Components

One design system, drawn natively everywhere

Every OpenVibe component is described by what it is: its parts, the tokens they wear, its states, and how it reads to a screen reader. The web draws it with the kit; an Android or iOS app draws the same component with its own views, so an app is never a web page in a frame.

Row

One item in a list: its mark, the title with a badge and the time on one line, one muted line under it, a trailing control.

Parts and their tokens

  • mark optionalsizesize.avatara picture, or up to two letters on a colour from the name
  • titlecolorcolor.text.primaryweighttype.weight.bold
  • meta optionalcolorcolor.text.mutedsizetype.size.metathe time, on the title's line
  • sub optionalcolorcolor.text.mutedsizetype.size.metaone line, cut with …
  • trail optionala count, a switch or a button

Code

SwiftUI, on the theme file from Tokens (iOS): OvTokens (the theme you wear) for colour, OvScale for sizes.

// OpenVibe kit for SwiftUI: add the theme file from openvibe.design/tokens (iOS) and say which half the app wears.
typealias OvTokens = VibeDarkTokens   // or VibeLightTokens, from @Environment(\.colorScheme)
enum OvKind { case primary, quiet, danger }

struct OvRow: View {
    let title: String
    var sub: String? = nil
    var meta: String? = nil
    var body: some View {
        HStack(alignment: .firstTextBaseline) {
            VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) {
                Text(title).fontWeight(.bold).lineLimit(1)
                if let sub { Text(sub).font(.system(size: OvScale.typeSizeMeta)).foregroundStyle(OvTokens.colorTextMuted).lineLimit(1) }
            }
            Spacer()
            if let meta { Text(meta).font(.system(size: OvScale.typeSizeMeta)).foregroundStyle(OvTokens.colorTextMuted) }
        }
        .frame(minHeight: 56)
        .accessibilityElement(children: .combine)
    }
}

Shared interfaces

Web, Android and iOS definitions for the navigation, composer, sheets, settings and motion used across OpenVibe. See the whole registry, or read it as JSON at /api/v1/components.

Kit documents: screens as data

A screen can be sent as a tree of these components, for example { "type": "rail", "children": [{ "type": "card", … }] }. Every OpenVibe client renders the same document with its own views, so a screen can change without an app release (the server-driven UI pattern of Airbnb and DivKit). Documents are checked strictly: known components and props only, typed values, which children each takes, a size limit, and https or same-site links.
