Medicare.gov Design System

npm

>> View the full documentation site here <<

The Medicare.gov Design System contains shared design and front-end development resources for Medicare.gov applications, and is built on top of the CMS Design System (CMSDS). As a child design system, it inherits base styles, components, and guidance from the CMS Design System, while also adding its own features and customizations.

Usage

yarn add @cmsgov/ds-medicare-gov

For full documentation on installation and usage in your Medicare.gov product, please refer to our documentation site.

Contributing

This site-wide design system has a much smaller group of users than the core CMS Design System. It's up to us to make it useful for our apps. It is a place to share code and collaborate across teams. It is our collective source of truth for design. If you want to contribute but need help getting started, shout in the #mgov-design-system Slack channel on the CMS Slack or open up an issue on this repo.

  • yarn start
    • Starts local server running the documentation site
    • Regenerates documentation when files change
  • yarn build
    • Compiles and processes all the code and assets and copies them to the dist directory so that they're ready for distribution and consumption as a package
  • yarn test
    • Runs JS unit tests
  • yarn test:e2e
    • Runs end to end tests
  • yarn update-snapshots

Building on top of the CMS Design System

As a child design system, the Medicare.gov Design System shares the same tooling and organization as the CMSDS. For more information on how to extend and customize SASS, JS, and documentation, check out the child design system example and its documentation.
