Master React, Vue, and Svelte component patterns including CSS-in-JS, composition strategies, and reusable component architecture. Use when building UI component libraries, designing component APIs, or implementing frontend design systems.

Web Component Design

Build reusable, maintainable UI components using modern frameworks with clean composition patterns and styling approaches.

When to Use This Skill

Designing reusable component libraries or design systems
Implementing complex component composition patterns
Choosing and applying CSS-in-JS solutions
Building accessible, responsive UI components
Creating consistent component APIs across a codebase
Refactoring legacy components into modern patterns
Implementing compound components or render props

Core Concepts

1. Component Composition Patterns

Compound Components: Related components that work together

// Usage
<Select value={value} onChange={setValue}>
  <Select.Trigger>Choose option</Select.Trigger>

Solution	Approach	Best For
Tailwind CSS	Utility classes	Rapid prototyping, design systems
CSS Modules	Scoped CSS files	Existing CSS, gradual adoption
styled-components	Template literals	React, dynamic styling
Emotion	Object/template styles	Flexible, SSR-friendly
Vanilla Extract	Zero-runtime	Performance-critical apps
