Philosophy - Duaminggu/Taberin-UI GitHub Wiki
Taberin UI is built on the principle of creating modular, intuitive, and developer-friendly components. Our philosophy emphasizes clarity, flexibility, and maintainability by minimizing dynamic behaviors within components and focusing on modularity.
A Modular Approach
Instead of relying on dynamic logic through types or variants within a single component, Taberin UI adopts a modular approach where each variant or functionality is split into its own dedicated component. This ensures that each component serves a clear and distinct purpose, reducing complexity for developers.
For example:
- Previously, a
Message
component might handle multiple variants (e.g.,base
,list
,icon
) through type-based logic. - In our modular approach, these are now separated into distinct components:
- Message: A standard message component.
- ListMessage: Specifically for list-style messages.
- IconMessage: Includes an icon for enriched communication.
- CustomMessage: Fully customizable, giving developers control over children and content.
Why Minimize Dynamic Behaviors?
Dynamic behaviors, while powerful, can add unnecessary complexity to a codebase. By reducing these behaviors and focusing on dedicated components, Taberin UI achieves:
- Improved Readability: Each component is easier to understand and use without relying on excessive configuration or dynamic logic.
- Simpler Maintenance: Modularity reduces the risk of breaking changes and simplifies debugging and updates.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Developers can customize and compose components more effectively, especially with customizable options like
CustomMessage
.
Key Principles of Taberin UI
- Simplicity: Components should be easy to use with minimal configuration.
- Modularity: Each component should serve a clear purpose without overloading with options or variants.
- Extensibility: Developers should have the ability to extend or customize components for unique use cases.
- Consistency: A predictable structure and behavior across all components.
Looking Ahead
This philosophy guides the ongoing development of Taberin UI. By adhering to these principles, we aim to:
- Continuously expand the library with more modular components.
- Maintain a clear and cohesive structure across the library.
- Empower developers to create flexible and scalable user interfaces with minimal overhead.
Taberin UI’s philosophy will evolve alongside the needs of its users, but the core focus remains the same: building intuitive, modular, and powerful components that developers love.
