Implementation Details

🚀 5-Minute Quickstart

1. Verify Installation

# Check files are created
ls -la src/design-system/
# Should show: components, tokens, utils, types, __tests__, stories

2. Test Imports

# In your TypeScript file
import {
  Button,
  Card,
  Input,
  Modal,
  Toast,
  colors,
  spacing,
} from '@/design-system';

3. Use a Component

import { Button } from '@/design-system';

<Button
  label="Save Changes"
  variant="primary"
  onPress={() => handleSave()}
  accessibilityLabel="Save subscription changes"
/>

4. Use Tokens

import { spacing, typography, colors } from '@/design-system/tokens';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    padding: spacing.md,
    gap: spacing.lg,
  },
  title: {
    ...typography.h2,
    color: colors.primary,
  },
});

5. Run Storybook (Optional)

npm run storybook
# Open http://localhost:6006
# View component documentation and examples

🎯 Integration Plan

Week 1-2: Migration

  1. Update imports in high-impact screens
  2. Replace color hardcoding with tokens
  3. Replace spacing hardcoding with tokens
  4. Add accessibility labels

Week 2-3: Testing

  1. Run unit tests
  2. Run E2E tests
  3. Manual accessibility testing
  4. Visual regression testing

Week 3-4: Documentation

  1. Add Storybook stories

🚦 Next Steps

  1. Read DESIGN_SYSTEM_SETUP.md (10 minutes)
  2. Review DESIGN_SYSTEM.md (20 minutes)
  3. Start with one screen - Update imports and use design system components
  4. Run tests to verify accessibility and functionality
  5. Scale across app - Gradually migrate other screens

💡 Pro Tips

  • Start with high-impact screens for maximum benefit
  • Always add accessibilityLabel to interactive elements
  • Use design tokens instead of hardcoding values
  • Check Storybook for component examples: npm run storybook
  • Verify accessibility with VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android)
