Overview
Astryx is a robust, open-source design system born from Meta's extensive experience, powering over 13,000 applications. It offers a cohesive system of 150+ accessible components, comprehensive theming, dark mode support, ready-to-use templates, and a powerful CLI, all built with React and StyleX. Designed for modern development workflows, Astryx empowers both human developers and AI assistants to build user interfaces efficiently and consistently.
Key Features
- Fully Customizable & Open Internals: Components are designed for deep composition, with direct export of building blocks and the ability to "swizzle" and own a component's full source code for ultimate control.
- No Styling Lock-in: While built with StyleX, Astryx is invisible to consumers. Seamlessly integrate with your existing styling solutions like Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, or plain CSS using
className. - Effortless Theming: Customize without forking. The theming system relies on CSS custom property overrides, allowing designers to imbue Astryx with a unique brand identity without complex code modifications.
- Agent-Ready API & Tooling: The API, documentation, and CLI are intentionally designed in unison, ensuring that both people and AI assistants work with the same reference points and build in a consistent manner.
- Comprehensive Component Library: Ships with over 150 accessible, type-safe React components, along with pre-built themes and useful utilities.
- Powerful CLI: Streamline development with tooling for component documentation, template generation, scaffolding, theme management, and codemods.
