NI fork of Microsoft FAST to support the NI Nimble Design System.
If you are at NI, lucky you! Reach out to ask questions via Microsoft Teams on the Design System General channel or via NI Stack Overflow with the nimble tag.
If you are outside NI, we want to hear from you too! See how to reach out in the Community section below.
FAST is a collection of technologies built on Web Components and modern Web Standards, designed to help you efficiently tackle some of the most common challenges in website and application design and development.
In May 2024 the Microsoft FAST project changed directions and is no longer supporting the FAST Foundation library concept. The Nimble Design System response was to create this fork of the libraries to enable bug fixes and continued maintenance of the FAST libraries for the short to mid-term.
- Maintain the FAST libraries used in the fork.
- Perform dependency version updates and generic bug fixes for existing features.
- Adopt minor features targeted to consistency / alignment for general purpose use.
- Avoid new major feature or component development, prefer forking templates for significant or non-generic changes.
- Potentially re-integrate removed packages or features based on future needs or community feedback.
- Potentially stage / research minor changes to assist in future work for handling FAST re-alignment.
