Social Media Icons

Gabriel Weinberg

• Material Icons does not have social media icons

• Found a Figma library that has been modeled from material UI

• Needs separate implementation to be made available in the library

• Is this the best solution for social media icons for now?

NPM workspaces in Paragon

Viktor Rusakov

Adam Stankiewicz

Paragon git repository contains several smaller packages which was sometimes a pain point for the engineers as they would need to perform same action for each of the separate package (e.g. install dependencies).

We improved that by introducing npm workspaces in the repository (basically creating a monorepo) which allows us to greatly simplify local development in Paragon.

Example improvements

Installing dependencies

As a newcomer to Paragon who wants to install the NPM dependencies, previously you’d either have to run npm install in each individual package or have knowledge of a npm run install-all NPM script we were maintaining.

Now, running npm install after cloning the repo will install NPM dependencies for all packages.

All packages are added to a single, top-level node_modules instead of each package getting its own node_modules.

Starting the docs site locally

Previously, running npm start would output a command to cd www && npm start.

With NPM workspaces, npm start runs the npm start command in the www package.
