If you swap libraries, …
- you can only swap components with identical names.
This is not great, if the component name has changed in the meantime.
Instead, I would like to…
- swap components with different names.
- select the target component for swapping.
Even greater would be the option to…
- swap variants of components.
This might be helpful, when restructuring components. Sometimes we are splitting variants in two components or merging variants into one component.
We are using the “swap” feature for testing bigger changes in our design system. Making sure that changes won’t break designs, before we release them.
