Paragon is a React-based component library for front-end development. Paragon's goal is to create a basic toolkit which can help both experienced and new developers to quickly bootstrap applications, build production web-applications, and more.

Paragon is currently under development but is ready to alpha test! At the time of writing, there is a small handful of components available to use. Please use at your own risk, while these components should work, there could be limited functionality or bugs present.

See https://paragonjs.com for documentation and other details.

To install Paragon, please use the following command in the root directory of any React application.

yarn add @paragonjs/core

or

npm install @paragonjs/core

In the entry point of your project (index.js, index.ts) import styling:

import "@paragonjs/core/dist/src/main.css";

Paragon is simple to use; just important a component and render it. Paragon's components come preloaded with many props which increase their usability and utility also helping you style your application quickly.

import { Card, AsyncButton } from  "@paragonjs/core";

export  default  function  Example() {
    return  (
        <Card>
            <AsyncButton  color="lavander">Click me!</AsyncButton>
        </Card>
    );
}

import  { Card, AsyncButton }  from  "@paragonjs/core";

const  TypescriptExample: React.FC<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>> = (props: AsyncButtonProps): JSX.Element => {
    return (
        <Card>
            <AsyncButton color="berry">Click me</AsyncButton>
        </Card>
    );
};

export  default TypescriptExample;

To help develop, clone this repository.

1. In Paragon repository: yarn link

2. In another React repository where you can render and test components:

yarn link "@paragonjs/core"

3. Begin importing components into the project, you can rebuild the Paragon repository using

yarn build in the Paragon repository; This will update all projects which are linked using npm

and yarn with the new build.
