Calcite Design System

Calcite Design System is a collection of design and development resources for creating engaging, cohesive experiences across apps with minimal effort. It includes design best practices, icons, color schemes, and a rich web component library.

You can use Calcite in conjunction with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript to build user-friendly web mapping applications. In fact, the design of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript’s widgets are based on Calcite so the two libraries blend well in apps.

Calcite Icons

You can use UI icons in your application's interface by utilizing the <calcite-icon> component.

Generate a <calcite-icon> code snippet by selecting an icon from the drop-down list. For more information on using <calcite-icon> in your applications visit Calcite Design System icons documentation.
