Workday Canvas Kit

This project provides a set of components for the Workday Canvas Design System that can be used to implement user experiences consistent with Workday's design principles.

Getting Started

React

Dependency Version Support

The following are supported versions of dependencies.

React: >=16.8 < 17
Typescript: >=5.0 (optional)
Emotion: ^11.7.0

Installation

To get started using Canvas kit React first add or install the module to your existing React project

yarn add @workday/canvas-kit-react @workday/canvas-tokens-web

or

npm install @workday/canvas-kit-react @workday/canvas-tokens-web

Note: If your application does not already provide Roboto as a font, you can install @workday/canvas-kit-react-fonts. The example below shows how to inject the fonts, but you can omit this if you're already loading fonts.

Usage

To ensure fonts are loaded correctly, update your root index.js file.

import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {injectGlobal} from '@emotion/css';
import {fonts} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-fonts';
import {system} from '@workday/canvas-tokens-web';
import {cssVar} from '@workday/canvas-kit-styling';

import '@workday/canvas-tokens-web/css/base/_variables.css';
import '@workday/canvas-tokens-web/css/brand/_variables.css';
import '@workday/canvas-tokens-web/css/component/_variables.css';
import '@workday/canvas-tokens-web/css/system/_variables.css';


import {App} from './App';

injectGlobal({
  ...fonts,
  'html, body': {
    fontFamily: cssVar(system.fontFamily.default),
    margin: 0,
    minHeight: '100vh',
  },
  '#root, #root < div': {
    minHeight: '100vh',
    ...system.type.body.sm,
  },
});

const container = document.getElementById('root')!;
const root = createRoot(container);
root.render(<App />);

The in your App.js you can set a global theme.

import {CanvasProvider} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react/common';

export const App = () => {
  return (
    <CanvasProvider>
      <>
        <main>
          <p>Get Started With Canvas Kit</p>
        </main>
      </>
    </CanvasProvider>
  );
};

Note: Don't use the CanvasProvider to theme, instead use our CSS tokens from @workday/canvas-tokens-web. For more information, view our Token docs. Theming should be global.

Open Development

All work on the Canvas Kit happens directly on GitHub. Both core team members and external contributors can send pull requests which go through the same review process. Any and all issues are public and available for discussion.

Versioning

Canvas Kit follows semantic versioning and is enforced automatically by conventional commits (see "Commit Message Format").

Each module is independently versioned using Lerna.

Version Support

At any given time, we support three major versions of Canvas Kit: previous, current, and next. Each of these has different levels of support.

The previous major version is stable for production and will receive patch updates as needed, but there will be no new features added. Patch releases are automatically deployed upon merge by GitHub Actions.

The current major version is also stable and receives new features and patch updates. Patch releases are automatically deployed upon merge by GitHub Actions, and minor releases are manually deployed at the end of each sprint.

The next major version is typically an unstable environment and has major breaking changes. You are welcome to pull this version down for local development and experimentation, but we generally recommend against using it in production until the first stable version has been released.
