Paragon training

Ben Warzeski (Deactivated)

• May need some consideration on improvements for training

• Take a moment to understand what currently exists (specifics about individual components, etc.)

• Pain point is similar for designers, too (per UX interviews)

• Push vs. pull

  • At the very least, some sort of consolidated guide on “here’s all we have”

  • Some sort of more formal Paragon training

  • “Really well documented, but have to know where to look”

    • CSS or style things (e.g., some arguments, css flags, etc.)

    • Missing pixels values

      • Adam Stankiewicz to look into whether we can we compute these values at runtime (to handle theme changes)?

“Invisible” layout components in Figma

• Drag-and-drop layout components that can be composed

• Controlled vs. uncontrolled responsive behavior

  • Layout components definitely uncontrolled

  • We might need more clarity/decision on whether/how components “own” responsiveness behavior.

[question] Any update on the newly recently requested TeamPay billing information for ParagonParagon’s Netlify account?

Paragon docs website URL

Adam Stankiewicz

[inform]

• As a follow-up to the theme switcher addition to the Paragon documentation site, paragon-edx.netlify.app now redirects to paragon-openedx.netlify.app (i.e., including all routes; existing links still work).

• Investigating how we might set up https://paragon.edx.org to be the primary entry point for 2U/edX staff instead of remembering the Netlify URL or finding the link from the Github repo.

Adam Stankiewicz

Raccoon Gang (technical) work:

In-progress

• Adding Segment to docs site.

  • Adam Stankiewicz to file ticket to create Segment & Google Analytics properties.

• Multiselect component

• Remove font-awesome from Paragon.

  • Fun fact: 31% of Paragon’s bundle size is from font-awesome 😮

• Discovery: creating some initial docs around future Bootstrap 5 upgrade and what that might look like for us.

• Improving testability for technical Paragon consumers (e.g., export constants, add “Testing considerations” section to component docs).

• (ongoing) Built-in i18n for Paragon components

  • Setting up transifex pipelines, etc.

Upcoming

• Focus styles (motivated by Eugene’s design work)

• Miscellaneous:

  • (ticket to be filed) Fix “jittering” (i.e., overflow causing scrollbar) on DataTable when no data yet exists and is marked as isLoading

• Component Deprecation

  • Adam Stankiewicz to write up a Paragon ADR about component deprecation strategy (e.g, what advance notice should be given and when/how?).

  • RG to remove components from Paragon.

• [question] Anything else from design’s POV that is ready to be handed off to engineering?
