Component libraries and token docs
Design system pages that document tokens, components, and usage guidelines with clarity.
Design systems succeed when documentation is consistent. This collection highlights layouts that map tokens, components, and usage guidelines in a scannable way.
Each design emphasizes clear navigation, visual examples, and copy-ready guidelines.
- Component pages with usage guidance and variants.
- Token documentation with clear naming rules.
- Navigation that scales with hundreds of components.

Design System & Component Libraries Collection
This collection features design system and component library pages optimized for developer adoption. Each design applies documentation clarity principles: component previews, prop specifications, usage examples, and accessibility guidance. These are not generic style guides but developer-focused design systems.
All design system pages use Tailwind CSS with syntax-highlighted code blocks, live component previews, and responsive layouts. React components handle code copying, theme switching, and interactive examples. Use these as templates for internal design systems, open-source UI libraries, or component documentation.
- Component previews: live interactive examples with variant demonstrations
- Prop documentation: list all props with types, defaults, and descriptions
- Usage examples: show code snippets for common implementation patterns
- Accessibility guidance: include ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and WCAG compliance
- Copy functionality: one-click code copying for component examples

Documenting design systems for developer adoption
A high-quality design system page includes four components: live preview, prop list, usage code, and accessibility notes. The preview shows the component in action with variant toggles. The prop list specifies all available properties with types and defaults. Usage code provides copy-paste examples. Accessibility notes explain keyboard navigation and ARIA requirements.
Weak design system docs fail because they omit one of these elements or provide generic descriptions without specifics. Developers need working code, not conceptual explanations. Every component should include runnable examples that can be copied directly into projects.
- Show live preview: render component with interactive variant switcher.
- List props with types: include property name, type, default, and description.
- Provide usage examples: show code snippets for common patterns.
- Include accessibility: explain keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and focus management.
- Support code copying: add copy button to all code examples.
Common design system documentation mistakes
The most damaging mistake is omitting code examples. If developers must guess at implementation details, they will not adopt your design system. Every component should include at least one working code example with expected output.
Another frequent error is poor prop documentation. Listing props without types or defaults forces developers to inspect source code. Instead, create a structured table with property name, type, default value, and description.
- Do not omit code examples; every component needs runnable sample code.
- Do not skip prop documentation; list types, defaults, and descriptions.
- Do not hide accessibility notes; explain keyboard navigation and ARIA requirements.
- Do not ignore variants; show all component states (default, hover, disabled, error).
- Do not forget theming; demonstrate how components adapt to color or size tokens.
FAQs
Should I include Figma files with my design system documentation?
Yes, link to Figma library from component docs to support designer-developer handoff.
How should I document component variants?
Show a live preview, list props with types, include do/don't usage examples, and link to accessibility guidelines.
Should design systems include dark mode variants?
Yes, if your product supports dark mode. Show theme switcher and document color token mappings.
Best Practices
Rules for applying these patterns
Usage clarity
Document when to use each component and include “avoid” notes.
Token taxonomy
Group tokens by category and provide usage examples.
Variant coverage
Show interactive examples for states and sizes.
Navigation scale
Use clear side navigation with search for fast access.
