In this course, you will learn exactly how complex and large scale design systems can be converted to fully functioning ReactJS components. Throughout the course, you will learn how professional tech companies implement their design systems and how you can do the same. Following best practices, a design system will be converted from Figma to isolated components using Storybook. At the end of the course, you will create a fully responsive ReactJS app with your self-built component library. You will be able to convert any design system into accessible and functional components adhering to the exact guidelines of the design system.
The learning by doing approach in this course puts you in place of an actual software engineer. Starting at relatively simple assignments you will work your way up to more complex and useful components. In doing so, you will automatically become more comfortable in overcoming obstacles as you would also have working in the field.
Content of this course: 3+ hours of video lectures, 10 assignments and 1 project assignment.
Tech stack: ReactJS, TypeScript, Storybook, TailwindCSS.
The following components are available in our design system and will be implemented during the video lessons:
Typography
Button Group
Paginate
Badge
Button
Select
TextInput
Navbar (contains sub-navigation)
MobileNavbar
RentalCard
Each component has a dark mode variant and can have multiple states such as hover, focused and disabled. TailwindCSS will be used to rapidly build out the UI components without having to leave our ReactJS components. An additional set of bonus components are available in the design system for you to implement such as Checkbox, Toggle, Radio and Tooltip. All components are created by keeping the quality characteristics such as reusability, robustness and extendability in mind.
TypeScript: fully typed components
All components will be fully typed to prevent consumers of the library in violating the guidelines of the design system. TypeScript's most relevant features will be taught like basic types, custom types, interfaces, generics and Record.
Build & consume: going to production
The component library will be optimised for production. All of the components will be minimised to 360kb in total size, so when you are using the components in the sample project the page will load incredibly fast.
Future updates included
More content will become available in the future. I might redo some videos to improve on the quality. Learning materials can be changed in the future as well. All future updates are included.
