications as well. Our constants can be imported like so:

import { colors } from '@dhis2/ui'

See our api docs for a full list of the available constants.

@dhis2/ui-icons

This package provides a collection of icons as react components. For tree shaking purposes the icon name, variant and size are all expressed in the component name. Our icons can be imported like so:

import { IconApps16 } from '@dhis2/ui'

For a list of all the available icons see the ui-icons package. Note that during their transformation to React components the svg filenames are PascalCased and prefixed with Icon. So apps-16.svg becomes IconApps16 and can then be imported as in the example above.

The default fill of our icons is inherited from color with currentColor. To set a custom icon color you can use the color prop like so:

<IconApps16 color="#DE683D" />

@dhis2/ui-forms

This package provides several components that allow for easy integration of our form components with react-final-form. Besides form components, we also export several validator functions for common usecases. Components from this library can be imported like so:

import { TextAreaFieldFF } from '@dhis2/ui'

The FF suffix ensures that these components don't clash with our regular field components from the widgets package and is an abbreviation of final-form. See our api docs or the live docs for a full list of the available components and validators.
