Analogy
Like Lego bricks that snap together in various ways to build different structures, modular UI components let developers mix and match pieces to create diverse screens.
Definition
A design approach where user interface elements are built as reusable, self‑contained modules that can be assembled in different configurations to create consistent, maintainable dApp frontends.
Key Points Intro
Modular UI components enable scalable, consistent, and maintainable user interfaces.
Key Points
Reusability: Components encapsulate markup, styles, and behavior for repeated use.
Consistency: Shared design tokens and props enforce uniform look-and-feel.
Composability: Small components combine to form complex views.
Maintainability: Isolated modules simplify testing and updates.
Example
A dApp library provides a ``, ``, and `` components that can be dropped into any page.
Technical Deep Dive
Implement components in React with props for theming via Tailwind CSS classes. Use Storybook for isolated development and documentation. Each component includes accessibility attributes (ARIA) and unit tests via Jest.
Caveat
Over‑modularization can lead to excessive abstraction and cognitive overhead for new developers.
