Mosaic - Collage Group's Design System

Mosaic is a design system library created for Collage Group, built with Storybook, CRA, Typescript, and Material UI as its foundation. It provides customizable, pre-built React components that can be combined to create modern and responsive user interfaces.

Getting Started

Clone the repository.

git clone git@github.com:LatinumNetwork/mosaic.git

Install dependencies

npm install

Run Storybook

npm run storybook

Organization

This library follows the Atomic design pattern: Atoms, Molecules, and Organisms.

Atoms: These are the smallest building blocks of the UI, such as buttons, inputs, and labels.

Molecules: These are groups of atoms bonded together to form a functional unit, such as a form element with a label, input, and validation message.

Organisms: These are groups of molecules combined to form a more complex, standalone UI section, like a header, footer, or a complete form.

Structure

This is how are components are organized.

src/
  └─ components/
      ├─ atoms/
      ├─ molecules/
      └─ organisms/

This is an example of a component inside a building block.

src/
  └─ components/
      ├─ atoms/
      |   ├─ Button/
      |   |   ├─ Button.tsx
      |   |   ├─ Button.stories.tsx
      |   |   ├─ Button.stories.mdx
      |   |   └─ index.tsx
      |   └─ ...

Naming Conventions

Component names should be PascalCase and descriptive.

Keep names relatively short, but they must be still clear.

Component names should be consistent across atoms, molecules, and organisms.

Development - Creating New Components

A new component should exist in its folder following the above-mentioned conventions. That folder should have the following:

• A file creating the component. ex: Button.tsx. This file will house your atom, molecule, or organism.
• A template file or multiple template files. ex: Button.stories.tsx and/or Button.stories.mdx. mdx stands for markdown. Storybook lets you use a markdown file to explain components and their uses further.

After creating a component, you will have to export it out multiple levels until you reach src/index.ts. Please be explicit and export each type and component you make. Only use export default if there is only a single item you are exporting. Here's an example of being explicit:

• Box.tsx

export type BoxProps = MuiBoxProps;

export const Box = (props: BoxProps): React.JSX.Element => (
  <MuiBox {...props} />
);

• Box/index.ts

export { Box } from './Box';
export type { BoxProps } from './Box';
