Pattern Catalog
Documentation that names each UI pattern and how to implement it.
Core Idea
A pattern catalog names each reusable screen fragment—cards, lists, banners—and captures the contract each must follow. It documents input props, events, accessibility hooks, and ownership so teams can evolve patterns without rediscovering requirements.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong formalizes catalogs so render helpers share the same vocabulary as UX docs. That shared definition lets render functions and partial updates stay consistent as the JavaScript series scales to larger products.
