Atomic design
Molecules
Atomic design is a methodology composed of five distinct stages working together to create interface design systems in a more deliberate and hierarchical manner.
Atomic design is atoms, molecules, organisms, templates, and pages concurrently working together to create effective interface design systems.
In interfaces, molecules are relatively simple groups of UI elements functioning together as a unit. For example, a form label, search input, and button can join together to create a search form molecule. A search form molecule is composed of a label atom, input atom, and button atom.
