## Design System

### Colors (Tailwind CSS v4)
```css
/* src/index.css */
@import "tailwindcss";

@theme {
  --color-primary: #2563eb;      /* blue-600 */
  --color-primary-dark: #1e40af; /* blue-700 */
  --color-secondary: #64748b;    /* slate-500 */
  --color-success: #10b981;      /* green-500 */
  --color-danger: #ef4444;       /* red-500 */
  --color-warning: #f59e0b;      /* amber-500 */
}
```

### Component Patterns

#### 1. Button Component
```javascript
// components/Button.jsx
export default function Button({
  children,
  variant = 'primary',
  size = 'md',
  onClick,
  disabled,
  type = 'button',
  className = ''
}) {
  const baseStyles = 'rounded-lg font-medium transition-colors';

  const variants = {
    primary: 'bg-primary text-white hover:bg-primary-dark',
    secondary: 'bg-gray-200 text-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-300',
    danger: 'bg-red-500 text-white hover:bg-red-600',
    ghost: 'bg-transparent hover:bg-gray-100'
  };

  const sizes = {
    sm: 'px-3 py-1.5 text-sm',
    md: 'px-4 py-2 text-base',
    lg: 'px-6 py-3 text-lg'
  };

  return (
    <button
      type={type}
      onClick={onClick}
      disabled={disabled}
      className={`${baseStyles} ${variants[variant]} ${sizes[size]} ${className} disabled:opacity-50 disabled:cursor-not-allowed`}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}
```

#### 2. Page Layout Pattern
```javascript
// pages/Styles/StylesList.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import PageContainer from '../../components/PageContainer';
import PageHeader from '../../components/PageHeader';
import Button from '../../components/Button';
import { stylesAPI } from '../../services/stylesAPI';

export default function StylesList() {
  const [search, setSearch] = useState('');

  const { data: styles, isLoading, error } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['styles'],
    queryFn: stylesAPI.getAll
  });

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;

  const filteredStyles = styles?.filter(style =>
    style.style_number.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase()) ||
    style.name.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase())
  );

  return (
    <PageContainer>
      <PageHeader
        title="Styles"
        subtitle={`${filteredStyles?.length || 0} total styles`}
        action={
          <Link to="/styles/new">
            <Button>Add New Style</Button>
          </Link>
        }
      />

      <div className="mb-6">
        <input
          type="search"
          placeholder="Search styles..."
          value={search}
          onChange={(e) => setSearch(e.target.value)}
          className="px-4 py-2 border rounded-lg w-full max-w-md"
        />
      </div>

      <div className="grid gap-4">
        {filteredStyles?.map(style => (
          <StyleCard key={style.id} style={style} />
        ))}
      </div>
    </PageContainer>
  );
}
```

#### 3. Form Pattern
```javascript
// pages/Styles/StyleForm.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import Button from '../../components/Button';
import Input from '../../components/Input';
import { stylesAPI } from '../../services/stylesAPI';

export default function StyleForm() {
  const navigate = useNavigate();
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
    style_number: '',
    name: '',
    description: ''
  });

  const createMutation = useMutation({
    mutationFn: stylesAPI.create,
    onSuccess: () => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries(['styles']);
      navigate('/styles');
    }
  });

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    createMutation.mutate(formData);
  };

  const handleChange = (e) => {
    setFormData(prev => ({
      ...prev,
      [e.target.name]: e.target.value
    }));
  };

  return (
    <PageContainer>
      <PageHeader title="Add New Style" />

      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit} className="max-w-2xl space-y-6">
        <Input
          label="Style Number"
          name="style_number"
          value={formData.style_number}
          onChange={handleChange}
          required
        />

        <Input
          label="Style Name"
          name="name"
          value={formData.name}
          onChange={handleChange}
          required
        />

        <div>
          <label className="block text-sm font-medium mb-2">
            Description
          </label>
          <textarea
            name="description"
            value={formData.description}
            onChange={handleChange}
            rows={4}
            className="w-full px-3 py-2 border rounded-lg"
          />
        </div>

        <div className="flex gap-4">
          <Button type="submit" disabled={createMutation.isPending}>
            {createMutation.isPending ? 'Creating...' : 'Create Style'}
          </Button>
          <Button
            type="button"
            variant="secondary"
            onClick={() => navigate('/styles')}
          >
            Cancel
          </Button>
        </div>

        {createMutation.error && (
          <div className="text-red-500">
            Error: {createMutation.error.message}
          </div>
        )}
      </form>
    </PageContainer>
  );
}
```

#### 4. API Service Pattern
```javascript
// services/stylesAPI.js
import api from './api';

export const stylesAPI = {
  getAll: async () => {
    const { data } = await api.get('/styles');
    return data;
  },

  getById: async (id) => {
    const { data } = await api.get(`/styles/${id}`);
    return data;
  },

  create: async (styleData) => {
    const { data } = await api.post('/styles', styleData);
    return data;
  },

  update: async ({ id, ...styleData }) => {
    const { data } = await api.put(`/styles/${id}`, styleData);
    return data;
  },

  delete: async (id) => {
    const { data } = await api.delete(`/styles/${id}`);
    return data;
  }
};
```

#### 5. Protected Route Pattern
```javascript
// App.jsx
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useAuth } from './contexts/AuthContext';

function ProtectedRoute({ children }) {
  const { user } = useAuth();
  return user ? children : <Navigate to="/login" />;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/login" element={<Login />} />
        <Route
          path="/"
          element={
            <ProtectedRoute>
              <Layout />
            </ProtectedRoute>
          }
        >
          <Route index element={<Dashboard />} />
          <Route path="styles" element={<StylesList />} />
          <Route path="styles/new" element={<StyleForm />} />
          <Route path="styles/:id" element={<StyleDetail />} />
        </Route>
      </Routes>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}
```

## Tailwind CSS v4 Best Practices

```javascript
// Use CSS variables for theming
<div className="bg-primary text-white">

// Responsive design
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">

// Hover and focus states
<button className="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-600 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-300">

// Dark mode (if implementing)
<div className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-800">
```

## Performance Optimization

```javascript
// 1. Lazy load routes
const StylesList = lazy(() => import('./pages/Styles/StylesList'));

// 2. Memoize expensive computations
const filteredData = useMemo(() => {
  return data.filter(item => item.name.includes(search));
}, [data, search]);

// 3. Prevent unnecessary re-renders
const MemoizedComponent = memo(ExpensiveComponent);

// 4. Debounce search inputs
const debouncedSearch = useDebouncedValue(search, 300);

// 5. Virtual scrolling for long lists
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual';
```

## Accessibility Checklist
- [ ] Semantic HTML elements
- [ ] ARIA labels where needed
- [ ] Keyboard navigation support
- [ ] Focus indicators visible
- [ ] Alt text for images
- [ ] Sufficient color contrast
- [ ] Form labels properly associated
- [ ] Error messages announced to screen readers

## Common Tasks

### 1. Adding a New Page
1. Create page component in `src/pages/Module/`
2. Add route in `App.jsx`
3. Create API service if needed
4. Add navigation link
5. Test responsiveness

### 2. Creating a Reusable Component
1. Add to `src/components/`
2. Accept props for customization
3. Add TypeScript types (if using TS)
4. Document usage with comments
5. Test in Storybook (if available)

### 3. Implementing a Form
1. Use controlled components
2. Add client-side validation
3. Handle submit with React Query mutation
4. Show loading state during submission
5. Display success/error messages
6. Clear form on success

## Success Criteria
- Components follow design system consistently
- Pages are responsive (mobile, tablet, desktop)
- Loading states prevent content flash
- Error handling is user-friendly
- Forms have proper validation
- Accessibility standards met
- Performance metrics good (< 3s initial load)

## When to Ask for Help
- Clarify UI/UX requirements or design specs
- Need new API endpoints from backend
- Complex state management scenarios
- Performance optimization beyond standard practices
- Accessibility requirements for specific components
