Rivet 2.0.0-beta.2 release

This week, we published the second beta release of Rivet 2 to GitHub. This release introduces the link hub component, adds new utility classes, and refactors component JavaScript.

See the complete Rivet 2 changelog

Rivet 2 is now in beta

If you missed the Rivet 2 beta release announcement, see our previous blog post.

Link hub component

This releases introduces the new link hub component, which allows you to show a list of links with optional descriptions.

Link hubs are often used on website home pages, section index pages, and landing pages to guide the user toward resources related to a single topic. The link hub has both single-column and grid variants.

New utility classes

This release adds the .rvt-width-3-xl and .rvt-width-4-xl width utility classes.

These new CSS classes bring the width utilities in line with the sizes offered by the spacing utilities.

This release also adds the .rvt-text-medium font weight utility class.

Component JavaScript refactor

The JavaScript code powering many of Rivet’s components has been rewritten.

While this does not affect the functionality of components, it provides some much-needed improvement to the maintainability of the code for the Rivet team.
