Design systems are the building blocks of your app, but many projects don't adopt them until it's too late because they are hard to set up correctly. Mirrorful gets you set up for a basic design system in minutes while leaving flexibility down the line for customizations. Its lightweight and dead simple.
We're on a mission to help your project be as beautiful as possible. The bar for high quality design is getting higher. We want to help everyone add simple design tokens to new (and existing!) projects.
Simple design systems also speed up development โ even early-stage projects! One report suggests its 47% faster to build a simple form using a design system. It's useful for engineers, designers, and especially your customers if there isn't a random color for each button in your app.
Mirrorful is a NPM package intended to be installed as dev dependency.
npm install mirrorful --save-dev
or
yarn add mirrorful --dev
The following commands will start a local editor at localhost:5050
.
yarn run mirrorful
or
npx mirrorful
After configuring your theme in the editor, you can export it to be used by your app.
We currently export to the following file types: .js
, .ts
, .css
, .scss
, .json
You can then either consume your new tokens through CSS Variables or Javascript constants!

We strive to be component library agnostic. Whether you're using Material UI, Chakra UI, Tailwind, Ant Design, or even your in-house library, Mirrorful hooks right in.
