Primer Brand is [open-sourced on GitHub](https://github.com/primer/brand) and [available on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@primer/react-brand).

### 1. Install Primer Brand

Install Primer Brand with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).

```shell
npm install @primer/react-brand
```

### 2. Import global stylesheets

Primer Brand requires a global stylesheet to be loaded ahead-of-time.

> Refer to [this separate guide if you are using an ESM-compatible bundler](./esm.md). Component styles are included
> with the React component imports.

#### a. Using an application bundler (e.g. Webpack)

Import the `main` stylesheet at the earliest rendering opportunity:

```js
import '@primer/react-brand/lib/css/main.css'
```

or

#### b. Using a static stylesheet

Load the static stylesheet if you're unable to import stylesheets using a bundler

```html
<link href="https://unpkg.com/browse/@primer/react-brand@<version>/lib/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

### 3. (Optional) Import the custom font assets

Primer Brand references the `Mona Sans` typeface, which will need to be loaded alongside the main stylesheet.

```js
import '@primer/react-brand/fonts/fonts.css'
```

or

```html
<link href="https://unpkg.com/browse/@primer/react-brand@<version>/fonts/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

### 4. Use the ThemeProvider

You must add the `ThemeProvider` to the root of your application for theming to work correctly.

E.g.

```js
import {ThemeProvider} from '@primer/react-brand'

function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider>
      <div>...</div>
    </ThemeProvider>
  )
}
```

### 5. Import components

Components can be imported into any React-based application.

E.g.

```js
import {Hero} from '@primer/react-brand'
```

```jsx
<Hero>
  <Hero.Label>Label</Hero.Label>
  <Hero.Heading>This is my super sweet hero heading</Hero.Heading>
  <Hero.Description>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In sapien sit ullamcorper id. Aliquam luctus sed turpis
    felis nam pulvinar risus elementum.
  </Hero.Description>
  <Hero.PrimaryAction href="#">Primary action</Hero.PrimaryAction>
  <Hero.SecondaryAction href="#">Secondary action</Hero.SecondaryAction>
</Hero>
```
