Education Design System

Education Design System (EDS) is a repository of presentational components used to build React-based products for Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Installation

First, install the package.

# using npm
npm install --save @chanzuckerberg/eds

# or using Yarn
yarn add @chanzuckerberg/eds

Setting up EDS in your project

Import the EDS stylesheets somewhere in your app root, e.g. an init.ts or app.ts file:

import '@chanzuckerberg/eds/index.css'; // Includes relevant styles and tokens for EDS
import '@chanzuckerberg/eds/fonts.css'; // Includes font files if using the built in theme fonts

Also, include this in your base / reset styles to allow configuation of the pixel-to-rem ratio:

html {
  font-size: var(--eds-font-size-base); /* Sets the default pixel-to-rem ratio */
}

Theming Setup

For more information and configuration options, read the Theming Overview.

EDS Component Usage

Import any of the components from the top-level package:

// Import components by name at the top of your file
import { Heading } from '@chanzuckerberg/eds';

// ...and then use them in your React components:

<Heading preset="headline-lg">
  Coffee!
</Heading>

EDS provides a suite of components for use, and documentation for available props and overrides.
