Clarity Design System
Clarity Design System is an open-source design system developed by VMware for building consistent, accessible, and scalable user interfaces for web applications. It provides a comprehensive set of UI components, design guidelines, and development tools, primarily focused on enterprise and data-intensive applications. The system includes CSS/HTML patterns, Angular components, and design tokens to ensure visual and functional coherence across projects.
Developers should use Clarity when building enterprise web applications, especially those involving complex data visualization, dashboards, or admin interfaces, as it offers robust components like datagrids, modals, and forms tailored for such use cases. It is particularly valuable for teams working within VMware ecosystems or seeking to maintain accessibility (WCAG compliance) and consistency across large-scale applications, reducing design debt and speeding up development with pre-built, tested components.
