Vue Design System Docs

Vue Design System is an open source tool for building UI Design Systems with Vue.js. It provides you and your team a set of organized tools, patterns & practices which work as the foundation for your application development.

The tool is built on top of Vue.js, Vue Styleguidist, Vue Webpack Template & Theo and is aimed for designers and front-end developers who have at least basic knowledge of component based workflows + HTML, SCSS & JavaScript.

Made by @viljamis and other contributors. See also the official website of Vue Design System and read my article on the processes and workflow I use to get started with a new design system project.

Features

• A set of interconnected patterns & practices for you and your team with comprehensive documentation.
• A well thought-out terminology, naming conventions, and hierarchy for the whole design system to save time.
• Get an automated overview of how your design system progresses over time and what’s still left to do.
• Global design tokens in YAML format that you can use inside any component. In both CSS and JavaScript.
• Automatic generation of living, user editable documentation using custom version of Vue Styleguidist.
• Easily export and use your Design System as an NPM dependency in another Vue.js project (or anywhere really).
• Create a token, an element, or a pattern, and it’s immediately available across all your Vue.js components.
• Pre-configured Prettier setup for auto-formatting code on both save and before committing changes to Git.
• Live Reloading, Autoprefixing, SCSS, and helper functions + simple and sane defaults for SVG and Webfont usage out-of-the-box.
• Documentation and the app logic are separated, so you can have public docs while the app itself is private.
• And more…
