CDN

If you prefer to include library globally by marking it as external in your application, library provides various single-file distributions, which can be used as following:

<!-- style -->
<link href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/css/dist/index.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Styling

As this component library is part of a framework-agnostic design system used at censa the styling is done with CSS using CSS variables for theming and BEM methodology for reusable and modular styling. So it requires you to include CSS in your project by either importing or serving it as a static file. The complete stylesheet is published as part of the component library at path censa_front_end_library/css. You can include css by importing it or loading it from cdn.

👉 Using Font

The css sets the font family as 'Inter' for the body. To add this font in your project you need to load this font. The recommended way to do it is by adding the following google font cdn link to your app's head.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

👉 Updating Font:

If you don't add the font described above font family will not be affected by css. However, if you want to update the font family update it via the following css variable.

--font-family

👉 Reset Styles

As BEM is used reset.css is not used and no style reset is done.

👉 Polyfill for IE

For css variables to work on IE we use a polyfill at runtime to achieve dynamic theming through variables. Please add the following polyfill in your page.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/css-vars-ponyfill@2"></script>
<script>
  cssVars({
    onlyLegacy: true,
  });
</script>
