creating-styled-wrappers

To wrap base React components without duplicating internal logic, you compose styled wrappers around the base primitives, applying design-system tokens and leveraging data-* attributes to drive state-based visuals.

The best way to refactor a React component library to base primitives while preserving visuals is to build a styled wrapper layer that composes the base components, enforcing consistent design-system alignment without reimplementing logic.

Data- attributes work in styled wrappers by providing hooks for state-driven styling, allowing you to apply visual changes based on component state while keeping the base component logic intact.

Yes, you can use styled wrappers to enforce design-system tokens and variants during a refactor by composing the wrapper layer around your base components, ensuring consistent theming and visual alignment across your UI.

You should not use a styled wrapper layer around base components if your refactor requires altering the internal logic of the primitives, as this approach focuses on applying styling without duplicating or reimplementing behavior.
