Atomic Design Eh? A modular design and front-end approach for
the masses?
What is it about? Modular Design Best Practice or a
way to optimise your workflow, maintainability and quality in design and front-end.
Why do we care? Design and front-end carries a whole
lot of complexity these days. We need best practices and a common language for the team to commit to and work with.
Atomic Design Overview Atom Molecule Organism Template Page The atomic
design concept introduces the following terms
Atomic Design Overview Atom Molecule Organism Template Page Containers Building
Blocks You can group them into the building blocks and containers
Brad. Frost. Who? The guy who “invented” atomic design
Atom The “smallest” reusable thing Examples are Buttons, Input Fields,
Headings, etc.
Molecule The “bigger” reusable thing built with the “smallest” things
Examples are Search Box, Card Listing, Button Group, etc.
Organism A “biggest” thing built with the “smallest” and “bigger”
things Examples are Headers, Footers, Flight Search, etc.
Template A container with rooms for all the things Examples
are Home Layout, Blog Layout, etc.
Page A container filled with all the things Examples are
Home Page, Blog Page, etc.
Pattern Libraries Atom Molecule Organism Template Page Building UI or
pattern libraries is easier with a system like Atomic Design.

atoms to your pattern library

adding molecules
