shared react components for our websites

These are a set of modular but opinionated react components. They assume and make extensive use of theme-ui and next, and are meant to be composed with our theme. The main use cases are to encourage consistency throughout our design and streamline building our own websites by reducing boilerplate. However, over time we might expand them to enable easier embedding of our content into other websites.

See them demoed at carbonplan.org/design.

usage

Initializing the Theme Provider

When working with some of the components, it is important to have a theme object in place. Therefore, to ensure smooth functioning of the components, you must initialize the theme provider in your Next.js project. Here's an example of how you can achieve this in pages/_app.js:

import{ThemeProvider}from'theme-ui'// import your theme or define it hereconsttheme={}exportdefaultfunctionApp({ Component, pageProps }){return(<ThemeProvidertheme={theme}><Component{...pageProps}/></ThemeProvider>)}

Using the components

To use, import the component(s) you want into your next project. Here are some examples.

Use our logo and monogram:

import{Logo,Monogram}from'@carbonplan/components'

Use our icons:

import{Icons}from'@carbonplan/components'const{ Check, Question, Info }=Icons

Render a simple layout without a footer

import{Layout,Logo,Monogram}from'@carbonplan/components'constIndex=()=>{return(<Layoutfooter={false}><Logosx={{width: 180}}/><Monogramsx={{width: 60}}/></Layout>)}exportdefaultIndex

For more usage examples checkout our design sample which showcases all these components live.
