KpiCard Component: From Figma To Implementation

Hey guys! Today, we're diving into the creation of a brand-new component for our web app: the KpiCard. This component is designed to display Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in a clear and engaging way. Let’s break down the journey, from understanding the design to the final implementation. Let's get started!

Description

The KpiCard component is all about making those crucial metrics pop! It's designed to give users a quick snapshot of performance over a specific period. Think of it as your go-to component for highlighting important data points. We're talking about showing key metrics for a chosen timeframe, like "Past 30 Days." The component will also feature a PR (Pull Request) count in a stylish chip, making it easy to see at a glance. And of course, we'll have the main metric displays: a prominent count and a descriptive label to give context. To keep things consistent and efficient, we'll be leveraging our existing Chip component from the atoms library. So, it’s all about clarity, context, and reusability!

Figma Design Inspiration

Our journey begins with the beautiful designs crafted in Figma. The Figma design serves as our North Star, ensuring we stay true to the intended look and feel. You can check out the design and get all the visual details here: Cyke Web App Figma Design. Specifically, we’re focusing on the node with ID 350:6856. This node gives us a clear picture of how the KpiCard should look and behave. It’s super important to keep this design handy as we build, so we can make sure every pixel is perfect and every interaction feels just right. Figma is our guide, and we want to make sure our component is a faithful and functional representation of the design.

Key Features of the KpiCard

So, what exactly makes the KpiCard component so special? Let's dive into the specifics. First off, it's all about displaying those vital KPI metrics for a given time period – think “Past 30 Days,” “Last Quarter,” or any other relevant timeframe. This helps users understand the context of the data they’re seeing. Next up, we're including a PR count right there in a chip. This little detail adds a lot of value by giving a quick view of activity related to the metric. We've got two main displays for the metrics themselves: a clear, bold count that grabs attention, and a concise label that provides context. This combo ensures the data is both eye-catching and easily understandable. And to top it off, we're reusing our existing Chip component from the atoms library. This not only keeps our design consistent but also saves us time and effort. Reusability is key, guys!

Component Details

The KpiCard component is designed to be a versatile and informative element within our application. It’s more than just a pretty face; it’s a powerhouse of data presentation. Let's break down what makes this component tick. First and foremost, it's built to display those crucial KPI metrics, giving users a quick snapshot of performance. The time period indicator, like “Past 30 Days,” is a key feature, providing context to the data. This ensures that users understand the timeframe they're looking at. Then we have the PR count, neatly displayed in a chip. This gives a quick view of the activity level associated with the KPI. And of course, the heart of the component: the metric display. This consists of two parts: the count, which is the main numerical value, and the label, which describes what the metric represents. This dual display ensures clarity and context, making the data easy to grasp. To keep things consistent and efficient, we’re leveraging our existing Chip component from the atoms library. This not only maintains visual harmony but also promotes code reusability. The KpiCard is all about delivering essential information in a clear, concise, and visually appealing way.

Displays KPI Metrics

The core function of the KpiCard component is to display KPI metrics, and it does so with clarity and precision. We're talking about presenting data in a way that's not only visually appealing but also immediately understandable. The component is designed to highlight key performance indicators, giving users a quick grasp of how things are progressing. This means that at a glance, someone should be able to see the metric and its value without any ambiguity. The clear display of these metrics is crucial for making informed decisions. We want users to be able to quickly assess the situation and understand the story the data is telling. It's not just about showing numbers; it's about conveying meaningful insights. So, the design and implementation of this display are paramount to the KpiCard's success. We're aiming for a balance of visual impact and informational clarity, ensuring that the metrics jump off the screen and into the user's understanding.

PR Count in a Chip

One of the cool features of our KpiCard component is the inclusion of a PR count, displayed right there in a chip. This isn't just about showing a number; it's about providing extra context and a quick snapshot of activity. The PR count gives an immediate indication of how much is happening related to the KPI. Is there a lot of activity? Is it a quiet period? This chip adds another layer of insight. We've chosen to use a chip for this because it's a clean, compact, and visually distinct way to present this information. It doesn't overwhelm the main metric, but it's there for those who want to dive a little deeper. This little detail can make a big difference in how users interpret the data. It's all about adding value and making the KpiCard as informative as possible. So, the PR count in a chip is a small but mighty addition to our component.

Count and Label Metrics

The KpiCard component presents metrics in a two-part display: the count and the label. This dynamic duo works together to provide both the numerical value and the context behind it. The count, of course, is the star of the show – the actual number representing the KPI. It's displayed prominently to grab attention and convey the core metric at a glance. But a number without context is just a number. That's where the label comes in. The label is a concise description of what the metric represents. It provides the crucial context that turns the count into meaningful information. Together, the count and label give users a clear and complete understanding of the KPI. It's all about making the data accessible and actionable. This two-part approach ensures that the KpiCard isn't just showing numbers; it's telling a story. And that story is one of performance, progress, and insight.

Uses Existing Chip Component from Atoms

To keep things consistent and efficient, the KpiCard component leverages our existing Chip component from the atoms library. This is a smart move for a few reasons. First off, it ensures a consistent look and feel across our application. By reusing a component that's already part of our design system, we maintain visual harmony. This makes for a more polished and professional user experience. Secondly, it's all about efficiency. We're not reinventing the wheel here. We're using a component that's already built, tested, and ready to go. This saves us time and effort, allowing us to focus on other aspects of the KpiCard. And thirdly, it promotes code reusability. By relying on existing components, we're keeping our codebase clean and maintainable. This is a win-win-win situation! So, using the Chip component is not just a design choice; it's a strategic decision that benefits our entire development process. It’s these kinds of smart choices that make our projects more efficient and our products more consistent.
