This package includes a library of generic WordPress components to be used for creating common UI elements shared between screens and features of the WordPress dashboard.

Install the module

npm install @wordpress/components --save

This package assumes that your code will run in an ES2015+ environment. If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for such language features and APIs, you should include the polyfill shipped in @wordpress/babel-preset-default in your code.

Within Gutenberg, these components can be accessed by importing from the components root directory:

/**
 * WordPress dependencies
 */
import { Button } from '@wordpress/components';

export default function MyButton() {
	return <Button>Click Me!</Button>;
}

Many components include CSS to add style, you will need to add in order to appear correctly. Within WordPress, add the wp-components stylesheet as a dependency of your plugin's stylesheet. See wp_enqueue_style documentation for how to specify dependencies.

In non-WordPress projects, link to the build-style/style.css file directly, it is located at node_modules/@wordpress/components/build-style/style.css.

You can browse the components docs and examples at https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributing guidelines for the @wordpress/components package.
