The badger-ui
library contains React components and corresponding
styles for rendering various user interface components. It was
written by Andy Wardley and evolved over a number of years as he
developed web site components for various customers.
You are welcome to use it, but be warned that it is not an officially released UI library and it comes with no warranty, no support and no guarantees that it will be maintained in the future. It was released as a public NPM repository simply to make it easier for him to include it in other projects.
See the Storybook for examples of the UI components.

LibraryAdd the badger-ui
library to your project.
NOTE: These examples assume you’re using
pnpm
but the equivalent usingnpm
will also work.
cd your-project
pnpm add @abw/badger-ui
Then you can import badger-ui
components into your React components.
import { Button } from '@abw/badger-ui'
export const ShowButton = () =>
<Button text="Hello World" color="red" solid/>
You will also need to import the badger-ui
CSS file or
build your own custom stylesheet version using SASS.
To use the default CSS styles import the main CSS file into one of the top-level files for you project:
import '@abw/badger-ui/styles/badger-ui.css'
You can customise the styles using SASS.
Create your own stylesheet
and define variables to override the default values (sorry, these
aren’t documented anywhere yet so you’ll need to dig through the
files in src/styles/config
and src/styles/components
to see what
they are). Then import the badger-ui
styles.
// custom configuration variables
$orange: #FF7F00;
$alert-radius: 10px;
$checkbox-padding: 2px 4px;
// import badger-ui styles
@import "@abw/badger-ui/styles/badger-ui.scss";
You should then import this custom stylesheet into your application.
The badger-ui
library uses a number of icons from the Fontawesome collection.
You will almost certainly want to add further icons to this collection, either incorporating addition Fontawesome icons or custom SVG icons. This is made possible by the svg-icon-librarian module. See the README file in the icons directory for further information.
