  1. Common Patterns

Patterns Overivew

Patterns are combinations of components that come together to form larger, reusable elements. Unlike components, which are often standardized and reused across multiple projects, patterns are typically developed on a per-project basis to meet specific needs. The CDS framework provides support for several common patterns, allowing for consistency and efficiency in design and development.

Examples of patterns include

Common Patterns

  • Accordion
  • Cards
  • Dialog
  • Forms
