Design Systems with React YnotDraw @_ynotdraw Tony Ward | Software
Engineer @ LifeOmic
Design Language + Shared Components + Documentation = Design System
Design Language
Designer creates the “design language” for your app
Create the voice of your product
Design Elements A defined set of options for: • Typography
sizes and weights • Buttons • Colors • …
Typically these items have a limited set of options
None
None
None
None
Design Tools Tools such as Sketch and Figma allow designers
to create these components, similar to components we have in React
Typically the primitive design elements are composed together to create
other components
Notification is composed of Typography and color palette
Mockups for a feature/product are created by composing these components
together
Design Language ✅ + Shared Components + Documentation = Design
System
Shared Components
Component Examples Primitive components every time you go to build
an app? • Typography sizes and weights • Buttons • Colors • Inputs • …
Your designer probably already created these as part of their
design language
Go build them with React!
Advantage: Agility Now you have a bucket of components to
build out features quickly!
Separate Apps Do you have separate apps under the same
product, that need to look and feel as though they are the same app? (Now made easier with the primitive components! Each app just imports the package.)
Maybe you want to go one step deeper…
Don’t Reinvent the Wheel Share components, utilities, etc. across product
lines
Your app becomes pages composed of many shared, consistent, and
familiar components
Similar to designers, building out a new feature is just
composing existing components together
Goal: Have enough components to build a new feature (Even
better goal: have enough components to build a new product)
So you and your designer built a bunch of components,
how do people learn about them?
Design Language ✅ + Shared Components ✅ + Documentation =
Design System
Documentation
Documentation Tools • Storybook (quick win) • Styleguidist • Mdx-docs
• Custom docs app
Documentation • How to’s: • Import • Use • Props
available • Use cases for components • When to use A vs B • Designers may do well at writing these sections
Design Language ✅ + Shared Components ✅ + Documentation ✅
= Design System
Advantages • Faster feature/product building • UI/UX consistencies and patterns
• Shared components with design • Shared “language” with design
Advantages • Great for onboarding new devs • Well-tested components
working across all browsers
How to Get Started • Build your own from scratch
• Build on top of MUI • Has a ton of components out of the box that are very sane • Can override styles to get going quickly
