UI Development/UI Architecture/Component Development Workflow

Component Deployment & Integration

Completing documentation, integrating into features, and deploying UI components into production.

Component Deployment & Integration

Overview

After passing all review stages, components must be properly documented, integrated into features, and deployed. This document covers the processes for smooth integration and reliable deployment.

Consistent Integration

Consistent deployment and integration practices ensure that components behave reliably across all features and environments. These steps bridge the gap between development and production use.

Purpose & Scope

  • Documentation requirements and best practices
  • Feature integration patterns
  • Component release processes
  • Versioning and change management

Step 1: Final Documentation

Documentation is a critical part of component deployment:

Documentation Checklist

All components must include:

Component Documentation

  • Purpose and use cases
  • Complete props API with types and descriptions
  • Code examples for common scenarios
  • Accessibility considerations
  • Performance notes

Integration Guides

  • Basic usage examples
  • Advanced usage patterns
  • Feature integration examples
  • Common pitfalls to avoid

Implementation Notes

  • Architecture decisions
  • Key dependencies
  • Browser/device compatibility
  • Known limitations

Changelog

  • Version history
  • Breaking changes
  • Deprecation notices

Step 2: Feature Integration

Integrate the component into relevant features:

Feature Integration Process

Identify Integration Points

  • Review features needing the component
  • Identify existing components to replace
  • Define integration goals

Feature Branch Integration

  • Create feature integration branch
  • Add component to feature
  • Adapt feature code as needed
  • Test integration thoroughly

Shared Component Updates

  • Identify any common needs across features
  • Extract shared patterns to component
  • Ensure backward compatibility

Cross-Feature Testing

  • Test with all integrated features
  • Verify no regressions
  • Document feature-specific usage

Step 3: Release Process

Deploy component through proper release channels:

Version Management

Follow semantic versioning for components:

  • MAJOR (2.0.0): Breaking changes
  • MINOR (1.1.0): New features, backward compatible
  • PATCH (1.0.1): Bug fixes, backward compatible

Component Version Tracking

// ui/foundation/Button/Button.tsx
 
/**
 * Button component
 * @version 1.2.0
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @lastUpdated 2023-08-15
 */
export const Button = ({ ... }) => { ... };

Version History

// ui/foundation/Button/CHANGELOG.md
# Button Component Changelog

Next Steps

After deployment:

  1. Continue to Post-Deployment Monitoring & Maintenance
  2. Collect initial usage feedback
  3. Plan for iterative improvements

Component Review Process

Self-review, peer review, and QA testing procedures to ensure UI component quality.

Post-Deployment Monitoring & Maintenance

Monitoring component performance, gathering feedback, and maintaining UI components over time.
