## Pattern Components Reference

For detailed pattern documentation, see:
- `polaris-web-components/patterns/compositions/` - All composition patterns
- `polaris-web-components/patterns/templates/` - Complete page templates

### Quick Pattern Reference

| Pattern | File | Use Case |
|---------|------|----------|
| Index Table | `index-table.md` | Product lists, order lists |
| Settings | `settings.md` | App configuration pages |
| Homepage | `homepage.md` | Dashboard layouts |
| Empty State | `empty-state.md` | No content states |
| Metrics Card | `metrics-card.md` | KPI displays |
| Resource List | `resource-list.md` | Filterable lists |
| Setup Guide | `setup-guide.md` | Onboarding flows |

## Best Practices

1. **Follow Templates** - Use established templates for common pages
2. **Consistent Layout** - Maintain consistent structure across pages
3. **Progressive Disclosure** - Show advanced options only when needed
4. **Clear Hierarchy** - Use sections to organize content logically
5. **Actionable CTAs** - Make primary actions obvious
6. **Empty States** - Always provide guidance when no data exists
7. **Loading States** - Show skeletons during data fetch
8. **Error Handling** - Display clear, actionable error messages
9. **Mobile Responsive** - All patterns work on mobile devices
10. **Accessibility** - Ensure keyboard navigation and screen readers work

**Remember**: Using established patterns improves UX consistency and reduces development time.
