Usage

Basic Component Usage

from twitter_streamlit_ui.components.cards import FeatureCard
from twitter_streamlit_ui.components.forms import TweetForm
from twitter_streamlit_ui.styles.theme import apply_theme

# Apply theme
apply_theme()

# Use components
feature_card = FeatureCard(
    title="Tweet Generator",
    description="Create engaging tweets with AI",
    icon="🐦"
)
feature_card.render()

tweet_form = TweetForm()
tweet_form.render()

State Management

from twitter_streamlit_ui.utils.state import StateManager

# Initialize state
state = StateManager()
state.initialize()

# Update state
state.update("current_tweet", tweet_data)

Error Handling

from twitter_streamlit_ui.components.feedback import ErrorBoundary

with ErrorBoundary():
    # Your code here
    pass

Best Practices

1. Component Reusability

   • Use existing components when possible
   • Create new components only when necessary
   • Follow the established patterns

2. State Management

   • Use the StateManager for all state
   • Avoid direct session state manipulation
   • Keep state updates atomic

3. Performance

   • Use lazy loading for heavy components
   • Implement caching where appropriate
   • Monitor render performance

4. Accessibility

   • Include ARIA labels
   • Ensure keyboard navigation
   • Test with screen readers

5. Error Handling

   • Use ErrorBoundary components
   • Provide clear error messages
   • Include recovery options

Future Improvements

1. Component Library

   • Add more specialized components
   • Enhance existing components
   • Create component documentation

2. Theme System

   • Add more theme options
   • Implement theme switching
   • Create custom theme builder

3. Performance

   • Implement virtual scrolling
   • Add performance monitoring
   • Optimize resource loading

4. Testing

   • Add component tests
   • Implement E2E tests
   • Create test documentation
