#react design systems

Karen discusses measuring the coverage of a design system using React Scanner. The tool helps analyze code and extract component details, allowing for the measurement of component usage and identification of patterns. The analysis also reveals anti-patterns in the design system consumption. By restructuring components, data-driven decisions can be made to optimize component usage at a route level and address anti-patterns.

This Talk discusses design systems and how to build one using React and Tailwind CSS. Tailwind CSS provides utility classes for building complex layouts without writing CSS rules. Custom colors can be added to the Tailwind CSS config file, and font styles and text sizes can be customized. The entire Tailwind CSS configuration can be customized to meet specific requirements. Base styles can be added to the config file itself using a plugin. Reusable components can be created with Tailwind CSS, allowing for easy customization of size and color.
