Core Responsibilities

// Question: "How do I show a success message?"
// Answer: Use s-banner or s-toast

// Persistent message
<s-banner tone="success">Product saved successfully</s-banner>

// Temporary notification
<s-toast open tone="success">Product saved</s-toast>

2. Component Usage

Provide correct usage patterns with all relevant properties.

// Text field with validation
<s-text-field
  label="Product title"
  name="title"
  value={title}
  error={errors.title}
  required
  placeholder="Enter product title"
  helpText="This will be visible to customers"
/>

3. Responsive Layouts

Guide on building responsive UIs with Polaris components.

// Mobile-first grid
<s-grid columns="1" md-columns="2" lg-columns="3">
  <s-box>Column 1</s-box>
  <s-box>Column 2</s-box>
  <s-box>Column 3</s-box>
</s-grid>

4. Accessibility

Ensure components are used accessibly.

// Proper ARIA labels
<s-icon-button
  icon="delete"
  aria-label="Delete product"
  onClick={handleDelete}
/>

// Semantic headings
<s-heading as="h2">Product Details</s-heading>

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Form with Validation

<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
  <s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
    <s-text-field
      label="Title"
      name="title"
      value={form.title}
      error={errors.title}
      required
    />

    <s-select
      label="Category"
      name="category"
      value={form.category}
      options={[
        { label: "Apparel", value: "apparel" },
        { label: "Electronics", value: "electronics" },
      ]}
    />

    <s-checkbox
      label="Active"
      name="active"
      checked={form.active}
    />

    <s-button-group>
      <s-button type="submit" variant="primary">Save</s-button>
      <s-button type="button">Cancel</s-button>
    </s-button-group>
  </s-stack>
</form>

Pattern 2: Card with Actions

<s-card>
  <s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
    <s-heading>Product Settings</s-heading>
    <s-text tone="subdued">
      Configure how this product appears in your store
    </s-text>

    <s-divider />

    <s-checkbox label="Show in online store" />
    <s-checkbox label="Enable reviews" />

    <s-button-group>
      <s-button variant="primary">Save Settings</s-button>
    </s-button-group>
  </s-stack>
</s-card>

Pattern 3: Data Table

<s-table>
  <s-table-head>
    <s-table-row>
      <s-table-cell as="th">Product</s-table-cell>
      <s-table-cell as="th">Price</s-table-cell>
      <s-table-cell as="th">Status</s-table-cell>
      <s-table-cell as="th">Actions</s-table-cell>
    </s-table-row>
  </s-table-head>
  <s-table-body>
    {products.map(product => (
      <s-table-row key={product.id}>
        <s-table-cell>{product.title}</s-table-cell>
        <s-table-cell>${product.price}</s-table-cell>
        <s-table-cell>
          <s-badge tone={product.active ? "success" : undefined}>
            {product.active ? "Active" : "Draft"}
          </s-badge>
        </s-table-cell>
        <s-table-cell>
          <s-button-group>
            <s-button variant="plain">Edit</s-button>
            <s-button variant="plain" tone="critical">Delete</s-button>
          </s-button-group>
        </s-table-cell>
      </s-table-row>
    ))}
  </s-table-body>
</s-table>

Pattern 4: Loading States

{isLoading ? (
  <s-card>
    <s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
      <s-skeleton-display-text />
      <s-skeleton-display-text />
      <s-skeleton-display-text />
    </s-stack>
  </s-card>
) : (
  <s-card>
    {/* Actual content */}
  </s-card>
)}

Pattern 5: Empty States

{products.length === 0 ? (
  <s-empty-state
    heading="No products yet"
    image="https://cdn.shopify.com/..."
  >
    <s-text>Start by adding your first product</s-text>
    <s-button variant="primary" url="/products/new">
      Add Product
    </s-button>
  </s-empty-state>
) : (
  // Product list
)}

Component Reference Workflow

When asked about a component:

  1. Check Documentation - Reference polaris-web-components/components/[category]/[component].md
  2. Provide Examples - Show practical usage from documentation
  3. Explain Properties - List all relevant attributes and their purposes
  4. Show Variants - Demonstrate different states and configurations
  5. Accessibility - Highlight accessibility features

Best Practices

  1. Use Semantic HTML - Use as prop for proper HTML elements
  2. Proper Spacing - Use s-stack and s-section for consistent spacing
  3. Responsive Design - Use responsive props (md-, lg-)
  4. Accessibility - Always provide labels and ARIA attributes
  5. Design Tokens - Use Polaris tokens for colors, spacing, typography
  6. Event Handling - Use data attributes for SSR compatibility
  7. Loading States - Always show skeleton loaders during data fetch
  8. Error States - Display clear error messages with error prop
  9. Empty States - Provide guidance when no data exists
  10. Consistency - Follow Polaris patterns throughout the app

Checklist

  • Used appropriate Polaris component
  • Set all required properties
  • Added proper labels and descriptions
  • Implemented error handling
  • Added loading states
  • Ensured accessibility (ARIA, keyboard nav)
  • Tested responsive behavior
