Zoonk Compound Components

Compound components

Use small composable primitives when callers need to arrange content or share styling. This convention applies to reusable UI building blocks; a page or domain composition can assemble several elements without turning every element into a new API.

Repository conventions

• Prefer existing @zoonk/ui primitives. Put generic patterns in packages/ui and domain compositions in the owning app or feature.
• A presentational primitive normally wraps one semantic element, accepts children and className, and exposes the relevant native props. Keep domain data fetching and orchestration in the composition that uses it.
• Use flat names such as MediaCard, MediaCardTitle, and MediaCardDescription; do not introduce namespaced exports such as MediaCard.Title.
• Use children for caller-owned content and className for styling overrides. Avoid bundles of title/description/action props or boolean variants when composition expresses the structure directly.
• Name shared primitives by their UI purpose. Domain-specific names remain appropriate for domain compositions.
• Use data-slot and Tailwind group/has variants for CSS coordination when needed. These attributes are not E2E selectors; preserve semantic elements, labels, and accessible relationships.
• Translate fixed copy in the component that owns it. Caller-supplied content is appropriate when it is part of the intended reusable API.

<MediaCard>
  <MediaCardContent>
    <MediaCardTitle>{title}</MediaCardTitle>
    <MediaCardDescription>{description}</MediaCardDescription>
  </MediaCardContent>
</MediaCard>

Shared state

Pure visual composition does not need a provider. Use context when siblings must share state/actions or controls outside the main frame need access to them. For those cases, consult Vercel composition patterns, retaining Zoonk's flat naming. Do not add a provider solely to pass static content.

Use E2E coverage for user interactions according to the repository testing guidance; do not add isolated React component tests for these primitives.
