Patterns
Cross-component recipes — how multiple BDS pieces compose into common product moments.
Patterns answer the question "I'm building X, what does BDS recommend?" Each pattern is a reusable composition with a recommended structure, the components it uses, and notes on accessibility and edge cases.
Planned patterns
- Forms — single-column, multi-step wizard, inline edit, sheet-driven edit
- Empty states — no data, error, permission denied, search no-results
- Page templates — dashboard shell, settings page, list-detail, two-pane editor
- Navigation — primary nav, sidebar, breadcrumbs, pagination
- Notifications — toast, banner, inline alert, modal confirmation
Patterns are the next major content fill-in. Most are documented partially in
stories/foundation/theming/Blueprints.mdxand the Recipes section of Storybook — both should consolidate here.
