Shade

Ghost Design System that can be used by micro-frontends.

Usage

Shade is consumed internally across Ghost apps. The package is currently private; when published, consumption will follow standard npm usage.

Example:

import {Button} from '@tryghost/shade/components';

export function Example() {
    return <Button>Continue</Button>;
}

CSS-first styling contract:

/* app entry CSS */
@import "@tryghost/shade/styles.css";

No Tailwind preset/config import is required for Shade runtime styling.

Scoping and dark mode:

• All styles are scoped under a .shade container.
• Dark mode is toggled by adding .dark within that scope.

Wrap your surface with ShadeApp (includes provider and scoping):

import {ShadeApp} from '@tryghost/shade/app';

<ShadeApp darkMode={false}>
    {/* your UI */}
</ShadeApp>

Develop

This is a monorepo package.

Follow the instructions for the top-level repo.

1. git clone this repo & cd into it as usual
2. Run pnpm to install top-level dependencies.

Local docs with Storybook:

• pnpm storybook — run Storybook and view docs under src/docs/
• pnpm build-storybook — build a static export

Test

• pnpm test — type-checks and runs Vitest with coverage
• pnpm test:unit — type-checks and runs Vitest
• pnpm test:types — TypeScript only
• pnpm lint — ESLint for src/ and test/

Notes

• Utilities live at @/lib/utils (not @/utils). Use cn(...) to merge class names and prefer CVA for variants.
• Docs live alongside the code and are rendered via Storybook (src/docs/*).
