# I Built Swiftthemekit: A Design System SDK for SwiftUI with Theming Tokens and Components
Welcome back, sysadmins and homelabbers! Today, I’m excited to share my latest project: Swiftthemekit - an open-source, self-hosted design system SDK for SwiftUI. This toolkit streamlines the process of building themable user interfaces in SwiftUI applications by providing a collection of reusable components and theming tokens.
If you’re interested in improving the aesthetics and consistency of your SwiftUI projects, or simply want an open-source alternative to existing design system SDKs, read on!
The Challenge: Consistent UI Across Projects
One common challenge when building applications with SwiftUI is maintaining a consistent user interface (UI) across multiple projects. This can be particularly difficult for sysadmins who work on several projects simultaneously or for those who contribute to open-source software.
The Solution: Swiftthemekit
Swiftthemekit addresses this issue by providing a centralized repository of reusable UI components and theming tokens, making it easy to create a consistent look and feel across your SwiftUI projects.
Key Features
- Components Library: A collection of pre-built, customizable UI components such as buttons, cards, forms, and modals. Each component can be easily themed using the built-in theming system.
- Theming Tokens: A set of predefined properties (colors, fonts, sizes, etc.) that can be easily updated to change the overall appearance of your UI.
- Customizability: You can extend and modify the existing components or create your own from scratch, providing endless possibilities for building unique UIs.
Self-Hosting with Docker Deployment
Swiftthemekit is designed to be self-hosted, allowing you to have full control over your design system. To make deployment as seamless as possible, Swiftthemekit includes a Dockerfile for easy containerization and deployment on a Linux server.
Homelab Setup
For those with a homelab setup, deploying Swiftthemekit is straightforward. Simply build the Docker image, run it in your preferred container orchestration tool (such as Kubernetes or Docker Compose), and you’re ready to start using Swiftthemekit!
Professional Application
Swiftthemekit isn’t just for personal projects; it can be used in professional settings as well. By providing a consistent UI across your organization’s apps, you can improve the overall user experience and boost productivity.
In summary, Swiftthemekit is an open-source, self-hosted design system SDK for SwiftUI that provides a collection of reusable UI components and theming tokens. With its Docker deployment support and ease of use in homelab setups, it’s the perfect tool for sysadmins and homelabbers looking to streamline their SwiftUI development workflow and improve UI consistency across projects.
