What is a living design system

Eufemia, DNB's design system, is a UI collection of components, rules, principles, constraints and best practices for UI design and front end code, and is subject for continuous improvement over time.

In a practical manner

Many developers think of a design system as a pattern library, however it is important to remember that Eufemia is a living design system. Suggestions, improvements, new integrations and new additions to the system will form Eufemia continuous.

Consistency

One of the main goals for Eufemia is to give the user consistency during the user journey. Consistency will be experienced in many ways, like receptive extensions, state interactions, navigation logics, color usage and accessibility.

A design system like Eufemia is the single source of truth for UI assets and components. This includes ready to use UI-elements in code for developers and graphic libraries for UX-designers.
