Framework-Agnostic UI – The Tuix WebComponents Library

Architecture Overview

🎨 Component-First, Framework-Agnostic

Tuix Web Components is a UI library built with native Web Components, designed to integrate seamlessly into any frontend framework --- including React, Vue, Angular, and plain HTML. The library is based on the Atomic Design methodology, allowing developers to build UIs from standardized atoms, molecules, and organisms.

πŸŒ— Theme-Aware and Fully Responsive

Each component adapts to light and dark themes using a well-defined color palette. All elements are fully responsive, supporting desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts with no additional configuration required.

πŸ”„ Continuous Integration and Delivery

The release workflow includes CI/CD pipelines that check for style and test correctness, then automatically publish new versions to NPM and generate web bundles for direct browser usage.

Technology Stack

🧠 Component Development

  • Web Standards: Web Components

  • Design System: Based on Atomic Design principles

🎨 Styling & Theming

  • CSS Variables: Used for theme switching (dark/light)

πŸ“¦ Packaging

  • NPM: Published as npm: tuix-webcomponents

  • Web Bundle: Generated for direct <script> usage

πŸ”„ DevOps

  • CI/CD Pipeline: Validates code style, runs tests, builds package and web bundle

  • Automated Release: Deploys to NPM and public asset hosting on merge

Why This Stack and Architecture

  • Web Components β†’ Natively supported in browsers and agnostic of frameworks --- a future-proof, reusable solution for cross-project UI consistency

  • Atomic Design β†’ Ensures components are modular, scalable, and easy to compose

  • NPM + Web Bundle β†’ Supports both modern app frameworks and traditional HTML use cases

  • CI/CD Workflow β†’ Reduces human error, speeds up delivery, and ensures consistency

  • Theming System β†’ A shared color palette provides visual consistency across products and even branded merchandise

Feature Highlights

  • Framework-Agnostic Usage Components can be consumed via NPM in modern SPAs (React, Vue, Angular) or embedded directly into static HTML via script tags offering maximum flexibility.

  • Atomic UI Building Blocks Each UI element is crafted as a reusable atom, molecule or organism with well-documented props, state variations, and responsive behaviors.

  • Built-In Theme Support Components auto-adapt to dark or light themes.

  • Public Documentation with Storybook We use Storybook to document each component visually. Developers can explore variations, live-edit props, and view previews of every component state --- making onboarding and integration fast and intuitive.

  • Streamlined Publishing Workflow Every push to the mainbranch of the repository automatically triggers the following sequence via the CI/CD pipeline:

    • Validation -- Linting, type checks, and tests are run to ensure code quality.

    • Bundling -- The application is compiled and packaged using esbuild.

    • Version Bumping -- A new version is automatically calculated and applied using semantic versioning.

    • Publishing --

      • A new version is released to npm (Node Package Manager).

      • The public web bundle is uploaded to AWS S3 bucket.

    No manual intervention is required for any step --- the full process is triggered solely by a push to to the main branch.

Challenges & Lessons Learned

  • Cross-Framework Compatibility Designing components that worked consistently in React, Vue, and Angular required careful testing and standardization around lifecycle events and property binding.

  • Theme & Responsiveness Supporting dark/light themes and multiple screen sizes required a robust approach to styling. Using CSS variables and design tokens helped centralize control.

  • Release Automation Building a smooth CI/CD pipeline that handled tests, bundling, and dual publishing (NPM + standalone) was key to developer confidence and fast iteration.
