Strong digital products
The DB UI ecosystem accelerates digital products development @ Deutsche Bahn – open for all web tech stacks, compatible to brand standards and accessible, we're about democratizing the development.
"DB Personenverkehr" (passenger service) and DB Systel have merged their Design Systems for Web by introducing a new version 2. Our goal is to enable a coherent basic UX on the basis of "Moderne Ikone" (modern icon) for customer- and employee-applications. To ensure consistency end to end through the phases starting with concept, through design up until development, we're even also providing the DB UX Design System version 2 as code components by DB Systel and "Reisendeninformationen" (traveler informations).
To empower all colleagues that are working in the fields of development, concept, design and content-production, for delivering the very best digital experiences.
Product ecosystem
By DB UI Base we're providing general assetes and Design Tokens for the universal usage in Web as well as Native App development projects.
By DB UI Core we're providing robust HTML UI components as a basis for Web Development, reusable visual styles and mature tools.
Especially for JavaScript application development we're providing universal UI components by DB UI Elements – either Web Components based on Web Standards, as well as proxies / wrappers for the most common JavaScript frameworks that feel like native JavaScript framework components.
Core principals
How to use
For using DB UI Core, you need to install it as a dependency to your
project and then link it within your HTML / CSS.
Please have a look into the
Docs / Get Started(docs)
for detailed instructions.
In case that you're developing a JavaScript application, please have a
look at
DB UI Elements, that's based on DB UI Core and provides Web Components for easier
integration into this tech context.
