Creating a React Design System

I’ve just started working with design system for work. These are some of the core things I had to do:

• create a design system using storybook
• use webpack to package my code
• push code to a cloud bitbucket repo
• register an npm repo and publish to it
• setup semantic-release so that version numbers auto update on commit
• change development workflow (get UX designs first, figure out all the component use cases, create components that fulfill those requirements)
• import components into a project
• use component in project logic

I’ll be breaking apart the details in upcoming articles to go over issues I went through and my over all solution.
