Primer React

Primer React is a React implementation of GitHub's Primer Design System 🎉

Principles

• Everything is a component.
• Aim for total style encapsulation; don't rely on inheritance to provide default styles.
• Build small building blocks with minimal props to keep complexity low.
• Keep system constrained by only including props needed per component.
• Favor wrapping or extending components for more complex operations.
• Maintain design system consistency with utilities as props (for spacing, color, font-size, line-height, widths, and radii).
