🎨 Day 44 — Component Libraries & Design Systems

🎨 Day 44 — Component Libraries & Design Systems (Storybook Intro)

As React applications grow, maintaining design consistency across hundreds of components becomes a challenge. That’s where component libraries and design systems come in — they ensure a consistent UI and smoother collaboration between designers and developers.

🔹 1. Popular Component Libraries

  • Material UI (MUI) — Google's Material Design for React.
  • Chakra UI — Modern, accessible, and easy to theme.
  • Ant Design — A professional-grade enterprise UI kit.
  • Bootstrap React — The classic responsive design framework in React form.

📘 2. What Is a Design System?

A design system defines reusable patterns, design tokens (colors, typography, spacing), and component behavior. It’s the foundation for building a scalable, consistent user interface.

🚀 3. Introduction to Storybook

Storybook is a tool that allows developers to build, document, and test components in isolation. It helps teams visualize every component’s state without running the entire app.

Installation:

npx storybook@latest init
npm run storybook
  

Example Story:

// Button.stories.js
import Button from "./Button";

export default {
  title: "Components/Button",
  component: Button,
};

export const Primary = () => <Button label="Click Me" />;
  

💡 Benefits of Storybook

  • Visualize all components in one place.
  • Collaborate easily with designers.
  • Enhance UI testing and documentation.
