My Design System

A comprehensive, unified component library combining Tailwind UI, TailAdmin, and Catalyst UI components for Builder.io integration and modern web applications.

🚀 Overview

This design system provides a curated collection of production-ready React components with TypeScript support, designed for:

• Builder.io Integration: All components are registered for visual editing
• Modern Web Applications: Built with React 18+ and TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first styling with dark mode support
• Accessibility: WCAG compliant components
• Performance: Optimized bundle size and tree-shaking support

📦 Installation

Basic Component Usage

import { Button, Input, Card } from '@tindeveloper/design-system';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Card title="User Profile" description="Manage user settings">
      <Input 
        label="Email Address"
        type="email"
        placeholder="[email protected]"

        onClick={() => console.log('Saved!')}
      >
        Save Changes
      </Button>
    </Card>
  );
}

Admin Layout Usage

import { AdminLayoutSaaS } from '@tindeveloper/design-system';

function DashboardPage() {
  const userInfo = {
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: '[email protected]',
    avatar: 'https://example.com/avatar.jpg',
    role: 'Administrator'
  };

  const navigationItems = [
    {
      id: 'dashboard',
      label: 'Dashboard',
      href: '/dashboard',
      icon: '🏠'
    },
    {
      id: 'users',
      label: 'Users',
      href: '/users',
      icon: '👥',
      badge: '12'
    }
  ];

  return (
    <AdminLayoutSaaS
      pageTitle="Dashboard"
      userInfo={userInfo}
      navigationItems={navigationItems}
      breadcrumbs={[
        { label: 'Home', href: '/' },
        { label: 'Dashboard' }
      ]}
    >
      <div>Your dashboard content here</div>
    </AdminLayoutSaaS>
  );
}

Builder.io Integration

Components are automatically registered with Builder.io. To use in Builder.io:

1. Import the design system in your Builder.io model
2. Components will appear in the Builder.io component panel
3. Configure props through the visual editor
4. Components render with real data in your application

import '@tindeveloper/design-system';

// Components are now available in Builder.io editor

🎯 Component Props & Types

Button Component

interface ButtonProps {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'outline' | 'danger';
  size?: 'small' | 'medium' | 'large';
  disabled?: boolean;
  onClick?: () => void;
}

Input Component

interface InputProps {
  label?: string;
  placeholder?: string;
  type?: 'text' | 'email' | 'password' | 'number';
  value?: string;
  onChange?: (value: string) => void;
  error?: string;
  disabled?: boolean;
}

AdminLayoutSaaS Component

interface AdminLayoutSaaSProps {
  pageTitle: string;
  userInfo: {
    name: string;
    email: string;
    avatar?: string;
    role?: string;
  };
  navigationItems: Array<{
    id: string;
    label: string;
    href: string;
    icon?: React.ReactNode;
    badge?: string;
  }>;
  children: React.ReactNode;
  breadcrumbs?: Array<{
    label: string;
    href?: string;
  }>;
  defaultCollapsed?: boolean;
}

🌙 Dark Mode Support

All components support dark mode through Tailwind CSS dark mode classes:

// Automatic dark mode detection
<div className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100">
  Content adapts to system theme
</div>

// Manual dark mode toggle
const [isDark, setIsDark] = useState(false);
<div className={isDark ? 'dark' : ''}>
  <Component />
</div>

📱 Responsive Design

Components are built mobile-first with responsive breakpoints:

• sm: 640px and up
• md: 768px and up
• lg: 1024px and up
• xl: 1280px and up
• 2xl: 1536px and up

<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  {/* Responsive grid layout */}
</div>

📚 Documentation

Component Documentation

• File: docs/component-library.md
• Format: Markdown with props tables and examples
• Updated: Automatically via sync script

Builder.io Registry

• File: docs/builder-registry.json
• Format: JSON metadata for Builder.io integration
• Usage: Imported by Builder.io for component discovery

API Reference

All component props and types are documented in TypeScript interfaces. Use your IDE's intellisense for inline documentation.

🔄 Component Sync Process

The sync script ensures consistency across:

• Component exports in src/index.ts
• Builder.io registrations in src/builder-registry.ts
• Documentation in docs/component-library.md
• Registry metadata in docs/builder-registry.json

npm run sync

🎨 Customization

Theme Customization

Modify tailwind.config.ts to customize:

• Colors
• Spacing
• Typography
• Breakpoints
• Dark mode behavior

Component Styling

Components use Tailwind utility classes. Override by:

1. Passing custom className props
2. Using CSS modules
3. Extending Tailwind configuration

Adding New Components

1. Create component in appropriate folder (components/custom/)
2. Export from src/index.ts
3. Register with Builder.io in src/builder-registry.ts
4. Run npm run sync to update documentation

📦 Bundle Optimization

Tree Shaking

// Import only needed components
import { Button, Input } from '@tindeveloper/design-system';

// Avoid importing entire library
import * from '@tindeveloper/design-system'; // ❌ Don't do this

Bundle Analysis

npm run analyze
# Opens bundle analyzer in browser

🔒 Security Considerations

• All user inputs are sanitized
• No XSS vulnerabilities in components
• CSP-compliant inline styles
• Secure default configurations

🤝 Contributing

Code Standards

• TypeScript strict mode
• ESLint + Prettier configuration
• Conventional commit messages
• Component prop documentation required

Pull Request Process

1. Fork repository
2. Create feature branch
3. Add tests for new components
4. Update documentation
5. Submit pull request

Component Requirements

• TypeScript interfaces for all props
• JSDoc comments for documentation
• Responsive design
• Dark mode support
• Accessibility compliance
• Builder.io registration

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Import Errors

# Clear node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

TypeScript Errors

# Regenerate type definitions
npm run type-check

Builder.io Registration Issues

# Sync component registry
npm run sync

Build Failures

# Check for circular dependencies

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

DEBUG=design-system:* npm run dev

📈 Performance

Metrics

• Bundle Size: < 50KB gzipped
• Tree Shaking: 100% supported
• First Paint: < 100ms
• Component Render: < 16ms

Optimization Tips

1. Import only needed components
2. Use React.memo for expensive components
3. Implement lazy loading for large components
4. Optimize images and assets
