How Would We Define “Build Effort”?
Each pattern has a complexity indicator using this simple scale:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Low | Simple implementation, minimal dependencies, little to no JavaScript required (e.g., Tooltip, Expandable Text). |
| 🟡 Medium | Requires state management, user interactions, and accessibility considerations (e.g., Load More, Modal). |
| 🔴 High | Complex UI behavior, animations, accessibility, performance optimizations, and multiple edge cases (e.g., Carousel, Infinite Scroll). |
