Chapter 07

Components

Small pieces, loosely held together. Each one is real: the same code that runs on the portfolio, drawn from the same tokens. Try them.

Interaction

Actions and fields.

The contact form is where the system gets pressed hardest, so it is where the details live: a fill that sweeps in on hover, a loader that holds long enough to read, a hairline that turns violet when you type.

Send button

Hover for the sweep, press for the loader. It rests as ink on paper and turns violet while it works.

Field

A hairline border at rest. Click in and it takes the primary colour; no ring, no glow.

Marks and labels.

The small mono caps line used above headings and beside dates. One class, .label-mono, keeps every one of them identical.

The signature

The theme switch.

There is no toggle button. A row of ticks forms two bands, and clicking either band is the switch. It is the same control that sits in the portfolio footer, and it changes this page too.

Underneath

The foundation.

The interactive primitives come from shadcn/ui on Radix: accessible behaviour for dialogs, accordions and labels, composed with class-variance-authority and merged with tailwind-merge. The finished pieces above are built on top of that, styled entirely with the Viola tokens, so a palette change reaches all of them at once.
