Components

A library of React components designed for use in Automattic products.

Installation

Install the components and the color schemes they depend on.

yarn add @automattic/components @automattic/calypso-color-schemes

Usage

// import the color variables - you only need to do this once in your entire application
import '@automattic/calypso-color-schemes';

// import the component you wish to use
import { Button } from '@automattic/components';

const CallToAction = () => (
	<>
		<Button primary onClick={ () => alert( 'Thank you for taking action!' ) }>
			Take action now!
		</Button>
	</>
);

Some components require CSS styles from @wordpress/components, which you will need to load in order for them to appear correctly. Within WordPress, add the wp-components stylesheet as a dependency of your plugin's stylesheet. See wp_enqueue_style documentation for how to specify dependencies.

In non-WordPress projects, import the build-style/style.css file directly, located at node_modules/@wordpress/components/build-style/style.css.
