Polaris React
Polaris React is a component library designed to help developers create the best experience for merchants who use Shopify. Visit the Polaris style guide to learn more.
Using the React components
While we do offer a CSS-only version, we strongly recommend using the React versions of our components. It’s the version that we use at Shopify. It allows for rich, complex components like Tabs and Popovers, and will not have as many breaking changes as the CSS-only version.
Installation
Run the following command using npm:
npm install @shopify/polaris --save
If you prefer Yarn, use the following command instead:
yarn add @shopify/polaris
Usage
- Import the CSS directly into your project if your asset packager supports it:
import '@shopify/polaris/build/esm/styles.css';
Otherwise include the CSS in your HTML. We suggest copying the styles file into your own project, but you may also use it directly:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://unpkg.com/@shopify/[email protected]/build/esm/styles.css"
/>
- Include the translations and any of the provided components in your project:
import enTranslations from '@shopify/polaris/locales/en.json';
import {AppProvider, Page, Card, Button} from '@shopify/polaris';
- Tell React to render the element in the DOM:
ReactDOM.render(
<AppProvider i18n={enTranslations}>
<Page title="Example app">
<Card sectioned>
<Button onClick={() => alert('Button clicked!')}>Example button</Button>
</Card>
</Page>
</AppProvider>,
document.querySelector('#app'),
);
Using the CSS components
If React doesn’t make sense for your application, you can use a CSS-only version of our components. This includes all the styles you need for every component in the library, but you’ll be responsible for writing the correct markup and updating classes and DOM attributes in response to user events.
Usage
- Include the CSS in your HTML. We suggest copying the styles file into your own project, but you may also use it directly:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://unpkg.com/@shopify/[email protected]/build/esm/styles.css"
/>
- Include the markup and associated classes in your HTML document:
<button class="Polaris-Button">Example button</button>
Development
We use Storybook to create a simple, hot-reloading playground for development on these components. You can edit the playground/Playground.tsx
file to import the components you are working on, and run yarn dev
in order to start the development server. Please do not commit your work on the playground so that it remains pristine for other developers to work on.
Testing on mobile or a virtual machine
To test the changes on a mobile or virtual machine, you will need to open the source of the iFrame, to do this:
- Run
yarn dev
- Make sure your virtual machine and mobile device are on the same network
- Open http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:ASSIGNED_PORT/iframe.html?path=/story/playground-playground--playground in your mobile device or virtual machine
Testing in a consuming project
The /snapit
GitHub comment command in pull requests will publish a snapshot NPM package for testing. Read the release documentation for more information.
Manual visual regression testing
To start a server for manually viewing the visual regression testing examples, run yarn run dev
.
Learning resources
If you’re new to React, we recommend you start with the official React Getting Started documentation. As you read through the topics we suggest you follow along using their React Hello World CodePen example.
Additional resources:
- Online training courses at reacttraining.com, buildwithreact.com, and reactforbeginners.com.
- The community resources in Awesome React.
- As questions and find answers in the various React support communities.
Methodology
We set out to make our components easy to use. Each of our components has a well-documented (and fully typed) public interface with strong, consistently-applied conventions. This way, developers don’t need to worry about the underlying implementation. Instead, they can focus on creating amazing merchant experiences.
We ensure that our components are made for everyone. They meet accessibility standards and are responsive to any screen or device. We also put a lot of effort into optimizing the performance of the components, so everyone can build inclusive experiences that work.
We make our components flexible enough to meet diverse needs. They present the information you pass in and give you smart callbacks when something has changed, but they don’t enforce any structure beyond that. No matter what type of experience you’re creating, you can use components as the building blocks of your product or feature.
