Author React Design System

React Design System library for use with the Author v2 project.

The Blaise Design System React Component Library has been phased out of the Author Design System React Component Library and will no longer be available.

Setup

To use this library as a dependency within a project, run:

``
yarn add https://github.com/ONSdigital/eq-author-design-system-react#main
`

Specifying #main installs the most recently released version of the Author React Design System's main branch.

To install a specific release version of the Author React Design System in a project, replace #main with # in the above command.

---

Before using components from this library, add the following code within the tags of your React project's public/index.html file:

`
href="https://cdn.ons.gov.uk/sdc/design-system/69.0.0/css/main.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
`

The above code implements the ONS Design System's global CSS style rules into your project - if this code is not included, style rules will not be applied to this library's components within your project.

Testing changes

Several new scripts are available to use when running tests:

yarn test: jest --watchAll

> This is a standard command to run your test suites.

yarn test:watch

> "jest --watch" Watch mode continuously monitors for changes in your project files and re-runs the tests whenever a change is detected.

yarn test:coverage

> "jest --collectCoverage --coverageDirectory=\"./coverage\"" - When you run this script (yarn test:coverage), it executes Jest and collects code coverage information.test:coverage), it executes Jest and collects code coverage information.

yarn test:verbose

> "jest --verbose" - The --verbose flag makes Jest output more detailed information during the test run, providing additional insights into the test execution process.

Usage of new scripts:

- All tests: yarn test
- Specific test: yarn test , eg yarn test src/Utils/StringUtils.test.tsx
