Designing components for UI design involves crucial decisions that shape the functionality and flexibility of your design system. In this video, Henry Daggett discusses the key considerations when creating components, focusing on the choice between generic and specific UI components. Understanding this distinction is essential for designing components that align with the scope of your product setup and the broader design system.

Generic UI components aim to cover a wide range of use cases by being highly composable. For example, a date picker might include options for different sizes, arrow placements, or quick-select panels. These components are extendable and versatile but can be slow to build and complex to use. On the other hand, specific UI components, often called pre-composed components, are tailored for a single purpose, making them simple to use and quick to build. However, they are less adaptable to new requirements, which can limit their long-term usefulness. The video also touches on composable and pre-composed components of UI design, highlighting the pros and cons of each approach. Henry emphasizes starting with foundational elements like color, spacing, typography, and sizing. In larger systems, these are often managed as design tokens, reusable variables that standardize styles. For instance, a text size might be represented as a token like $input-text-large for consistent implementation. Another key aspect of designing components in UI design is the role of subcomponents—smaller components contained within larger ones. For example, a clear button or calendar button within a date input component serves a specific role but remains native to its parent component. These subcomponents enhance usability without being exposed as standalone elements.

Whether you're learning about generic vs. specific UI components, exploring composable design techniques, or evaluating the pros and cons of UI components, this video provides valuable insights. Platforms like Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) are great for deepening your understanding of design systems and creating effective components.
