Patterns Introduction

Patterns define repeatable interaction structures across multiple components. Use these pages to align composition, state behavior, and feedback clarity before implementing feature-specific variations.

Prerequisites

- A UX flow that defines user intent, state changes, and failure paths.
- Selected Diwa components for each step in the pattern.
- Accessibility checks for keyboard flow and visible focus states.

Implementation Flow (3 Steps)

1. Choose the pattern

Start with a pattern that matches the user task and outcome clarity needed.

const patternChoice = {
  formSubmission: 'patterns/forms',
  statusFeedback: 'patterns/notifications',
};

2. Compose with existing components

Build patterns from existing Diwa components before introducing new abstractions.

<diwa-input-text label="Email"></diwa-input-text>
<diwa-button variant="primary">Submit</diwa-button>
<diwa-inline-notification variant="error"></diwa-inline-notification>

3. Validate interaction quality

Check keyboard order, focus visibility, and reduced-motion behavior on representative flows.

npm test
npm run build:storefront

Available Pattern Guides

Forms

Practical guidance, snippets, and state-behavior checks.

Notifications

Practical guidance, snippets, and state-behavior checks.

Troubleshooting Notes

- If flows feel inconsistent, align component state naming and feedback timing.
- If accessibility defects appear late, shift keyboard/focus checks earlier in implementation.
- If pattern variants proliferate, consolidate around a single default with explicit exceptions.
