Fractal is a Node.js tool for building, previewing, and documenting website component libraries and design systems. It supports any templating language and can generate static documentation sites or run a live dev server with hot reloading.

Use cases

  • build a component library for a design system
  • document UI patterns with live previews
  • generate a static styleguide site from components
  • preview reusable UI components in isolation
  • organize pattern libraries with any templating language

When to choose

  • you need to document and preview a component or pattern library
  • your team is building a design system with flexible templating choices
  • you want a static styleguide site generated from your components

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose static site generator for content sites
  • your project is not component-based
  • you need actively developed tooling with frequent releases
