Architecture Overview
🎨 Component-First, Framework-Agnostic
Tuix Web Components is a UI library built with native Web Components, designed to integrate seamlessly into any frontend framework --- including React, Vue, Angular, and plain HTML. The library is based on the
🌗 Theme-Aware and Fully Responsive
Each component adapts to light and dark themes using a well-defined color palette. All elements are fully responsive, supporting desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts with no additional configuration required.
🔄 Continuous Integration and Delivery
The release workflow includes CI/CD pipelines that check for style and test correctness, then automatically publish new versions to NPM and generate web bundles for direct browser usage.
Technology Stack
🧠 Component Development
-
Web Standards: Web Components
-
Design System: Based on Atomic Design principles
🎨 Styling & Theming
CSS Variables: Used for theme switching (dark/light)
📦 Packaging
-
NPM: Published as

Web Bundle: Generated for direct
<script>usage
🔄 DevOps
-
CI/CD Pipeline: Validates code style, runs tests, builds package and web bundle
-
Automated Release: Deploys to NPM and public asset hosting on merge
Why This Stack and Architecture
-
Web Components → Natively supported in browsers and agnostic of frameworks --- a future-proof, reusable solution for cross-project UI consistency
-
Atomic Design → Ensures components are modular, scalable, and easy to compose
-
NPM + Web Bundle → Supports both modern app frameworks and traditional HTML use cases
-
CI/CD Workflow → Reduces human error, speeds up delivery, and ensures consistency
-
Theming System → A shared color palette provides visual consistency across products and even branded merchandise
Feature Highlights
Framework-Agnostic Usage Components can be consumed via NPM in modern SPAs (React, Vue, Angular) or embedded directly into static HTML via script tags offering maximum flexibility.
Atomic UI Building Blocks Each UI element is crafted as a reusable atom, molecule or organism with well-documented props, state variations, and responsive behaviors.
Built-In Theme Support Components auto-adapt to dark or light themes.
Public Documentation with Storybook We use Storybook to document each component visually. Developers can explore variations, live-edit props, and view previews of every component state --- making onboarding and integration fast and intuitive.
-
Streamlined Publishing Workflow Every push to the mainbranch of the repository automatically triggers the following sequence via the CI/CD pipeline:
-
Validation -- Linting, type checks, and tests are run to ensure code quality.
-
Bundling -- The application is compiled and packaged using esbuild.
-
Version Bumping -- A new version is automatically calculated and applied using semantic versioning.
-
Publishing --
-
A new version is released to npm (Node Package Manager).
-
The public web bundle is uploaded to AWS S3 bucket.
-
No manual intervention is required for any step --- the full process is triggered solely by a push to to the main branch.
-
Challenges & Lessons Learned
-
Cross-Framework Compatibility Designing components that worked consistently in React, Vue, and Angular required careful testing and standardization around lifecycle events and property binding.
-
Theme & Responsiveness Supporting dark/light themes and multiple screen sizes required a robust approach to styling. Using CSS variables and design tokens helped centralize control.
-
Release Automation Building a smooth CI/CD pipeline that handled tests, bundling, and dual publishing (NPM + standalone) was key to developer confidence and fast iteration.
