How it works?
What is AA-Design System?
AuthentifyIT is a design system and frontend toolkit that powers the AuthentifyIT platform. It provides a consistent, scalable, and well-documented foundation for building user interfaces across applications.
By centralizing design, code conventions, and reusable components, AuthentifyIT ensures that every part of the platform looks, feels, and behaves consistently.
Why a Design System?
Consistency → Same UI components and patterns across all applications.
Scalability → Adding new features without breaking design or flow.
Efficiency → Developers and designers reuse components instead of reinventing them.
Quality → Built-in testing, formatting, and linting ensure a reliable codebase.
Documentation → Storybook provides a live reference for designers, developers, and stakeholders.
How It Works
Component-driven development Every UI element is created as a reusable React + TypeScript component, styled with Tailwind CSS.
Design-first approach The repository acts as the single source of truth for branding, styling, and interaction.
Testing and validation Components are tested with Jest and Playwright to ensure reliability.
3D and advanced visuals Three.js + React Three Fiber enable interactive and immersive 3D elements.
Maps and geolocation Mapbox GL is used for dynamic maps integrated into the system.
Documentation Storybook serves as both a showcase and a testing ground for components, making collaboration easier.
Deployment
The design system is deployed with Vercel, making it accessible to the entire team.
Preview deployments allow quick reviews of new versions.
Production deployments ensure stable releases for internal and external use.
Conclusion
AA-Design System exists to make UI development faster, consistent, and more reliable. It bridges the gap between design and development, giving the team a unified way to build and scale the platform.
