Create your first design system component in React
May 10, 2024, h 15:00 · online
A live coding session led by our front-end developer Federica Vacca in conversation with Fabrizio Rizzonelli, Belka's engineering manager, on how to build a component from scratch.
Hey! In case you are wondering: yes, this event is held in English, is free and open to all!
What will you learn:
- Why starting a design system can be intimidating
- Why a component is the best way to start
- Federica shows you live how to code a component
- Q&A: time for your questions!
What will you learn
Over time successful products naturally evolve. New features are added, until things get complicated and creating a proper design system becomes indispensable. But where do you start?
Starting a design system from scratch can be intimidating. You have to choose the right technologies, organize code and style structure, and all that with the goal of making it scalable and maintainable over time. Sounds impossible?
Federica and Fabrizio will share our experience starting with Belka's boilerplate: a repository with ready-to-use code from which to start off.
Federica will show you hands-on how to code with React a mid-complexity component (yes, something more complex than the average button) starting from a finished design in Figma.
Let's talk about you
This webinar is for you if you are a developer in a fast growing digital product that needs to introduce a design system or has already one and are looking for different ways to do things.
Or maybe your product is mature, and the working process needs to be simplified. Both works.
Our experience

We have worked with successful startups such as indigo.ai and Coverzen and supported the most well-known digital products in Italy — such as Fatture in Cloud, NeN, Spiagge and Subito — in their growth.
