Technical Details

Architecture

The design system is built with a modular architecture that allows easy maintenance and updates:

TypeScript
1// Example component structure 2export const Button = forwardRef< 3 HTMLButtonElement, 4 ButtonProps 5>(({ variant = "primary", size = "md", ...props }, ref) => { 6 return ( 7 <button 8 ref={ref} 9 className={cn( 10 buttonVariants({ variant, size }), 11 props.className 12 )} 13 {...props} 14 /> 15 ); 16});

Performance Optimizations

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

Integration

Installation

Bash
npm install @design-system/ui

Usage

React TSX
1import { Button, Card, Input } from "@design-system/ui"; 2 3export function Example() { 4 return ( 5 <Card> 6 <Input placeholder="Enter text..." /> 7 <Button variant="primary">Submit</Button> 8 </Card> 9 ); 10}
