Building Reusable Component Libraries That Actually Survive Enterprise Scale
Building a reusable component library at enterprise scale requires treating UI as infrastructure. The author shares hard-won lessons from migrating large apps across Angular and React simultaneously. Key principles include layering design tokens at the base as a framework-agnostic source of truth, implementing shared primitives that read from those tokens in both frameworks, and handling cross-framework consistency through either duplicate-and-sync, Web Components, or a shared TypeScript core with thin framework wrappers. Versioning must follow semantic versioning strictly with deprecation windows before removal. Documentation via Storybook is essential for adoption, accessibility should be baked into primitives, and testing should cover unit behavior, visual regression, and automated a11y checks in CI. Success is measured by whether teams reach for the library by default rather than building their own components.
