Patterns

Updated:

Foundational principles and end-to-end examples for composing Tecton components into complete feature interfaces.

Foundations

  • Designing Forms

    When building a form in a feature: how to lay out and space fields for fast, unambiguous entry, and how to validate them clearly.

  • Designing for States

    When the main content of a feature can be empty, loading, sparse, overflowing, failed, or color-coded, design every state deliberately, not just the happy path.

  • Layout & Spacing

    When composing the overall layout of a feature. How much white space to use, how to size and group regions and form fields, and how to separate them without clutter.

  • Visual Hierarchy

    When deciding what in the main content of a feature should draw the eye. Establishing primary, secondary, and tertiary emphasis with Tecton components.

Common Layouts

  • Common Containers

    Containers that use borders, drop shadows, or background colors to indicate grouping are commonly referred to as cards. This document provides examples of how to create various card style layouts using the surface component.

  • Common Forms

    End-to-end examples of common banking forms — account registration, card controls, secure message, and check deposit — built with Tecton components and the layout rules from Designing Forms.

Page examples

  • Account Details Page

    How to build an Account Details page in Tecton: a sortable, filterable transaction list with client-side search, column sorting, and pagination.

  • Account List Page

    How to build an Account List page in Tecton: a summary header and a searchable, client-filtered account list.

  • Account Settings Page

    How to build an Account Settings page in Tecton: six independent settings sections covering nickname, notifications, statement delivery, card management, spending limits, and overdraft protection.

  • Bank Statement Page

    How to build a Bank Statement page in Tecton: a computed account summary and a q2-data-table of transactions for a statement period.

  • Funds Transfer Page

    How to build a Funds Transfer form in Tecton: a single-column transfer with rich account options, a recurrence schedule, and client-side validation.

  • Message Center Page

    How to build a Message Center page in Tecton: a two-panel layout with a message list on the left and a selected message detail plus response form on the right.

  • Profile Page

    How to build a Profile page in Tecton: required-field validation for personal information, real-time cross-field password validation, and plain integration toggles.
