Reusable Component Library
Situation
The development team was building multiple applications that followed the same design system. However, the lack of a shared component library led to inconsistent designs, duplicated work, and time wasted on recreating the same UI elements across different projects.
Task
The task was to create a reusable component library that followed the design system, ensuring consistency across all applications. The components needed to be well-documented, easy to find, and simple to integrate into new and existing projects.
Action
We built a library of reusable components like buttons, forms, and navigation elements, all designed according to the shared design system. We used Storybook to document each component, providing live examples, usage instructions, and guidelines for customization. This approach made it easy for us and new onboarded peoble to browse the components and understand how to implement them correctly in their projects.
Result
The component library significantly improved development efficiency, saving around 70% of the time by reducing duplicated work and maintaining consistent design across applications. We could quickly find the components we needed, resulting in faster project completion and a unified user experience across the company’s products.
