Trussworks Component Library

The Trussworks component library is a set of standard components from React libraries and the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS).

Why we chose this

Trussworks component library adheres to USWDS standards. This ensures RADFish applications meet federal standards for accessibility and design. It also aligns with NOAA’s branding guidelines and 508 compliance requirements.

Trade-offs

Using a specific component library might restrict design flexibility. However, using a single component library provides consistency. Trussworks also meets compliance standards, which is invaluable for government projects.

Alternatives

Material-UI and Ant Design offer extensive component libraries with customizable themes. These provides broader design options. However, Trussworks' specific focus on USWDS compliance and its integration with React makes it a better fit for RADFish.
