Building functional UI from design mockups with Penpot
- Turning high-fidelity designs into production-ready React components can be fragmented, but Penpot offers a solution.
- Penpot is an open source design tool for collaborative design and prototyping, providing flexibility and accessibility.
- Compared to Figma, Penpot offers features like true Flex and Grid layout tools, code inspect mode, and atomic design principles.
- Penpot suits dev-heavy teams, open source projects, and privacy-conscious organizations due to its features and cost.
- To utilize Penpot, you need to set up the environment, design in Penpot, and export assets for building React components.
- After designing in Penpot, you can build a React component like a login form using Tailwind CSS for styling.
- Document and test the component with Storybook to ensure responsiveness, accessibility, and compatibility.
- Refine the component for production readiness by refactoring, adjusting layout for different screen sizes, and organizing the code.
- In conclusion, converting Penpot designs into functional UI components using React and Storybook streamlines the design and development handoff.
- This approach enhances the UI development pipeline, especially for projects requiring consistent user input across screens.
