Shared Components

The design system behind the u22a8 console: tokens, primitives, composites and the three page shells.

What is in it​

  • Foundations — one warm-neutral palette in light and dark, a type scale, spacing and radius. Everything reads from tokens, so a theme change is one file.
  • Primitives — buttons, fields, tables, dialogs, menus and the rest, built on shadcn/ui over Base UI.
  • Composites — the pieces a page is actually made of: PageHeader, DataTable, FilterBar, EmptyState, SecretField, Banner, SettingRow.
  • Layouts — ConsoleShell for product pages, SettingsShell for administration, FocusShell for sign-in and onboarding.

Browse it in Storybook, which also carries the design rules as documentation pages.

Principles​

  • Type-safe — full TypeScript, with prop types derived from the primitives.
  • Accessible — Base UI primitives, and specs that assert roles rather than class names.
  • Themed, not styled — components never hard-code a colour; they read tokens, so light and dark come free and stay in step.
  • Composed, not copied — a page assembles exports. Reaching for bespoke markup is the signal that something belongs in here instead.

See Component Architecture for how to add one.
