Component Breakdown

1. Theming (Look & Feel)

  • Controls visual style (colors, fonts, spacing, animations).
  • Must be cross-application adaptable (global theme tokens, theme provider).
  • Should not affect behavior or logic.
  • Examples:
    • Button → size, color scheme, border-radius, hover effect.
    • Notification → placement, background, animation style.

2. Layout (Structure & Composition)

  • Defines how sub-parts are arranged, without changing the internal business rules.
  • Should be overridable via builders/properties/configuration, not by rewriting component internals.
  • Examples:
    • Card → header, body.
    • CMS Page → sidebar, content area, toolbar.
    • Modal → header placement, close button position.

3. Internal Business Logic (BL)

  • Encapsulates state management & functional behavior.
  • Should be implicit by default (component manages its own state) but exposable for control.
  • Must be type-safe → compile-time errors for missing logic.
  • Examples:
    • Dropdown → open/close state, keyboard navigation.
    • File Picker → file validation, upload queue, error handling.
    • Cache Manager → data persistence, eviction policies.
