Architecture Overview

Section titled “Architecture Overview”

Sparkle is organized as a pnpm workspace with focused packages that work together seamlessly:

@sparkle/
├── ui/           # 🎨 React component library
├── theme/        # 🌈 Design tokens and theme providers
├── types/        # 📝 Shared TypeScript definitions
├── utils/        # 🔧 Utility functions and React hooks
├── error-testing/# 🧪 Error testing framework
└── config/       # ⚙️ Shared build configurations

Smart Dependencies

Section titled “Smart Dependencies”

Each package has clear responsibilities and minimal dependencies:

@sparkle/ui
├── @sparkle/theme     # ← Design tokens & theming
├── @sparkle/types     # ← TypeScript definitions
└── @sparkle/utils     # ← Shared utilities


@sparkle/theme
└── @sparkle/types     # ← Core type definitions


@sparkle/utils
└── @sparkle/types     # ← Type safety everywhere

This architecture means you can:

  • Install only what you need - Use just @sparkle/theme for design tokens
  • Avoid circular dependencies - Clean, predictable import paths
  • Scale confidently - Add new packages without breaking existing ones
  • Update incrementally - Each package versions independently
