export default <Button variant="primary">Button</Button>;

All css related to each component is provided within it. There is no component level CSS to import.

Contributing Components

This library makes use of the babel plugin from @patternfly/react-styles to enable providing the CSS alongside the components. This removes the need for consumers to use (style|css|sass)-loaders. For an example of using CSS from core you can reference Button.js. For any CSS not provided by core please use the StyleSheet.create utility from @patternfly/react-styles. This will prevent collisions with any consumers, and allow the CSS to be bundled with the component.

Building

yarn build

Note the build scripts for this are located in the root package.json under yarn build.

Testing

Testing is done at the root of this repo. To only run the patternfly-react tests:
