Clarity is an open source design system by VMware providing UX guidelines, design resources, and accessible UI components built with web components that work with any JavaScript framework. This original repository is archived; the project has moved to separate Clarity Core and Clarity Angular repositories.
Use cases
- build accessible enterprise web UIs with web components
- use a design system across Angular and React apps
- find prebuilt accessible UI components
- apply consistent UX guidelines and theming to a web app
- use an open source sans-serif typeface (Clarity City)
When to choose
- you want framework-agnostic web component UI components with strong accessibility
- you are building enterprise applications needing a cohesive design system
- you want an MIT-licensed alternative to proprietary design systems
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or new features - this repo is archived
- you want the latest Clarity releases - use vmware-clarity/core or vmware-clarity/ng-clarity instead
- you need a design system tightly coupled to a specific framework other than via web components
