The EDS is the official design system of Equinor and is to be used when designing, prototyping and developing internal digital interfaces. The EDS provides structure, guidance and tools that enable designers and developers to efficiently build consistent, inclusive and flexible solutions.
While the design system itself lives in Figma, this repository contains implementations of the EDS in code.

Would you like to contribute? Awesome! 👏
We use a fork and pull-request workflow, so start with forking the repository on Github, then either open it in Gitpod or clone your fork locally.
Checkout Github docs on how to work with forks
Use Gitpod and develop in the browser
Just prepend the url to your fork with https://gitpod.io/#, so for example https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/yourusername/design-system. Dependencies will be installed automatically, then tests and linting will run, and finally the storybook will open in it’s own preview window ready to start coding.
$ git clone git@github.com:your-github-username/design-system
We use pnpm as the package manager, because it’s fast, space efficient, and has some very useful commands when working with a monorepo – so you should start off by installing it globally.
$ npm install -g pnpm
Currently the project only runs on up to Node.js v16.15
Install dependencies & build using our init script:
$ cd design-system
$ pnpm run init
We use storybook as a development environment.
Start storybook on localhost:9000 by running the following command from root:
$ pnpm run storybook
Run tests once or by watching
$ pnpm run test:core-react
$ pnpm run test:watch:core-react
The EDS in Figma is the single source of truth. You can apply for access to Figma in AccessIT. The EDS Core team has workshops and demos on using Figma from time to time, these are announced in Slack and Teams (see «Get in touch»)
The storefront is the official documentation for the EDS.
This is the main implementation of the EDS, and will eventually contain accessible React components of each and every EDS component in Figma.
npm install @equinor/eds-core-react styled-componentsIf you use Typescript, make sure you have typescript >= 3.8 as a devDependency:
npm install typescript --save-devimport { Button } from '@equinor/eds-core-react'
<Button variant="outlined" color="secondary">
Click me!
</Button>See our storybook for more examples.
Built on a copy of the Outlined Material Design icons, the icons have been customised and renamed for Equinor’s use and supplemented with our own icons for Equinor specific domains.
All the icons are available in our Storybook, and can also be installed from NPM.
The following example uses the <Icon> component from @equinor/eds-core-react – but the icons package can also be used without React.
npm install @equinor/eds-icons @equinor/eds-core-reactIf you use Typescript, make sure you have typescript >= 3.8 as a devDependency:
npm install typescript --save-devimport { Icon } from '@equinor/eds-core-react'
import { info_circle } from '@equinor/eds-icons'
<Icon data={info_circle} size={24} />Design tokens are design decisions from Figma extracted into code, and form the basis for the EDS Core React library. For projects that don’t use React, the tokens are available as an independent NPM package that can be used to build your own implementation of the EDS in your technology of choice. The following example uses vanilla javascript.
npm install @equinor/eds-tokensIf you use Typescript, make sure you have typescript >= 3.8 as a devDependency:
npm install typescript --save-devimport { tokens } from '@equinor/eds-tokens'
const {
typography: {
heading: { h1 },
},
} = tokens
const header = document.createElement('h1')
Object.keys(h1).forEach((token) => {
header.style[token] = h1[token]
})
header.textContent = 'Some header'
document.body.appendChild(header)The Equinor typeface is available from the EDS CDN.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.eds.equinor.com/font/equinor-font.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.eds.equinor.com/font/equinor-regular.css" />We currently don’t support the font-display property, so if that’s something you need then please let us know.
When it comes to the Equinor logo, we have two versions – primary and horizontal – and you pick the colour with a fragment identifier in the url. The following example uses the primary logo in red, other colour options are white and black – with black being the default if you omit the fragment identifier.
<img src="https://cdn.eds.equinor.com/logo/equinor-logo-primary.svg#red" alt="Equinor" />We support the most up to date version of evergreen browsers (browsers that auto-update), which means Chrome, Safari, Firefox and (Chromium) Edge.
Contributions are welcome and encouraged! File bug reports and feature requests in Github issues, and get in touch with us if you want to help us out with implementing the components or have ideas for components we should include in the EDS.
We use #eds-design-system on Slack as our main communication channel – but we have an internal team on Teams as well that you can join if you want to get in touch with us. If you’re outside Equinor and want to get in touch with the team, then please create an issue.
