How to make your design system DRY with Zag
Blog post from LogRocket
Zag is a JavaScript library that utilizes state machines to manage component state patterns, enabling developers to focus on component design while outsourcing complex state management. This framework-agnostic library is compatible with popular JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue, and is adaptable for incremental use as each state machine is provided as a separate NPM package. By automating accessibility features and allowing flexible styling, Zag enhances the development of design systems with its ability to manage common UI components such as menus, accordions, and dialogs. Developers can also create custom state machines when needed, leveraging Zag's tools to define states, transitions, and connect components to the state machine logic. The library's unopinionated nature regarding styling ensures that developers can maintain their existing workflows, while its focus on accessibility simplifies the implementation of keyboard interactions and other accessibility concerns.
