|
|
- **Forms**: TanStack Form + Zod validation
|
|
|
|
## Design Philosophy & Best Practices
|
|
|
|
**ALWAYS follow these principles:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Mobile-First Responsive Design**:
|
|
|
|
- Start with mobile layouts (`sm:`, `md:`, `lg:`, `xl:`, `2xl:`)
|
|
- Use fluid spacing and typography
|
|
- Test on multiple screen sizes
|
|
- Avoid fixed widths, use responsive units
|
|
|
|
2. **Accessibility First (WCAG 2.1 AA)**:
|
|
|
|
- Semantic HTML structure (`<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`)
|
|
- Proper ARIA attributes when needed
|
|
- Keyboard navigation support
|
|
- Focus states for interactive elements
|
|
- Sufficient color contrast (4.5:1 minimum)
|
|
- Screen reader friendly labels
|
|
|
|
3. **Consistent Design System**:
|
|
|
|
- Use Tailwind design tokens consistently
|
|
- Establish spacing scale (4px base unit)
|
|
- Define typography hierarchy
|
|
- Create reusable component variants
|
|
- Maintain consistent color palette
|
|
|
|
4. **Performance Optimization**:
|
|
|
|
- Use `cn()` utility for conditional classes
|
|
- Avoid inline styles when possible
|
|
- Optimize images with lazy loading and native `<img loading="lazy" />`
|
|
- Code split heavy components with React.lazy()
|
|
- Minimize CSS bundle size
|
|
|
|
5. **Component Architecture**:
|
|
- Single Responsibility Principle
|
|
- Compose small, focused components
|
|
- Extract reusable patterns
|
|
- Use TypeScript for props
|
|
- All components are client-side (Vite + React)
|
|
- Use React.lazy() for code splitting when needed
|
|
|
|
## shadcn/ui Component Patterns (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
**Standard component structure:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";
|
|
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
|
|
import {
|
|
Card,
|
|
CardContent,
|
|
CardDescription,
|
|
CardHeader,
|
|
CardTitle,
|
|
} from "@/components/ui/card";
|
|
|
|
interface MyComponentProps {
|
|
title: string;
|
|
description?: string;
|
|
variant?: "default" | "destructive" | "outline";
|
|
className?: string;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export function MyComponent({
|
|
title,
|
|
description,
|
|
variant = "default",
|
|
className,
|
|
}: MyComponentProps) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Card className={cn("w-full max-w-md", className)}>
|
|
<CardHeader>
|
|
<CardTitle>{title}</CardTitle>
|
|
{description && <CardDescription>{description}</CardDescription>}
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<Button variant={variant}>Click me</Button>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tailwind CSS Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Responsive Layout Example
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-4 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4">
|
|
{items.map((item) => (
|
|
<Card key={item.id} className="flex flex-col">
|
|
<CardHeader>
|
|
<CardTitle className="text-lg">{item.title}</CardTitle>
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent className="flex-1">
|
|
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{item.description}</p>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
))}
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dark Mode Support
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<div className="bg-white dark:bg-slate-950">
|
|
<h1 className="text-slate-900 dark:text-slate-50">Heading</h1>
|
|
<p className="text-slate-600 dark:text-slate-400">Description</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom Component with Variants
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { cva, type VariantProps } from "class-variance-authority";
|
|
|
|
const alertVariants = cva("rounded-lg border p-4", {
|
|
variants: {
|
|
variant: {
|
|
default: "bg-background text-foreground",
|
|
destructive:
|
|
"border-destructive/50 text-destructive dark:border-destructive",
|
|
success:
|
|
"border-green-500/50 bg-green-50 text-green-900 dark:bg-green-950 dark:text-green-50",
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
defaultVariants: {
|
|
variant: "default",
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
interface AlertProps extends VariantProps<typeof alertVariants> {
|
|
children: React.ReactNode;
|
|
className?: string;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export function Alert({ variant, className, children }: AlertProps) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className={cn(alertVariants({ variant }), className)}>{children}</div>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Accessibility Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Accessible Button
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<Button
|
|
aria-label="Close dialog"
|
|
aria-describedby="dialog-description"
|
|
onClick={handleClose}
|
|
>
|
|
<X className="h-4 w-4" />
|
|
<span className="sr-only">Close</span>
|
|
</Button>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Accessible Form
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<form>
|
|
<div className="space-y-2">
|
|
<Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
|
|
<Input
|
|
id="email"
|
|
type="email"
|
|
aria-required="true"
|
|
aria-describedby="email-error"
|
|
/>
|
|
<p id="email-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
|
|
{error}
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</form>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Skip Navigation Link
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<a
|
|
href="#main-content"
|
|
className="sr-only focus:not-sr-only focus:absolute focus:top-4 focus:left-4 focus:z-50"
|
|
>
|
|
Skip to main content
|
|
</a>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Animation Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Tailwind Transitions
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<Button className="transition-all hover:scale-105 active:scale-95">
|
|
Hover me
|
|
</Button>
|
|
|
|
<Card className="transition-colors hover:bg-accent">
|
|
Interactive card
|
|
</Card>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Framer Motion (when needed)
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
"use client";
|
|
|
|
import { motion } from "framer-motion";
|
|
|
|
export function FadeIn({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<motion.div
|
|
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
|
|
animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
|
|
transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}
|
|
>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</motion.div>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Form Component Pattern (TanStack Form)
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
"use client";
|
|
|
|
import { useForm } from "@tanstack/react-form";
|
|
import { z } from "zod";
|
|
import { Button } from "@/shared/components/ui/button";
|
|
import { Input } from "@/shared/components/ui/input";
|
|
import { Label } from "@/shared/components/ui/label";
|
|
|
|
const profileSchema = z.object({
|
|
username: z.string().min(2, "Username must be at least 2 characters"),
|
|
email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export function ProfileForm() {
|
|
const form = useForm({
|
|
defaultValues: {
|
|
username: "",
|
|
email: "",
|
|
},
|
|
validators: {
|
|
onChange: profileSchema,
|
|
},
|
|
onSubmit: async ({ value }) => {
|
|
console.log("Form submitted:", value);
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<form
|
|
onSubmit={(e) => {
|
|
e.preventDefault();
|
|
form.handleSubmit();
|
|
}}
|
|
className="space-y-4"
|
|
>
|
|
<form.Field
|
|
name="username"
|
|
children={(field) => (
|
|
<div className="space-y-2">
|
|
<Label htmlFor={field.name}>Username</Label>
|
|
<Input
|
|
id={field.name}
|
|
value={field.state.value}
|
|
onChange={(e) => field.handleChange(e.target.value)}
|
|
onBlur={field.handleBlur}
|
|
placeholder="johndoe"
|
|
/>
|
|
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
|
|
This is your public display name.
|
|
</p>
|
|
{field.state.meta.errors.length > 0 && (
|
|
<p className="text-sm text-destructive">
|
|
{field.state.meta.errors.join(", ")}
|
|
</p>
|
|
)}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)}
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
<form.Field
|
|
name="email"
|
|
children={(field) => (
|
|
<div className="space-y-2">
|
|
<Label htmlFor={field.name}>Email</Label>
|
|
<Input
|
|
id={field.name}
|
|
type="email"
|
|
value={field.state.value}
|
|
onChange={(e) => field.handleChange(e.target.value)}
|
|
onBlur={field.handleBlur}
|
|
placeholder="you@example.com"
|
|
/>
|
|
{field.state.meta.errors.length > 0 && (
|
|
<p className="text-sm text-destructive">
|
|
{field.state.meta.errors.join(", ")}
|
|
</p>
|
|
)}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)}
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
<form.Subscribe
|
|
selector={(state) => [state.canSubmit, state.isSubmitting]}
|
|
children={([canSubmit, isSubmitting]) => (
|
|
<Button type="submit" disabled={!canSubmit}>
|
|
{isSubmitting ? "Submitting..." : "Submit"}
|
|
</Button>
|
|
)}
|
|
/>
|
|
</form>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Design Tokens & Dark Mode (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: For Gesttione-specific projects, use the `gesttione-design-system` skill which provides complete brand color tokens, metric color semantics, and company-specific design patterns.
|
|
|
|
### Color Token System
|
|
|
|
**ALWAYS use CSS custom properties (design tokens) for colors** to ensure proper dark mode support:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
/* app.css or globals.css */
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
|
|
:root {
|
|
/* Base tokens - shadcn/ui compatible */
|
|
--background: oklch(1 0 0);
|
|
--foreground: oklch(0.2338 0.0502 256.4816);
|
|

|
|

|
|
--secondary: oklch(0.6903 0.1187 181.3207);
|
|
--secondary-foreground: oklch(1 0 0);
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
}
|
|
|
|

|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using Design Tokens in Components
|
|
|
|
**ALWAYS use semantic token names, NOT hardcoded colors:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// ✅ Good - Uses design tokens
|
|
<div className="bg-background text-foreground">
|
|
<Card className="bg-card text-card-foreground">
|
|
<h2 className="text-primary">Heading</h2>
|
|
<p className="text-muted-foreground">Description</p>
|
|
<Button className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">Action</Button>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded colors break dark mode
|
|
<div className="bg-white text-black">
|
|
<div className="bg-gray-100 text-gray-900">
|
|
<h2 className="text-blue-600">Heading</h2>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-500">Description</p>
|
|
<button className="bg-blue-600 text-white">Action</button>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Brand Color Scales
|
|
|
|
**Create accessible color scales for brand colors:**
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
/* Brand primary color */
|
|
--brand-primary: #428deb;
|
|
|
|
/* Brand primary scale for accessibility */
|
|
--brand-primary-50: #eff6ff; /* Very light */
|
|
--brand-primary-100: #dbeafe; /* Light */
|
|
--brand-primary-200: #bfdbfe;
|
|
--brand-primary-300: #93c5fd;
|
|
--brand-primary-400: #60a5fa;
|
|
--brand-primary-500: var(--brand-primary); /* Base */

|
|
--color-brand-primary-900: var(--brand-primary-900);
|

|
|

```
|
|
|
|
### Semantic Color Tokens
|
|
|
|
**Use semantic tokens for specific purposes:**
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: For Gesttione projects, use the complete metric color system defined in the `gesttione-design-system` skill, which includes revenue, CMV, purchases, costs, customers, average ticket, and margin percentage with proper semantic naming.
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
/* Example metric/dashboard colors (use gesttione-design-system for Gesttione projects) */
|
|
--metric-revenue: #105186;
|
|
--metric-cost: #ea580c;
|
|
--metric-customers: #0ea5e9;
|
|
--metric-success: #16a34a;
|
|
--metric-warning: #f59e0b;
|
|
--metric-danger: #dc2626;
|
|
|
|
/* Surface colors (backgrounds) using color-mix */
|
|
--metric-revenue-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-revenue) 18%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
--metric-cost-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-cost) 18%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
--metric-success-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-success) 20%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.dark {
|
|
/* Adjust opacity for dark mode */
|
|
--metric-revenue-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-revenue) 28%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
--metric-cost-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-cost) 28%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
--metric-success-surface: color-mix(
|
|
in srgb,
|
|
var(--metric-success) 32%,
|
|
transparent
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@theme inline {
|
|
--color-metric-revenue: var(--metric-revenue);
|
|
--color-metric-revenue-surface: var(--metric-revenue-surface);
|
|
--color-metric-cost: var(--metric-cost);
|
|
--color-metric-cost-surface: var(--metric-cost-surface);
|
|
--color-metric-success: var(--metric-success);
|
|
--color-metric-success-surface: var(--metric-success-surface);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Using semantic tokens for metrics
|
|
<Card className="bg-metric-revenue-surface border-metric-revenue/20">
|
|
<div className="flex items-center gap-2">
|
|
<div className="h-2 w-2 rounded-full bg-metric-revenue" />
|
|
<span className="text-sm font-medium text-metric-revenue">Revenue</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p className="text-2xl font-bold">$125,430</p>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dark Mode Toggle
|
|
|
|
**Implement dark mode toggle with React state and localStorage:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { Moon, Sun } from "lucide-react";
|
|
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
|
|
import { Button } from "@/shared/components/ui/button";
|
|
|
|
export function ThemeToggle() {
|
|
const [theme, setTheme] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
// Read theme from localStorage on mount
|
|
const savedTheme = localStorage.getItem("theme") as "light" | "dark" | null;
|
|
const prefersDark = window.matchMedia(
|
|
"(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"
|
|
).matches;
|
|
const initialTheme = savedTheme || (prefersDark ? "dark" : "light");
|
|
|
|
setTheme(initialTheme);
|
|
document.documentElement.classList.toggle("dark", initialTheme === "dark");
|
|
}, []);
|
|
|
|
const toggleTheme = () => {
|
|
const newTheme = theme === "dark" ? "light" : "dark";
|
|
setTheme(newTheme);
|
|
localStorage.setItem("theme", newTheme);
|
|
document.documentElement.classList.toggle("dark", newTheme === "dark");
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<Button
|
|
variant="ghost"
|
|
size="icon"
|
|
onClick={toggleTheme}
|
|
aria-label="Toggle theme"
|
|
>
|
|
<Sun className="h-5 w-5 rotate-0 scale-100 transition-all dark:-rotate-90 dark:scale-0" />
|
|
<Moon className="absolute h-5 w-5 rotate-90 scale-0 transition-all dark:rotate-0 dark:scale-100" />
|
|
<span className="sr-only">Toggle theme</span>
|
|
</Button>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Theme Context Provider (Optional)
|
|
|
|
**For more advanced theme management, create a custom context:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// src/providers/theme-provider.tsx
|
|
import {
|
|
createContext,
|
|
useContext,
|
|
useEffect,
|
|
useState,
|
|
type ReactNode,
|
|
} from "react";
|
|
|
|
type Theme = "light" | "dark" | "system";
|
|
|
|
interface ThemeContextType {
|
|
theme: Theme;
|
|
setTheme: (theme: Theme) => void;
|
|
resolvedTheme: "light" | "dark";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const ThemeContext = createContext<ThemeContextType | undefined>(undefined);
|
|
|
|
export function ThemeProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
const [theme, setThemeState] = useState<Theme>("system");
|
|
const [resolvedTheme, setResolvedTheme] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
const savedTheme = (localStorage.getItem("theme") as Theme) || "system";
|
|
setThemeState(savedTheme);
|
|
}, []);
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
const root = document.documentElement;
|
|
const applyTheme = (newTheme: "light" | "dark") => {
|
|
root.classList.remove("light", "dark");
|
|
root.classList.add(newTheme);
|
|
setResolvedTheme(newTheme);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
if (theme === "system") {
|
|
const prefersDark = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)");
|
|
applyTheme(prefersDark.matches ? "dark" : "light");
|
|
|
|
const listener = (e: MediaQueryListEvent) => {
|
|
applyTheme(e.matches ? "dark" : "light");
|
|
};
|
|
prefersDark.addEventListener("change", listener);
|
|
return () => prefersDark.removeEventListener("change", listener);
|
|
} else {
|
|
applyTheme(theme);
|
|
}
|
|
}, [theme]);
|
|
|
|
const setTheme = (newTheme: Theme) => {
|
|
setThemeState(newTheme);
|
|
localStorage.setItem("theme", newTheme);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<ThemeContext.Provider value={{ theme, setTheme, resolvedTheme }}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</ThemeContext.Provider>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export function useTheme() {
|
|
const context = useContext(ThemeContext);
|
|
if (!context) throw new Error("useTheme must be used within ThemeProvider");
|
|
return context;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// src/main.tsx
|
|
import { StrictMode } from "react";
|
|
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
|
|
import { ThemeProvider } from "./providers/theme-provider";
|
|
import App from "./App";
|
|
import "./index.css";
|
|
|
|
createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!).render(
|
|
<StrictMode>
|
|
<ThemeProvider>
|
|
<App />
|
|
</ThemeProvider>
|
|
</StrictMode>
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Color Accessibility Guidelines
|
|
|
|
**ALWAYS ensure proper contrast ratios:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Normal text (< 18px)**: 4.5:1 contrast ratio (AA), 7:1 (AAA)
|
|
2. **Large text (≥ 18px)**: 3:1 contrast ratio (AA), 4.5:1 (AAA)
|
|
3. **UI components**: 3:1 contrast ratio (AA)
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// ✅ Good - Accessible color combinations
|
|
<div className="bg-background text-foreground">
|
|
<Button className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">
|
|
Accessible Button
|
|
</Button>
|
|
<p className="text-muted-foreground">Accessible muted text</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
// ❌ Bad - Poor contrast
|
|
<div className="bg-gray-100">
|
|
<button className="bg-gray-300 text-gray-400">
|
|
Low contrast button
|
|
</button>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Typography Tokens
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
--font-sans: Geist, ui-sans-serif, sans-serif, system-ui;
|
|
--font-serif: Lora, ui-serif, serif;
|
|
--font-mono: Geist Mono, ui-monospace, monospace;
|
|
|
|
--tracking-normal: -0.025em;
|
|
--tracking-tight: calc(var(--tracking-normal) - 0.025em);
|
|
--tracking-wide: calc(var(--tracking-normal) + 0.025em);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@theme inline {
|
|
--font-sans: var(--font-sans);
|
|
--font-serif: var(--font-serif);
|
|
--font-mono: var(--font-mono);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Spacing & Radius Tokens
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
--radius: 0.625rem; /* 10px base */
|
|
--spacing: 0.26rem; /* 4px base */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@theme inline {
|
|
--radius-sm: calc(var(--radius) - 4px);
|
|
--radius-md: calc(var(--radius) - 2px);
|
|
--radius-lg: var(--radius);
|
|
--radius-xl: calc(var(--radius) + 4px);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Using radius tokens
|
|
<Card className="rounded-lg">
|
|
{" "}
|
|
{/* uses --radius-lg */}
|
|
<div className="rounded-md border">
|
|
{" "}
|
|
{/* uses --radius-md */}
|
|
Content
|
|
</div>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Layout Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Dashboard Layout
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<div className="flex min-h-screen">
|
|
{/* Sidebar */}
|
|
<aside className="hidden w-64 border-r bg-muted/40 lg:block">
|
|
<nav className="flex flex-col gap-2 p-4">{/* Navigation items */}</nav>
|
|
</aside>
|
|
|
|
{/* Main Content */}
|
|
<div className="flex flex-1 flex-col">
|
|
{/* Header */}
|
|
<header className="sticky top-0 z-10 border-b bg-background">
|
|
<div className="flex h-16 items-center gap-4 px-4">
|
|
{/* Header content */}
|
|
</div>
|
|
</header>
|
|
|
|
{/* Content */}
|
|
<main className="flex-1 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8">{/* Page content */}</main>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Centered Container
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
<div className="container mx-auto max-w-7xl px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
|
|
<div className="py-8 md:py-12 lg:py-16">{/* Content */}</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Critical Rules
|
|
|
|
**NEVER:**
|
|
|
|
- Use inline styles (use Tailwind classes)
|
|
- Hardcode colors (use design tokens: `bg-background`, NOT `bg-white`)
|
|
- Use arbitrary color values (`bg-[#fff]`) without defining tokens first
|
|
- Skip accessibility attributes on interactive elements
|
|
- Ignore mobile breakpoints
|
|
- Use `any` type in TypeScript
|
|
- Create components without TypeScript interfaces
|
|
- Forget dark mode variants (test in both light and dark modes)
|
|
- Use fixed pixel widths for responsive elements
|
|
- Skip semantic HTML
|
|
- Use hardcoded hex colors that break dark mode
|
|
|
|
**ALWAYS:**
|
|
|
|
- Use design tokens for ALL colors (`bg-primary`, `text-foreground`, etc.)
|
|
- Define custom colors as CSS variables in `:root` and `.dark` selectors
|
|
- Map CSS variables to Tailwind with `@theme inline`
|
|
- Start with mobile-first design
|
|
- Use shadcn/ui components when available
|
|
- Apply `cn()` utility for conditional classes
|
|
- Include proper TypeScript types for props
|
|
- Add ARIA attributes for accessibility
|
|
- Test keyboard navigation
|
|
- Provide focus states
|
|
- Use semantic HTML elements
|
|
- Support both light and dark modes with proper tokens
|
|
- Ensure color contrast ratios meet WCAG AA standards (4.5:1 for text)
|
|
- Create color scales (50-900) for brand colors
|
|
- Use `color-mix()` for surface/background variants
|
|
- Extract reusable patterns
|
|
- Document complex component logic
|
|
- Follow React best practices
|
|
|
|
## Deliverables
|
|
|
