📚 Helsinki Design System documentation

A design system is a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications. - Design Systems Handbook

Helsinki Design System is an open-souce design system built by the City of Helsinki. It consists of tools for development and design as well as resources and guidelines for creating user-friendly, accessible solutions for the city.

Are you a developer? If yes, you'll probably want to first check out the components in hds-react and hds-core.

Helsinki Design System uses Lerna for running scripts across the repo as well as versioning and creating releases of the packages. Yarn workspaces is used to manage dependencies. This allows the separate packages to reference each other via symlinks during local development.

To ensure code quality in the repo, every package will have their pre-commit and pre-push scripts run automatically before git commit and push (added with Husky).

The initial version of the Helsinki Design System is under development. We will accept new features, feature requests and help with improving the documentation in the future.
