What is Composability for Websites?
Blog post from Prismic
Composability in web development is a design approach that emphasizes the creation of interchangeable and reusable components, akin to Lego bricks, to build websites and applications. This method allows developers to efficiently assemble existing components into new configurations, promoting a more agile development process and providing a consistent user experience. The key principles of composability include modularity, autonomy, orchestration, and discoverability, ensuring that components are small, self-contained, seamlessly integrated, and easily located. Implementing composability involves planning, building, and testing, with a focus on both frontend and backend development, to maintain stable, predictable, and reliable systems. Automated and manual testing, using tools like Storybook and Jest, is crucial to ensure the components function cohesively, while Atomic Design principles can guide the creation of components.
