Overview
Patterns show how Tecton components come together into real, production-ready screens. Start with the design principles that guide good layouts, reach for a common layout when you need a proven starting point, then study end-to-end page examples you can adapt to your own module.
When building a form in a feature: how to lay out and space fields for fast, unambiguous entry, and how to validate them clearly.
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.
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.
When deciding what in the main content of a feature should draw the eye. Establishing primary, secondary, and tertiary emphasis with Tecton components.
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.
