Component checklist (required for any change under packages/ui/src/)

Philosophy (guidelines)

  • Variants represent meaningful roles (purpose), not one-off visual styling
  • All applicable states handled: default, hover, active, selected, focus, disabled, loading, invalid, read-only
  • Accessibility encoded in component: keyboard, focus, labels, ARIA (not left to consumer)
  • Complex behaviours split into composable patterns, not crammed into conflicting props
  • Escape hatches minimized; CSS overrides are last resort (if exception recurs, evolve the component)

Structure (guidelines)

  • Directory is kebab-case under packages/ui/src/, matches the export subpath
  • index.ts only re-exports (+ generated token region); export type * plus explicit named exports
  • Relative imports use the .js extension; types imported with import type
  • Subcomponents in subcomponents/, opinionated compositions in presets/
  • All four lists updated: src/index.ts, vite.config.ts, package.json exports, README.md + intro.mdx
  • New runtime deps added to externalPatterns

CSS (guidelines)

  • {name}.module.scss, no Tailwind, no CVA, no Sass variables
  • Every overridable value is var(--{component}-x, <design token>); no hardcoded values
  • No literal fallback on a design token (var(--spacing-4, 8px)); a bare literal only where no token matches
  • Colours use semantic tokens only, with no --bg-* / --text-* primitives referenced from a component
  • Values that must not be overridden use --{component}-internal-*
  • No --x: var(--x) and no duplicated variable definitions
  • Variants are data-* attributes; data-slot and data-testid on the root
  • color-mix() for derived shades, never rgba() over a token
  • :hover, :focus-visible, aria-invalid, disabled all styled
  • Transitions use the component's duration/easing tokens and are disabled under @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)
  • pnpm run tokens run and the index.ts region committed

Visual QA (guidelines)

  • Compared against the Figma frame side by side: spacing, sizes, colours, every state
  • Figma frame linked from the story via parameters.design
  • Checked in light and dark
  • Sizing and density consistent with sibling components (sm matches Button / Input)
  • Typography via Typography or the type-scale tokens, not an ad-hoc font-size / font-weight
  • Icons from @signozhq/icons, sized with tokens, no inline SVG with hardcoded px
  • Every state built: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, invalid, selected, empty, long/truncated
  • Not a duplicate of an existing primitive or preset

Types (guidelines)

  • {Component}Props exported; only the props the component actually needs are exposed
  • Upstream-owned prop types borrowed by indexed access (OriginalProps['x']), never restated by hand
  • Every type named by a public prop is exported from index.ts
  • forwardRef with a named render function (or displayName); testId supported
  • Defaults in the destructuring; controlled/uncontrolled naming follows Radix

Docs (guidelines)

  • JSDoc on every public prop, with @default where applicable
  • Story file per exported component (@access private ones exempt), correct title group
  • argTypes complete with category, type.summary, defaultValue.summary
  • Stories for every meaningful state, not just the happy path
  • {component}.mdx with a usage snippet and a <Controls> per exported piece

Tests (guidelines)

  • Behaviour test per interactive prop
  • forward-ref test
  • run-visual-testing label added if the change is visual
pnpm lint
pnpm run type-check
pnpm build
pnpm -F @signozhq/ui test:run
