Step 5: Deploying

Put your playground online.

Build for Production

Build the site for production.
Check for any errors.

Deploy to Vercel/Netlify

Help me deploy this to [Vercel/Netlify].
Walk me through the steps.

Test the Live Site

Visit your deployed URL:

• All components load
• Controls work
• Code snippets display
• Navigation works

Share It

Your component playground is now public.

This is useful for:

• Sharing your work with others
• Reference for your own projects
• Portfolio piece showing technical ability

Checkpoint

• Site builds without errors
• Deployed successfully
• All features work live

What You Learned

• Deploying frontend applications
• Production builds
• Sharing your work

Congratulations

You've built an interactive component documentation site from scratch.

This is a significant project. You now understand:

• How components work
• How props customize components
• How state enables interactivity
• How to document code for others

Ideas for Extending

• Add more components
• Add search functionality
• Add dark mode toggle
• Add copy-to-clipboard for code
• Add variant previews (show all variants at once)
• Add design tokens page
• Generate prop tables automatically

Going Further

With these skills, you can:

• Build component libraries for real projects
• Understand any React/Svelte codebase better
• Create documentation for design systems
• Contribute to open-source component libraries

Exercises

1. Run the production build, fix any errors Claude flags, then deploy to Vercel or Netlify using the walkthrough prompt.
2. Visit your live URL and verify all four checks: components load, controls work, code snippets display, and navigation works.
3. Pick one extension idea (dark mode toggle, copy-to-clipboard, or search) and add it, then redeploy — turning your playground into a stronger portfolio piece.
