Repository Structure

This repository uses workspaces to manage design system packages as a monorepo.

• @wwnds/core is an implementation of the design system's styles and foundations. It contains modular Sass declarations, mixins, functions, and design tokens (variables). It is the source of truth for the theming system and default styles.
• @wwnds/react is a React component library implementation of the design system. It has no styling and is designed to work well with @wwnds/core.
• website (https://wwnorton.github.io/design-system) contains the actual design system. It depends on both @wwnds/core and @wwnds/react and uses Docusaurus as its static site generator.

Any and all contributions are welcome from anyone who would like to help. To learn more about contributing, please read the contribution guide.
