Typescript configurations

This project uses two different tsconfig.json. One for developing and one for building. The main purpose of the tsconfig.json for building is to exclude all the files not needed for the distribution itself.

Components

Each component of the design system is defined in lib/components.

Each component has an index.tsx file that exports the component and its optional subcomponents. Subcomponents are components that are mean to be used togther/nested with the component.

The components that are considered public API from a consumer standpoint must have Storybook stories that showcases and documents their use.

Styling is done with CSS modules.

Variants are implemented with Class Variance Authority.

The typings for each components live in their respective types.ts file inside the component folder.

Each component has a dedicated export declaration in package.json to facilitate tree shaking and importing component individually. This allows components that are not client components to remain as such when imported in server components.

Remember to add an export line to the package.json of this package when adding a new components.

Storybook

Each component should have at least one Storybook story. A default story that showcases the component by itself in its default state. More stories are added to showcase other variants or usages of the component.

Compositions

Stories that involve other non-related components are compositions. These should be placed in the Compositions/ folder where the composition has the best chance of discoverability, typically inside the component folder of the outermost component of the composition. Exporting the same composition in multiple places can be good for discoverability.
