Applying Atomic Design to your Next.js project
Blog post from LogRocket
As CSS projects expand, maintaining their complexity becomes challenging, but methodologies like Atomic Design can help create modular, reusable, and scalable code. Atomic Design, inspired by chemistry, organizes UI components into a hierarchy of atoms, molecules, organisms, templates, and pages, facilitating scalability and consistency. The article exemplifies this methodology by constructing a blog page within a Next.js application, detailing the step-by-step creation of components such as a title atom, navbar molecule, and blog content molecule, and combining them into a blog container organism and layout template. This approach not only enhances the structure and maintainability of web projects but also offers a framework applicable to broader design systems, exemplifying the utility of Atomic Design in both web development and UI/UX design.
