To install Carbon for IBM Security in your project, you'll need to run one of the following commands using a package manager:
# npm - https://www.npmjs.com
npm i -S @carbon/ibm-security
# Yarn - https://yarnpkg.com
yarn add @carbon/ibm-securityPlease use distribution tags to install the most relevant version of this framework. e.g. npm i -S @carbon/ibm-security@latest:
@latest- Stable@canary- Prerelease@next- Alpha
All components come with any installation of Carbon for IBM Security. You can use them by doing the following in your project:
// ES Modules - https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-modules
import { ComponentName } from '@carbon/ibm-security';
// CommonJS - http://www.commonjs.org
const { ComponentName } = require('@carbon/ibm-security');Babel builds both of these variants and imports carbon-components-react in the respective version using a plugin, so that no further transpilation is required.
To add a component style to your build, import the component directly. Importing a component this way will bring in any dependencies that component has as well. The import system removes duplicate dependencies, so shared dependencies between components will not create extra CSS.
@import '@carbon/ibm-security/scss/components/ComponentName/index';To add all of the components' styles, import the entry point:
@import '@carbon/ibm-security/scss/index';To add all of the components' processed and minified styles, reference @carbon/ibm-security/css/index.min.css.
