Patterns

Design patterns are reusable solutions to common design problems. They provide guidance on how to combine components and design elements to create effective user experiences.

Why Patterns?​

Patterns help teams:

  • Solve problems faster - Use proven solutions instead of starting from scratch
  • Maintain consistency - Apply the same approach to similar problems
  • Share knowledge - Document best practices and learnings
  • Scale efficiently - Enable teams to work independently while maintaining quality

Pattern Categories​

Form Patterns​

Common patterns for collecting user input:

Layout Patterns​

Structural patterns for organizing content:

Using Patterns​

Each pattern includes:

  1. Problem - What problem does this pattern solve?
  2. Solution - How should you approach solving it?
  3. When to Use - Situations where this pattern applies
  4. When Not to Use - Situations to avoid this pattern
  5. Examples - Code and design examples
  6. Best Practices - Tips for implementation
  7. Accessibility - Accessibility considerations
  8. Related Patterns - Alternative or complementary patterns

Pattern vs Component​

Components are reusable UI elements (Button, Card, Modal).

Patterns are approaches to solving problems that may use multiple components together with specific logic and behavior.
