Sakani Design System is a free React component library aimed at people building SaaS product interfaces. It bundles more than 45 ready made pieces, things like buttons, form inputs, tables, calendars, sidebars, and small charts, and every one of them supports both a light and a dark appearance out of the box. What makes it different from many component libraries is that it was designed first in a Figma file, then built in code to match exactly, so the visual design tool and the React code stay in sync as mirrors of each other. Both live at links in the README, one is a hosted Storybook showing every component and variant, the other is the actual Figma design file. Underneath, the whole library is built on a token system with three layers. Primitive tokens hold raw values like color scales and spacing. Semantic tokens give those raw values a purpose, such as a background color or a border color, and these are the ones that flip automatically between light and dark. Individual components only ever reference the semantic tokens, never the raw ones, so changing a single semantic token updates every component that uses it, in both the design file and the running app. Dark mode itself is triggered simply by adding a dark class to a containing element. Accessibility is treated as a first class concern rather than an afterthought. The library states it has been checked for adequate color contrast in both light and dark mode, includes a consistent keyboard focus ring across every interactive element, respects a user's reduced motion preference, and includes proper screen reader labeling for more complex components like comboboxes and calendars. To try it, a developer clones the repository, installs dependencies with npm, and runs a Storybook command that opens a local browser preview of every component. Using a component in an actual project means importing a shared token stylesheet once and then importing individual components as needed. The project is released under the MIT license, so it can be used freely in both personal and commercial work, and future plans include publishing it as an installable npm package.
A free, open-source React component library with over 45 accessible UI pieces, built to match a companion Figma design file exactly, with automatic light and dark theming.
Mainly TypeScript. The stack also includes React, TypeScript, Storybook.
Free to use for both personal and commercial projects under the MIT license, as long as the copyright notice is kept.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
