Getting started

To install this library first you have to add it to your dependencies:

yarn add @geoblink/design-system
npm i -P @geoblink/design-system

After that, you must install it in your Vue instance:


 



 



import Vue from 'vue'
import GeoblinkDesignSystem from '@geoblink/design-system'

// ...

Vue.use(GeoblinkDesignSystem)

// ...

Finally you have to import the styles. You can import the built CSS styles or the raw SCSS file (which include the design tokens as variables):

@import '~@geoblink/design-system/dist/system.css';
@import '~@geoblink/design-system/dist/system.utils.scss';

To import only variables, mixins or functions without generated css classes to use on your own SCSS files you can import the tokens SCSS file

@import '~@geoblink/design-system/dist/tokens/system.tokens.scss';

Depending on your bundler settings you can import it in your JavaScript bundle, too:

import '@geoblink/design-system/dist/system.css'
import '@geoblink/design-system/dist/system.utils.scss'

Finally you'll be able use any component from the Design System like they are used in the demos:

Using icons

We use icons from FontAwesome (opens new window) library in some components but we want neither to force a specific version of the package nor to use it at all! So we make this an opt-in behaviour.

To enable icons you have to install @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome (opens new window) package and register font-awesome-icon globally:

yarn add @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core
yarn add @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome
yarn add @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons
npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core
npm i --save @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome
npm i --save @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons

Afterwards in your main JavaScript entrypoint:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { faUserSecret } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons' // Or any icon you want to use
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

library.add(faUserSecret) // Or any icon you want to use

Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon)

// ...

Using free icons

By default we use icons from FontAwesome Pro (opens new window). Even though we encourage you to consider upgrading to pro, it's possible to use Geoblink Design System without using any paid resource.

To do so, you have to run mockFontAwesomeProIcons once in your main JavaScript entrypoint:



 




 



import Vue from 'vue'
import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { mockFontAwesomeProIcons } from '@geoblink/design-system'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon)

mockFontAwesomeProIcons(library)

// ...

Advanced import

It's possible to import only part of the library.

You can import components on a individual basis by importing them directly:






 









<template>
  <geo-primary-button>My button!</geo-primary-button>
</template>

<script>
import GeoPrimaryButton from '@geoblink/design-system/dist/components/GeoPrimaryButton'

export default {
  name: 'My component',
  components: {
    GeoPrimaryButton
  }
}
</script>

Styles can be imported individually, too:


 


<style>
import '~@geoblink/design-system/dist/styles/geo-primary-button'
</style>

And you can also import them in your component's JavaScript code:







 









<template>
  <geo-primary-button>My button!</geo-primary-button>
</template>

<script>
import GeoPrimaryButton from '@geoblink/design-system/dist/components/GeoPrimaryButton'
import '@geoblink/design-system/dist/styles/geo-primary-button'

export default {
  name: 'My component',
  components: {
    GeoPrimaryButton
  }
}
</script>
