Component Template Generator
Create production-ready component code that properly uses your design tokens. Generates React, Vue, or Svelte components with variants, accessibility, and token integration.
Quick Start
Minimal example - generate a Button component:
// Input: Trend ID + Component type
// Output: Complete component with token usage
// Button.tsx (neobrutalism)
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
interface ButtonProps {
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'ghost';
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
children: React.ReactNode;
}
export function Button({ variant = 'primary', size = 'md', children }: ButtonProps) {
return (
<button className={cn(
'border-3 border-brutal-black font-display transition-all duration-100',
'shadow-brutal hover:shadow-brutal-hover hover:-translate-x-0.5 hover:-translate-y-0.5',
'active:shadow-brutal-active active:translate-x-0.5 active:translate-y-0.5',
// Variants
variant === 'primary' && 'bg-brutal-red text-white',
variant === 'secondary' && 'bg-brutal-cream text-brutal-black',
variant === 'ghost' && 'bg-transparent border-transparent shadow-none',
// Sizes
size === 'sm' && 'px-3 py-1.5 text-sm',
size === 'md' && 'px-4 py-2 text-base',
size === 'lg' && 'px-6 py-3 text-lg',
)}>
{children}
</button>
);
}
Key principle: Components use semantic token names, not hardcoded values.
Core Mission
Generate component templates that:
- Use design tokens correctly (semantic names, not hex values)
- Include common variants (size, color, state)
- Have accessibility built in (ARIA, keyboard, focus)
- Are framework-idiomatic (React hooks, Vue composition, Svelte stores)
When to Use
✅ Use when:
- Starting a component library with generated tokens
- Need consistent token usage across components
- Want accessibility baked into templates
- Bootstrapping a design system implementation
❌ Do NOT use when:
- Need tokens only (use design-system-generator)
- Need complete UI library (use shadcn/ui or similar)
- Customizing existing components (just edit them)
Component Catalog
Core Components
| Component | Variants | Accessibility |
|---|---|---|
| Button | primary, secondary, ghost, destructive | ✅ Focus ring, disabled state |
| Input | default, error, disabled | ✅ Label association, error announcement |
| Card | default, interactive, highlighted | ✅ Semantic article/section |
| Badge | default, success, warning, error | ✅ Status announcements |
Layout Components
| Component | Variants | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Container | default, narrow, wide | Max-width + padding |
| Stack | vertical, horizontal | Gap using spacing tokens |
| Grid | 2-col, 3-col, 4-col, auto | Responsive breakpoints |
Interactive Components
| Component | Variants | Accessibility |
|---|---|---|
| Dialog | default, alert | ✅ Focus trap, escape close |
| Dropdown | default | ✅ Keyboard navigation |
| Tabs | default | ✅ Arrow key navigation |
| Toggle | default | ✅ Switch role |
Template Structure
Each component template includes:
// 1. Type definitions
interface ComponentProps {
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
// ... other props
}
// 2. Component implementation
export function Component({ variant, size, ...props }: ComponentProps) {
// Token-based styling
// Accessibility attributes
// Event handlers
}
// 3. Subcomponents (if applicable)
Component.Header = function Header() { /* ... */ };
Component.Body = function Body() { /* ... */ };
// 4. Default export
export default Component;
Framework Templates
React + Tailwind
// Uses: className, cn() utility, React.forwardRef for refs
import { forwardRef } from 'react';
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
}
export const Button = forwardRef<HTMLButtonElement, ButtonProps>(
({ variant = 'primary', className, ...props }, ref) => (
<button
ref={ref}
className={cn(
'border-3 border-brutal-black shadow-brutal',
variant === 'primary' && 'bg-brutal-red',
className
)}
{...props}
/>
)
);
React + CSS Variables
// Uses: style prop with CSS variables, CSS modules
import styles from './Button.module.css';
export function Button({ variant = 'primary', ...props }) {
return (
<button
className={`${styles.button} ${styles[variant]}`}
style={{
'--button-shadow': 'var(--shadow-md)',
'--button-border': 'var(--border-width) solid var(--color-border)',
}}
{...props}
/>
);
}
Vue 3 + Composition API
<script setup lang="ts">
interface Props {
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
}
const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
variant: 'primary',
size: 'md',
});
const classes = computed(() => [
'border-3 border-brutal-black shadow-brutal',
props.variant === 'primary' && 'bg-brutal-red',
props.variant === 'secondary' && 'bg-brutal-cream',
]);
</script>
<template>
<button :class="classes">
<slot />
</button>
</template>
Svelte
<script lang="ts">
export let variant: 'primary' | 'secondary' = 'primary';
export let size: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' = 'md';
</script>
<button
class="border-3 border-brutal-black shadow-brutal"
class:bg-brutal-red={variant === 'primary'}
class:bg-brutal-cream={variant === 'secondary'}
on:click
>
<slot />
</button>
Accessibility Patterns
Focus Management
// All interactive components include visible focus
'focus:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-offset-2'
'focus-visible:ring-brutal-blue'
Keyboard Navigation
// Dropdown with keyboard support
function handleKeyDown(e: KeyboardEvent) {
switch (e.key) {
case 'ArrowDown': focusNext(); break;
case 'ArrowUp': focusPrev(); break;
case 'Escape': close(); break;
case 'Enter': select(); break;
}
}
ARIA Attributes
// Dialog with proper ARIA
<div
role="dialog"
aria-modal="true"
aria-labelledby="dialog-title"
aria-describedby="dialog-description"
>
Trend-Specific Patterns
Neobrutalism Components
// Hard shadows, bold borders, transform on interaction
'border-3 border-black shadow-brutal'
'hover:shadow-brutal-hover hover:-translate-x-0.5 hover:-translate-y-0.5'
'active:shadow-brutal-active active:translate-x-0.5 active:translate-y-0.5'
Glassmorphism Components
// Frosted glass, subtle borders, backdrop blur
'bg-glass-white/10 backdrop-blur-glass'
'border border-glass-white/20'
'shadow-glass'
Terminal Components
// Monospace, green-on-black, CRT effects
'font-mono bg-term-bg text-term-green'
'border border-term-green/30'
'shadow-term-glow'
Generation Workflow
1. design-system-generator → tokens (Tailwind/CSS)
2. component-template-generator → component code
3. Customize variants and props as needed
4. design-system-documenter → component docs
