solid-base-components

This is a collection of barely styled components on which you can build your own design system. It tries to use more consistent patterns for all input elements to make development easier.

Commonly used non-native elements are also implemented, such as popovers with arrow, and more to come.

Installation

npm install solid-base-components

Usage

import { render } from 'solid-js/dom'
import { Box, Input, InputFile, Select, Popover, Checkbox, Radio } from 'solid-base-components';
// Minimally required layout styles
import 'solid-base-components/dist/build.css'

const App = () =>
  <Box vertical>
    <Input onChange={text => console.log(text)} />
    <InputFile onChange={files => console.log(files)}>Add File</InputFile>
    <Box horizontal>
      <Select
        options={options}
        value={1}
        onChange={console.log}
      />
      <Popover
        arrow
        closeOnClick
        trigger={({ ref, open }) =>
          <Button ref={ref} onClick={toggle}}>
            Click Me
          </Button>
        }
      >
        <div>Content</div>
      </Popover>
    </Box>
    <Box horizontal>
      <Checkbox onChange={isChecked => console.log(isChecked)}>
        Check Me
      </Checkbox>
      <Radio.Group
        name='number'
        options={options}
        value={1}
        onChange={console.log}
      />
    </Box>
  </Box>

render(() => App, document.getElementById('app'))

Styling

You are expected to provide your own styles for components. They follow a strict BEM convention.

For example, to add button styles:

<Button size='small' variant='primary'>
  Click Me
</Button>

/* This would be your own CSS */
.Button {
  border: 2px solid black;
}
.Button--small {
  height: 20px;
}
.Button--primary {
  color: white;
  background-color: blue;
}

See the styling documentation for more details.

Icons

Icons use octicons for now. You can use them directly or on input/buttons:

<Icon name='gear' />
<Input icon='search' iconAfter='sync' />
<Button icon='search' iconAfter='sync'>Click Me</Button>

<Icon /> also takes props info, success, warning or danger for colors.

Conventions

User-input elements try to follow these conventions:

• If props.value didn't change, keep the value in sync with the DOM, to bring the behavior closer to React.
• Have a loading: boolean property that sets the element to disabled and displays a spinning loading icon.
• Choice picking components (Select, Radio.Group, Dropdown) take an options: Option[] property, where Option is { value: string|number|null, label: JSX.Element }.
• Have an onChange(value: any, ev: Event) handler, where the first argument is the new value. If it's a choice-picking component, the Option is passed as a third argument.
