Implementation Approach

For each component:

1. Define Props Interface: Start by defining the component's props interface with proper TypeScript types
2. Create Basic Structure: Implement the basic component structure with proper HTML semantics
3. Add Styling: Apply consistent styling using Tailwind CSS classes
4. Implement Behavior: Add state management and event handlers
5. Test Edge Cases: Ensure the component handles all edge cases gracefully
6. Add Accessibility: Ensure proper ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation
7. Document Usage: Add JSDoc comments explaining how to use the component
8. Create Examples: Include usage examples in comments or documentation

This phased approach ensures that the most critical components are implemented first, providing immediate value while building toward a complete component library.
