View Source Doggo

Collection of unstyled Phoenix components with semantic CSS classes.
Installation
The package can be installed by adding doggo
to your list of dependencies in
mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:doggo, "~> 0.1.2"}
]
end
Gettext
To allow Doggo to translate certain strings such as form field errors with
Gettext, set your Gettext module in config/config.exs
:
config :doggo, gettext: MyApp.Gettext
Storybook
The library is equipped with story modules for Phoenix Storybook. After you followed the installation instructions of Phoenix Storybook, you can configure a storybook module for Doggo in your application as follows:
defmodule MyAppWeb.Storybook.Doggo do
use PhoenixStorybook,
otp_app: :my_app_web,
content_path: Path.join(:code.priv_dir(:doggo), "/storybook"),
title: "Doggo Storybook",
css_path: "/assets/storybook.css",
js_path: "/assets/storybook.js",
sandbox_class: "my-app-web"
end
The important option here is content_path
, which points to the storybook
directory in the priv
folder of Doggo. Adjust the rest of the option to the
needs of your application.
In your router, add the Doggo storybook as a second storybook and change the path of your application storybook to avoid path conflicts.
scope "/", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through :browser
live_storybook("/storybook/app", backend_module: MyAppWeb.Storybook)
live_storybook("/storybook/doggo",
backend_module: MyAppWeb.Storybook.Doggo,
session_name: :live_storybook_doggo,
pipeline: false
)
end
Design decisions
- Favor semantic HTML elements over CSS classes for structure and clarity.
- Adhere to accessibility guidelines with appropriate ARIA attributes and roles.
- Utilize semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for style bindings to states, rather than relying on CSS classes.
- Where state or variations can not be expressed semantically, use modifier
classes named
.is-*
or.has-*
. - Provide a base CSS class for each component to support unstyled or alternatively styled variations of the same HTML elements.
- The library is designed without default styles and does not prefer any particular CSS framework.
Status
The library is actively developed. Being in its early stages, the library may still undergo significant changes, potentially leading to breaking changes.
