UI Patterns
Our UI patterns provide consistent solutions to common design challenges. These reusable patterns help maintain consistency across products while solving complex interaction problems efficiently.
Navigation Patterns
Consistent navigation patterns help users find their way through the application.
Breadcrumb Navigation
Breadcrumbs show users their current location within the application hierarchy and provide a way to navigate back to parent pages.
<div className="flex items-center space-x-1 text-sm">
<Link href="/" className="text-muted-foreground hover:text-primary">Home</Link>
<span className="text-muted-foreground">/</span>
<Link href="/components" className="text-muted-foreground hover:text-primary">Components</Link>
<span className="text-muted-foreground">/</span>
<span>Navigation</span>
</div>Tab Navigation
Tabs organize content into separate views that users can switch between without leaving the page. They're ideal for related content that can be viewed independently.
Overview content goes here
<Tabs defaultValue="tab1" className="w-full">
<TabsList className="rounded-md">
<TabsTrigger value="tab1">Overview</TabsTrigger>
<TabsTrigger value="tab2">Features</TabsTrigger>
<TabsTrigger value="tab3">Documentation</TabsTrigger>
</TabsList>
<TabsContent value="tab1" className="p-4">
Overview content goes here
</TabsContent>
<TabsContent value="tab2" className="p-4">
Features content goes here
</TabsContent>
<TabsContent value="tab3" className="p-4">

</TabsContent>
</Tabs>Sidebar Navigation
Sidebar navigation provides a persistent menu that remains visible as users navigate through the application. It's ideal for applications with many sections or pages.
