Clarity Design System

Project Clarity is an open source design system that brings together UX guidelines, an HTML/CSS framework, and Angular 2 components. This repository includes everything you need to build, customize, test, and deploy Clarity. For complete documentation, visit the Clarity website.

Getting Started

Clarity is published as three npm packages:

• clarity-icons. Contains the custom element icons.
• clarity-ui. Contains the static styles for building HTML components.
• clarity-angular. Contains the Angular 2 components. This package depends on clarity-ui for styles.

The easiest way to run a sample Angular 2 application with Clarity is to use the Clarity Seed.

If you already have an Angular 2 application, you can follow the installation steps below to include and use Clarity in your application.

Installing Clarity Icons

1. Install Clarity Icons package through npm:

   npm install clarity-icons --save
   

2. Install the polyfill for Custom Elements:

   npm install github:webcomponents/custom-elements.git#v1.0.0-alpha.3 --save
   

3. (Optional) If your application supports IE10, the polyfill will require the MutationObserver shim to work. If your application doesn't support IE10, you can skip the following installation:

   npm install mutationobserver-shim@0.3.2 --save
   

4. Include the clarity-icons.min.css and clarity-icons.min.js in your HTML. As custom-elements.min.js is dependent on the Custom Elements polyfill, make sure to include it before clarity-icons.min.js. Also, if your app needs to support IE10, include the mutationobserver.min.js before the polyfill:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.css">
   
   <script src="path/to/node_modules/mutationobserver-shim/dist/mutationobserver.min.js"></script>
   <script src="path/to/node_modules/@webcomponents/custom-elements/custom-elements.min.js"></script>
   <script src="path/to/node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.js"></script>
   

   If your site is built with angular-cli you can achieve the above by adding the files to the styles array and scripts array in angular-cli.json:

   "styles": [
       ...
       "../node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.css",
       ...
   ],
   "scripts": [
       ...
       "../node_modules/mutationobserver-shim/dist/mutationobserver.min.js",
       "../node_modules/@webcomponents/custom-elements/custom-elements.min.js",
       "../node_modules/clarity-icons/clarity-icons.min.js"
       ...
   ]
   

Installing Clarity UI

1. Install Clarity UI package through npm:

   npm install clarity-ui --save
   

2. Include the clarity-ui.min.css in your HTML file:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/node_modules/clarity-ui/clarity-ui.min.css">
   

   If your site is built with angular-cli, you can achieve the above by adding the file to the styles array in angular-cli.json:

   "styles": [
       ...
       "../node_modules/clarity-ui/clarity-ui.min.css"
       ...
   ]
   

3. Write your HTML with the Clarity CSS class names and markup.

Installing Clarity Angular

1. Follow steps above to install Clarity Icons and Clarity UI.

2. Install the clarity-angular package through npm:

   npm install clarity-angular --save
   

3. Import the ClarityModule into your Angular 2 application's module. Your application's main module might look like this:

   import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { ClarityModule } from 'clarity-angular';
   import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
   
   @NgModule({
       imports: [
           BrowserModule,
           ClarityModule,
           ....
        ],
        declarations: [ AppComponent ],
        bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
   })
   export class AppModule {    }
