About this project

Cloudscape Design System is an open source design system for building intuitive, engaging, and inclusive user experiences at scale. This repository contains the source code of the React components package, which is published on npm as @cloudscape-design/components, alongside a companion global styles package. The system consists of guidelines for creating web applications, design resources, and front-end components intended to streamline implementation. It was created in 2016 for use by Amazon Web Services products and services, and has been continuously refined based on customer feedback and research. Getting started involves installing the components and global styles packages via npm, then importing individual components such as Button and the global CSS entry point. A basic example renders a primary button. Component APIs and usage guidelines are documented in the Components section of the Cloudscape website, which also offers an in-depth developer getting-started guide. A small example is available on CodeSandbox for experimentation. Support channels include GitHub issues for bug reports and feature requests, and GitHub discussions for questions. The contribution guidelines document covers how to contribute, the project's support model, and its versioning strategy. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0.
