# Hashicorp Design System

The application integrates setup that make it possible to use the [Hashicorp Design System (HDS)](https://github.com/hashicorp/design-system) in the application. The application also
bundles [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) to follow a utility-based CSS approach that mixes well with HDS utility classes. Tailwind is expected to be used
as a supplement to HDS's utility classes, and should mainly be used for layouting.
## Design Tokens
HDS ships a set of [design tokens](https://design-system-components-hashicorp.vercel.app/foundations/tokens), which are implemented as CSS custom properties.
To make it easy to work with these design tokens without having to work with verbose CSS properties all over the place, we have setup a [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/)-configuration that makes the color tokens
available via functional [utility classes](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors).
### Colors
You can work with any color from the HDS by prefixing colors with the `hds-`-prefix. The `hds-`-prefix makes it easy to see what classes are auto-generated from HDS. When we wanted to color a header tag with the `consul-brand`-color we could do it like this for example:
To make sure we follow HDS-guidelines, we disabled Tailwind's color utilities completely. Instead of relying on Tailwind for colors, you should be working with the colors from HashiCorp-Design-System and follow the [guidance in the docs](https://design-system-components-hashicorp.vercel.app/foundations/colors) on how to use them:
```hbs preview-template
<h2 class="text-hds-consul-brand">
<h2 class='hds-foreground-strong'>
HDS is awesome
</h2>
```
Regular tailwindCss colors aren't available. You can only use colors defined in HDS with this pattern.
Regular TailwindCSS colors aren't available.
```hbs preview-template
<h2 class="text-red-400">
<h2 class='text-red-400'>
TailwindCSS colors won't work
</h2>
```
### Other tokens
### HDS tokens
Other tokens than colors are available via the provided `hds`-[helper-classes](https://design-system-components-hashicorp.vercel.app/foundations/typography) made available via `@hashicorp/design-system-tokens`.
HDS tokens are available via the provided `hds`-[utility-classes](https://design-system-components-hashicorp.vercel.app/foundations/typography) made available via `@hashicorp/design-system-tokens`.
You for example would work with HDS' typography tokens in this way:
```hbs preview-template
<p class="hds-typography-display-400">
<p class='hds-typography-display-400'>
A paragraph styled via HDS.
</p>
```
Because HDS provides utility classes for typography you should not be using Tailwind classes to customize typography.
### Combining HDS and Tailwind
Because we are working with a customized tailwind configuration it is easy to combine HDS design tokens with regular tailwind utility classes:
Tailwind is used as a supplement to what HDS provides. You will be using Tailwind for layouting and other utility functionality that isn't provided by HDS.
```hbs preview-template
<button type="button" class="text-hds-consul-brand underline transform scale-100 transition ease-in-out hover:text-hds-consul-foreground hover:scale-125">
<button type='button' class='underline transform scale-100 transition ease-in-out hover:scale-125'>
Hover me
</button>
```

All components from Hashicorp Design System are available for you to use. Here's an example that shows how to implement a navigation bar with HDS and Tailwind in combination.
