# Shared Component Library

This directory contains reusable UI components, layouts, and templates that can be shared across multiple frontend applications in the IGNY8 platform.

## Overview

The shared component library provides:
- **Blocks**: Reusable content blocks (hero sections, feature grids, stats panels)
- **Layouts**: Page layout wrappers (default, minimal)
- **Templates**: Complete page templates (marketing, landing pages)

These components are designed to be framework-agnostic where possible, but currently implemented in React/TypeScript.

## Usage

### In Site Builder (`site-builder/`)

The Site Builder application imports shared components via the `@shared` alias configured in `vite.config.ts`:

```typescript
import { HeroBlock, MarketingTemplate } from '@shared';
```

### In Main Frontend (`frontend/`)

Import directly from the shared directory:

```typescript
import { HeroBlock } from '@/components/shared/blocks';
import { DefaultLayout } from '@/components/shared/layouts';
```

## Styling

Components use CSS modules and shared CSS files:
- `blocks/blocks.css` - Block component styles
- `layouts/layouts.css` - Layout component styles

Styles are scoped to prevent conflicts. When using in different applications, ensure CSS is imported:

```typescript
import '@shared/blocks/blocks.css';
import '@shared/layouts/layouts.css';
```

## TypeScript Types

All components are fully typed. Import types from the component files:

```typescript
import type { HeroBlockProps } from '@shared/blocks/HeroBlock';
```

## Best Practices

1. **Composition over Configuration**: Prefer composing blocks into templates rather than creating monolithic components.

2. **Props Validation**: All components validate required props. Use TypeScript for compile-time safety.

3. **Accessibility**: Components follow WCAG guidelines. Include ARIA labels where appropriate.

4. **Responsive Design**: All components are mobile-first and responsive.

5. **Performance**: Use React.memo for expensive components, lazy loading for templates.

## Contributing

When adding new shared components:

1. Create the component in the appropriate directory (`blocks/`, `layouts/`, or `templates/`)
2. Export from the directory's `index.ts`
3. Add to the main `shared/index.ts` barrel export
4. Document props and usage in this README
5. Add TypeScript types
6. Include CSS in the appropriate stylesheet
7. Write tests (if applicable)

## Testing

Shared components should be tested in the consuming applications. The Site Builder includes tests for components used in the preview canvas.
