Design System Patterns for Server Components
Server components change the way we build for the modern web, and design systems must adjust accordingly. So, how do you encapsulate design and interactivity for larger UI elements without compromising performance while taking advantage of the latest features in React and Next.js? In this talk, we’ll explore new patterns for managing forms, state, and interactivity without forcing everything to be a client component. We’ll learn these patterns in the context of VIBES, a brand-new UI library for composable websites.
