Technical Details

Architecture

The design system is built with a modular architecture that allows easy maintenance and updates:
// Example component structure export const Button = forwardRef< HTMLButtonElement, ButtonProps >(({ variant = "primary", size = "md", ...props }, ref) => { return ( <button ref={ref} className={cn( buttonVariants({ variant, size }), props.className )} {...props} /> ); });

Performance Optimizations

  • Tree-shaking support for unused components
  • Lazy loading for heavy components
  • Optimized bundle size (~45KB gzipped)
  • No runtime dependencies

Integration

Installation

npm install @design-system/ui

Usage

import { Button, Card, Input } from "@design-system/ui"; export function Example() { return ( <Card> <Input placeholder="Enter text..." /> <Button variant="primary">Submit</Button> </Card> ); }

Impact

The design system has been adopted across our product suite, resulting in:
  • 40% reduction in development time for new features
  • Consistent user experience across all platforms
  • Improved accessibility compliance
  • Easier maintenance and updates

Future Roadmap

  • Vue 3 component bindings
  • Mobile component library
  • Figma plugin for design-to-code
