Where to find all news cards etc...?

[vitalijalbu]

I remember that months ago it was able to see on story book all sections & components about articles, cards, , topics and much more. Now they are hidden?

Hi @vitalijalbu 👋

I think this might be the Storybook you are looking for:

https://5dfcbf3012392c0020e7140b-borimwnbdl.chromatic.com

This Storybook is maintained within dotcom-rendering, the frontend rendering framework for theguardian.com.

thanks a lot, se another question: can i use their ui library for my blog? i mean, i will customize components.

We make a conscious effort to work in the open wherever possible, and our repos tend to be publicly viewable. You can therefore clone the repo, or copy-paste the components into your own codebase, and there's nothing stopping you from doing that.

I don't think the team that maintains dotcom-rendering provides any mechanism that would allow you to consume their components directly. It's not really a UI library, it's more like a bunch of components that exist in the context of a frontend application. It isn't published on NPM as far as I'm aware. Also worth noting that it's not an open source project that was designed with wider use in mind. You therefore might find it difficult to get bug fixes or features requests prioritised 🙂

So I would say you can, but with a caveat to say that you may find issues integrating, and we wouldn't necessarily have the resources to help you.

I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more info.

would be worth double-checking you're happy with the terms of the license too https://github.com/guardian/dotcom-rendering/blob/main/LICENSE
