Building a component library in Compose for a large-scale banking application
Last year, we started migrating to Jetpack Compose at DNB Bank for all our Banking applications. We saw that our applications had a lot of components that could be abstracted away as simple APIs in Compose, which made it easier to keep our design consistent across our domain.
In this talk, I will talk about how we started this initiative and how we set up the architecture for our design system. Then, I will explain a robust approach when creating components as atoms & molecules and how this helps us to collaborate with the designers in our teams. Moreover, I will be going through how we ensured banking-level quality for our compose components and which technologies we use today to make it easier for our developers to work with these libraries. Then, I will touch upon the release and dependency management of these libraries, and how we introduced this to our developers. In the end, I will be discussing the challenges and learnings for creating a component library with Compose.
Join me in this session, where we will explore the beauties of library development with Jetpack Compose!
