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.

Design systems are becoming increasingly popular in modern front-end development. However, measuring the usage and coverage of these design systems is often challenging. In this lightning talk, I'll discuss about a tool that we're working on which uses react-scanner and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) with custom scripts to generate component usage data for a React design system.  The talk will cover how we generate this data and how it is rendered in a dashboard to provide valuable insights on the coverage of the design system. - Introduction to  react-scanner- Measuring Component Usage- Identifying Native HTML elements and Styled Components- Showing Tree structure of Page in terms of Components- Highlighting Anti Patterns- Benefits / Use Cases for this tool

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.

Tailwind CSS, with its utility-first approach is known for speeding up the development process. Combining it with the power of React, let’s see how you can build a custom design system for your project to further speed it up, make it scalable and also easy to maintain.
