🎨 Designing a Style Guide from Figma

Why Create a Style Guide?

A style guide ensures consistency across your application and speeds up development by providing reusable design tokens.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Style Guide from Figma

1. Analyze the Figma Design

  • Open your Figma file: Audiophile Style Guide

  • Identify design tokens:

    • Colors (primary, secondary, neutral)

    • Typography (font families, sizes, weights)

    • Spacing (margins, paddings)

    • Border radius

    • Shadows and effects

2. Extract Color Palette

/* styles/globals.css */
:root {
  /* Primary Colors */
  --color-primary: #D87D4A;
  --color-primary-hover: #FBAF85;

  /* Neutral Colors */
  --color-black: #000000;
  --color-white: #FFFFFF;
  --color-gray-100: #FAFAFA;
  --color-gray-200: #F1F1F1;

  /* Text Colors */
  --color-text-primary: #000000;
  --color-text-secondary: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

3. Define Typography Scale

/* Typography */
--font-family-primary: 'Manrope', sans-serif;

--font-size-heading-1: 56px;
--font-size-heading-2: 40px;
--font-size-heading-3: 32px;
--font-size-heading-4: 28px;
--font-size-heading-5: 24px;
--font-size-heading-6: 18px;

--font-weight-regular: 400;
--font-weight-medium: 500;
--font-weight-bold: 700;

4. Create Spacing Scale

/* Spacing */
--spacing-xs: 8px;
--spacing-sm: 16px;
--spacing-md: 24px;
--spacing-lg: 32px;
--spacing-xl: 48px;
--spacing-2xl: 64px;

5. Implement in Tailwind Config

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: 'var(--color-primary)',
        'primary-hover': 'var(--color-primary-hover)',
        black: 'var(--color-black)',
        white: 'var(--color-white)',
        border: 'var(--color-gray-200)',
      },
      fontFamily: {
        primary: ['Manrope', 'sans-serif'],
      },
      fontSize: {
        'heading-1': ['56px', { lineHeight: '58px', letterSpacing: '2px' }],
        'heading-2': ['40px', { lineHeight: '44px', letterSpacing: '1.5px' }],
        // ... other sizes
      },
      spacing: {
        '18': '72px',
        '88': '352px',
      },
    },
  },
}

6. Create Reusable Components

// components/ui/Button.tsx
interface ButtonProps {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'tertiary';
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
  children: React.ReactNode;
  // ... other props
}

const Button = ({ variant = 'primary', size = 'md', children, ...props }) => {
  return (
    <button 
      className={cn(
        'font-bold uppercase tracking-wider transition-all duration-200',
        // Variant styles
        variant === 'primary' && 'bg-primary text-white hover:bg-primary-hover',
        // Size styles
        size === 'lg' && 'h-12 px-8 text-sm',
      )}
      {...props}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  );
};

7. Document Your Style Guide

Create a style-guide page to showcase all components:

// app/style-guide/page.tsx
export default function StyleGuide() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto px-6 py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold mb-12">Style Guide</h1>

      {/* Colors */}
      <section className="mb-12">
        <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-6">Colors</h2>
        <div className="grid grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4 gap-4">
          <div className="text-center">
            <div className="w-16 h-16 bg-primary mx-auto mb-2"></div>
            <p className="text-sm">Primary</p>
            <p className="text-xs text-gray-600">#D87D4A</p>
          </div>
          {/* More color swatches */}
        </div>
      </section>

      {/* Typography */}
      <section className="mb-12">
        <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-6">Typography</h2>
        <div className="space-y-4">
          <div>
            <p className="text-heading-1">Heading 1 - 56px</p>
          </div>
          {/* More typography examples */}
        </div>
      </section>

      {/* Components */}
      <section className="mb-12">
        <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-6">Components</h2>
        <div className="space-y-8">
          <div>
            <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold mb-4">Buttons</h3>
            <div className="flex gap-4">
              <Button variant="primary">Primary</Button>
              <Button variant="secondary">Secondary</Button>
            </div>
          </div>
          {/* More component examples */}
        </div>
      </section>
    </div>
  );
}

🗄️ Database Integration with Convex

Setting Up Convex

  1. Install Convex CLI: npm install -g convex

  2. Initialize Convex: npx convex dev

  3. Create your schema:

// convex/schema.ts
import { defineSchema, defineTable } from 'convex/server';
import { v } from 'convex/values';

export default defineSchema({
  products: defineTable({
    name: v.string(),
    slug: v.string(),
    description: v.string(),
    price: v.number(),
    image: v.string(),
    category: v.string(),
    features: v.array(v.string()),
    includes: v.array(v.object({
      item: v.string(),
      quantity: v.number(),
    })),
    gallery: v.optional(v.array(v.string())),
  }),

  orders: defineTable({
    userId: v.optional(v.id('users')),
    items: v.array(v.object({
      productId: v.id('products'),
      name: v.string(),
      price: v.number(),
      quantity: v.number(),
      image: v.string(),
    })),
    customer: v.object({
      name: v.string(),
      email: v.string(),
      phone: v.string(),
    }),
    shipping: v.object({
      address: v.string(),
      city: v.string(),
      zip: v.string(),
      country: v.string(),
    }),
    totals: v.object({
      subtotal: v.number(),
      shipping: v.number(),
      tax: v.number(),
      grandTotal: v.number(),
    }),
    status: v.string(),
  }).index('by_user', ['userId']),

  users: defineTable({
    email: v.string(),
    name: v.string(),
  }).index('by_email', ['email']),
});

Creating Queries and Mutations

// convex/queries.ts
import { query } from './_generated/server';
import { v } from 'convex/values';

export const getProducts = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    return await ctx.db.query('products').collect();
  },
});

export const getProductBySlug = query({
  args: { slug: v.string() },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await ctx.db
      .query('products')
      .withIndex('by_slug', (q) => q.eq('slug', args.slug))
      .first();
  },
});

export const getProductsByCategory = query({
  args: { category: v.string() },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await ctx.db
      .query('products')
      .withIndex('by_category', (q) => q.eq('category', args.category))
      .collect();
  },
});

🚀 Deployment to Vercel

Step 1: Connect Your Repository

  1. Go to Vercel and sign in

  2. Click "New Project"

  3. Import your GitHub repository

  4. Configure the project settings

Step 2: Environment Variables

Add your environment variables in Vercel:

  • NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL

  • Any email service API keys

Step 3: Deploy

Vercel will automatically deploy your application. The live URL will be something like https://your-project-name.vercel.app.

Step 4: Custom Domain (Optional)

You can add a custom domain in the Vercel dashboard under "Settings" > "Domains".
