Genesys Spark Monorepo

Spark Web Components

This repo contains the custom elements that make up the bulk of the
Spark design system. Developers should prefer using
the genesys-spark package and avoid importing
this package directly unless there is a specific reason to do so.

Component Evolution

At any given time there are three types of components present in the library:

- stable: Most components fall into this category, and there will be no breaking api changes outside of a major release.
- beta: New components where the API design is still being explored. Breaking changes _may_ happen without a major version change.
- legacy: Old components that have been replaced by a new component, or a newer version of the component with an incompatible API. These will be removed in the next major release.

For more details on the component evolution process see the full documentation on the topic

Demo/Documentation

You can find usage examples of all of the components, with an in-browser editor playground
online here.

Installing the library

$3

npm install genesys-spark-components

or

yarn add genesys-spark-components

Setting up your App

$3

Spark is designed to work with the Urbanist and Noto Sans fonts. These components
do not provide font loading, so you must include them separately in your project.
For a detailed breakdown of the variants of each font in use, see the typography
section of the Spark Design Docs.

$3

The library requires the inclusion of a baseline set of CSS styles that it provides in the package under dist/genesys-webcomponents/genesys-webcomponents.css in apps that use the webcomponents. The stylesheet provides:

- Baseline styles for browser elements
- Classes for specific typography patterns
- CSS variables for colors
- CSS variables for spacing
- CSS variables for z-index of "floating" non-flow content like menus, tooltips, popovers, or modals

The best mechanism for importing the stylesheet into your project will depend on how you handle CSS in your project in general. Reach out to the Common UI Development group if you're having trouble with your specific integration.

Note: Since v3 this baseline stylesheet is required.

$3

Genesys Cloud applications, or other always-online apps should import the library and call
registerElements early during application bootstrap to register the components with the browser.

``javascript
import { registerElements } from 'genesys-spark-components';
registerElements();
`

This will register the custom elements and automatically configure stencil to load icons and
internationalization files from our CDN. You shouldn't need to bundle any additional assets
into your application.

$3

You will need to set a lang attribute on the a component or one of its ancestor elements to trigger localization.
Normally, you should set it on the page somewhere at a high level, e.g. or
and the components will localize based on that. If no language is set, the components default to English.

Development and Contribution

The common component library has a small set of developers, who also work on other projects, so
contribution from users is welcome. If you need a new feature, the best way to get it is to work
with the team to implement it yourself. Please reach out to discuss your work _before_ opening a PR.
An early conversation is the best way to avoid duplicated effort.

Also, be sure to read the Contributing Guidelines before starting development work.

#### Migrating to V4

Visit the V4 migration guide for details on the new v4 release and migration details.

$3

Once you've checked out the project, install the local dependencies and start the dev server.

`sh
npm install
`

`sh
npm run dev
`

then navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to see the docs

If you want the docs to be accessible externally you can use

`sh
npm run dev.public
`

this will host the docs on http://0.0.0.0:8080/.
This means they are available elsewhere on your network at http:/:8080/.

$3

`sh
npm run test
`

or

`sh
npm run test.watch
`

$3

Add an example.html` file to your component's implementation directory with some examples.

Notes for external users
