Pattern Lab PHP is a PHP-based builder for Pattern Lab, a frontend workshop environment for creating atomic design systems and UI pattern libraries. It compiles Mustache-based patterns into a browsable styleguide with nested pattern includes, dynamic data, and viewport tools.
Use cases
- build an atomic design system with nested UI components
- generate a living styleguide from Mustache templates
- prototype responsive UI components with dynamic data
- document and showcase UI patterns for a design team
- create a component library with pattern lineage and annotations
When to choose
- you specifically want the PHP/Mustache edition of Pattern Lab for legacy projects
- your team builds design systems around atomic design principles
- you need a self-contained prototyping tool with a built-in web server
When to avoid
- starting a new project - Pattern Lab is archived and the PHP edition's last release was 2016
- you want active maintenance or modern tooling - prefer the Node edition or other design system tools
- you need a production static site generator rather than a component workshop
