Component library (Atoms): A component is a reusable block of code that can stand alone or form part of multiple UI patterns–for example, a button.Using Atomic Design, we can define patterns and components as follows: Page: A page brings everything together on one screen.A template starts to resemble parts of a webpage or mobile application. Templates: Complete layouts and wireframes which include atoms, molecules, and organisms.These patterns shape a user interface with cards, navigation bars, logos, search fields, etc. Organisms: Complex UI patterns comprising of atoms and molecules. ![]() ![]()
