ADR-012: Frontend Component Library and Design System
Date: 2025-12-12
Status: Proposed
Context
The frontend is built with React, but there is no formal strategy for component reuse, styling consistency, or UI documentation. As more features are added, this can lead to a fragmented user experience, duplicated effort, and a codebase that is difficult to maintain.
Decision
We will establish a formal Design System and Component Library. This will involve using a tool like Storybook to develop, document, and test UI components in isolation. It will establish clear guidelines for styling, theming (e.g., dark mode), and accessibility.
Consequences
- Positive: Ensures a consistent and high-quality user interface. Accelerates frontend development by providing reusable, well-documented components. Improves maintainability and reduces technical debt.
- Negative: Requires an initial investment in setting up Storybook and migrating existing components. Adds a new dependency and a new workflow for frontend development.
