Expose constants (types & enums)

[SanderVanHullebusch]

There are lots of enums and constants that will be very helpfull to be used in our projects where @a-ui is being used.

I tried to import enums/constants/.. from the following folder but this isn't found since it isn't exposed.
https://github.com/a-ui/core_components_react/blob/development/packages/antwerp-ui/react-components/src/constants/layout.settings.ts

Is it possible to expose these so that we can use them? Currently we have to create the same enums just to reference them the same way.

For example; Warning icons need to be name 'alert-triangle'. We can use THEME_ICON_MAP[Theme.DANGER], but since these aren't available we have to duplicate this in our own project.

Hi @SanderVanHullebusch could you provide us with a wireframe (or use case) where you would use these icons in a separate way? We are trying to identify your specific need here.

We have multiple custom components that need icons. Currently we use a prop to set a status (warning, error, neutral, success,..). There are the same as the ones used in @a-ui.
We set the icon as a fixed string depending on the status. These are defined in the constant folder from this package. So instead of setting this icon with a fixed string I want to use the ones declared in the package to keep it consistent.

I want to have a single source of truth. When @a-ui changes I want these changes to be directly in our project as well.

Thanks for the reply! Can you also provide a screenshot of such component (just to verify)? I already made an internal JIRA ticket and added you as the reporter.

We have a variation on the Alert component since this didn't completely suit the design/implementation needed (called InfoMessage).
This is almost the same as the Alert, but more different is a Toast component where we also want to add a status with corresponding icon. I saw that these are included in the package but not exposed so we can't use them directly.

Edit: screenshot of what we want to become:
