Prisma Lens

Prisma Lens is a Design System, Guidelines and Component Library for the family of Prisma projects and products. Both this document and the actual artefacts are a living system that aims to be evolving incrementally and often.

Principles

• Set up for change. The changes to the system should never be dreaded. Small, incremental changes should never be expensive to make. The properties that are built with the system should support this philosophy.
• Highly atomic - The individual components of the system should be as simple and generic as possible - highly composed components limit reusability
• Visually low level - The system should be recognizable at the level of typography and spacing, to make sure we have flexible theming options
• Code as source of truth - it's more likely that there's going to be some sort of syncing happening from github / react elements to Figma than the other way around. What's shipped or in this repository is the system, and also the deliverable. It is on the designers to make tools to support that easier.
