Quick start guide

Add BigDesign and styled-components@5 to your project using npm:

npm install @bigcommerce/big-design styled-components@5

or with pnpm:

pnpm add @bigcommerce/big-design styled-components@5

Add the font as a <link> in your index.html/<head> element.

<head>
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin="" />
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Source+Sans+Pro:wght@200;300;400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

Import the GlobalStyles component and use it once in your app. This will set a few styles globally and add normalize.css. We recommend placing it close to your root component. Then import any component, such as Button, to use it anywhere in your app.

import { Button, GlobalStyles } from '@bigcommerce/big-design';

...

<App>
  <GlobalStyles />
  <Button>Click me</Button>
</App>
