Handling Overrides & Customizations
Develop strategies for allowing necessary component overrides and customizations while maintaining design system integrity.
The Need for Flexibility
Imagine building many apps from one design system. While consistency is key, every project has unique needs. Sometimes, a component needs a slight tweak to fit perfectly.
This lesson explores how to allow these necessary 'overrides' and 'customizations' without breaking the strong foundation of your design system.
Balancing Act: Consistency vs. Custom
A design system's power comes from its consistency. But if it's too rigid, teams might avoid using it. Too much flexibility, and you lose the benefits of standardization.
The goal is to find a sweet spot: provide controlled ways to customize, ensuring integrity while empowering product teams.
