Here’s how to build a component that will be considered stable and robust for both design, engineering, and documentation

Design

• [ ] Define the purpose of the component
  • [ ] Identify the main objective of the component
  • [ ] Specify the use cases
• [ ] Create wireframes
  • [ ] Develop wireframes to visualize the structure
  • [ ] Include interaction states (normal, hover, active)
• [ ] Establish styles
  • [ ] Determine design tokens (colors, typography, spacing)
  • [ ] Apply styles according to naming conventions
• [ ] Prototyping
  • [ ] Create an interactive prototype
  • [ ] Test with users to gather feedback

Development

• [ ] Define component architecture
  • [ ] Choose the framework (e.g., Vue.js, React)
  • [ ] Organize files and project structure
• [ ] Code the component
  • [ ] Follow coding conventions
  • [ ] Ensure accessibility (e.g., ARIA roles)
• [ ] Unit tests
  • [ ] Write unit tests to validate functionality
  • [ ] Check edge cases and error handling
• [ ] Continuous integration
  • [ ] Set up CI/CD tools to automate deployment
  • [ ] Validate compatibility with other components

Documentation

• [ ] Document specifications
  • [ ] Include a complete description of the component
  • [ ] Specify props, events, and methods
• [ ] Usage Guidelines
  • [ ] Describe best practices for usage
  • [ ] Provide code examples for integration
