Component-Driven UX

Introduction

Component-Driven UX focuses on creating user experiences through reusable components. This approach emphasizes modularity, maintainability, and scalability in front-end architecture.

Key Concepts

**Reusability**: Components can be used across different parts of the application.
**Isolation**: Each component operates independently, reducing the impact of changes.
**Composition**: Larger components can be constructed using smaller, simpler components.
**Interoperability**: Components can interact seamlessly with each other.

Best Practices

Design components with a single responsibility.
Utilize props and state effectively for dynamic behavior.
Maintain clear documentation for each component.
Implement style encapsulation to avoid global styles interference.

Step-by-Step Process

Building a Simple Button Component


function Button({ label, onClick }) {
    return (
        <button onClick={onClick}>
            {label}
        </button>
    );
}

This button component can be reused throughout your application. You can customize it by passing different labels and click handlers.

FAQ

What is a component in front-end development?

A component is a self-contained piece of UI that can be reused throughout an application.

Why is component-driven design important?

It enhances maintainability, allows for better collaboration, and improves the development speed by reusing components.

How do I choose what components to create?

Look for repeated patterns in your UI and abstract them into reusable components.
