What it does

Core component library and design system patterns. Use when building UI, using design tokens, or working with the component library.

Core Components

Design System Overview

Use components from your core library instead of raw platform components. This ensures consistent styling and behavior.

Design Tokens

NEVER hard-code values. Always use design tokens.

Spacing Tokens

// CORRECT - Use tokens
<Box padding="$4" marginBottom="$2" />

// WRONG - Hard-coded values
<Box padding={16} marginBottom={8} />
TokenValue
$14px
$28px
$312px
$416px
$624px
$832px

Color Tokens

// CORRECT - Semantic tokens
<Text color="$textPrimary" />
<Box backgroundColor="$backgroundSecondary" />

// WRONG - Hard-coded colors
<Text color="#333333" />
<Box backgroundColor="rgb(245, 245, 245)" />
