Are You Tired of Mineral Improvements?
Of course you’re not… and neither are we! So it’s good news that we have even more exciting improvements to share this month. Jump right in and check out what we have for you.
Latest
A Toast… To Usability!
Clear and timely system notifications are critical for robust applications, so we’ve taken Mineral’s Toasts (Snackbar), Inline Messages (Banner) and Notifications to the next level by adding guidance for message priority, interactions, multi-display and more.
Each product will have its own use cases for system messages, so let us know how you use them.
Side Navigation Levels Up
The NavItem component has been replaced with SideNavMenuItem (to be used within a SideNavMenu). It now supports up to three levels of navigation for your app, with an easy-to-use API, smooth transitions, and accessibility baked-in.
- Docs for the SideNavMenu & SideNavMenuItem components are available in Storybook
- Design and usage guidelines are available in Figma
Mineral – A Team Effort
Mineral was intended from the beginning to be a collaborative system. Everyone on the team can contribute and benefit from it. Part of Mineral’s strength is that the team is in frequent communication with product teams to understand their needs and learn how Mineral can be improved.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve spoken to several teams — AAI, Automic, BlazeMeter, CDD, and others — and are eager to hear from more of you. Contact the Mineral team today to share some of your challenges and thoughts of how Mineral might be able to help.
