Roadmap
This roadmap shows what we’re working on and planning to do. Some things on the roadmap might change — the purpose is to tell you what’s coming up and help product teams prepare and plan their own work.
See our GitHub Project for more details on a sprint-by-sprint basis.
Recently shipped
We recently:
- ensured React default props are initialized with serially-stable values.
- re-wrote our contribution guidance to better center around the designer and developer experience.
- migrated our React tutorial from Create React App to NextJs. (thanks to Jeremy Caine)
- added a
background option
to
StructuredList. - reduced the time it takes for teams to get to v11.
- created the UIShell template in Figma.
- Deprecated our white, g10, g90, and g100 Figma theme libraries in favor of a singular library for v10 and v11, respectively.
Working on now
We’re currently investing in work-streams centered around accessibility, new IBM acquisitions adopting Carbon, component enhancements, and of course… AI.
We’re working on:
- adding a component accessibility status to better inform you when consuming our components. ♿
- updating our accessibility tabs across all of our components to give you more clear guidance when using our components.
- creating documentation for newly acquirely IBM product teams to more easily size and estimate what it will take to adopt Carbon into their offering.
- migrating our React examples off of Create-React-App.
- bringing in AI enhancements to all the core components.
- bringing in
new components,
including
ComboButton,MenuButton, andOverflowMenu, built on ourMenuprimitive.
Coming up next
In a not-to-distant future we plan to:
- bring
”select all”
functionality to our
Multi-selectcomponent. - add the ability to
enter a unique
value into
ComboBox. - Align our Storybook experience to reflect our website experience more accurately.
- Enter phase 2 of our AI strategy.
Future plans
The future certainly is less clear, but we intend to:
- Add Status Indictors to the core components.
- Pin all Github Actions to a full length commit SHA.
