# Phase 3: Mockup Development

> Create trendy UI without a designer + Consider Next.js componentization

## Purpose

Quickly validate ideas before actual implementation. **Even without a designer**, research UI/UX trends to create high-quality prototypes, designed for easy conversion to Next.js components later.

## What to Do in This Phase

1. **Screen Mockups**: Implement UI with HTML/CSS
2. **Interactions**: Implement behavior with basic JavaScript
3. **Data Simulation**: Simulate API responses with JSON files
4. **Feature Validation**: Test user flows

## Deliverables

```
mockup/
├── pages/          # HTML pages
│   ├── index.html
│   ├── login.html
│   └── ...
├── styles/         # CSS
│   └── main.css
├── scripts/        # JavaScript
│   └── app.js
└── data/           # JSON mock data
    ├── users.json
    └── products.json

docs/02-design/
└── mockup-spec.md  # Mockup specification
```

## PDCA Application

- **Plan**: What screens/features to mock up
- **Design**: Screen structure, interaction design
- **Do**: Implement HTML/CSS/JS
- **Check**: Verify feature behavior
- **Act**: Apply feedback and proceed to Phase 4

## Level-wise Application

| Level | Application Method |
|-------|-------------------|
| Starter | This stage may be the final deliverable |
| Dynamic | For validation before next stages |
| Enterprise | For quick PoC |

## Core Principles

```
"Working prototype over perfect code"

- Pure HTML/CSS/JS without frameworks
- JSON files instead of APIs for data simulation
- Fast feedback loops
- Structure considering Next.js componentization
```

#### 4. Pre-Mockup Checklist

```markdown
## UI Research Checklist

- [ ] Analyzed 3+ similar services
- [ ] Decided color palette (Primary, Secondary, Accent)
- [ ] Selected typography (Heading, Body)
- [ ] Chose layout pattern (Grid, Bento, etc.)
- [ ] Collected reference design screenshots
```

## Design for Next.js Componentization

### Mockup → Component Transition Strategy

Considering **component separation** from the mockup stage makes Next.js transition easier.

#### 1. Design HTML Structure in Component Units

```html
<!-- ❌ Bad: Monolithic HTML -->
<div class="page">
  <header>...</header>
  <main>
    <div class="hero">...</div>
    <div class="features">...</div>
  </main>
  <footer>...</footer>
</div>

<!-- ✅ Good: Separated by component units -->
<!-- components/Header.html -->
<header data-component="Header">
  <nav data-component="Navigation">...</nav>
</header>

<!-- components/Hero.html -->
<section data-component="Hero">
  <h1 data-slot="title">...</h1>
  <p data-slot="description">...</p>
  <button data-component="Button" data-variant="primary">...</button>
</section>
```

#### 2. Separate CSS by Component

```
mockup/
├── styles/
│   ├── base/
│   │   ├── reset.css
│   │   └── variables.css      # CSS variables (design tokens)
│   ├── components/
│   │   ├── button.css
│   │   ├── card.css
│   │   ├── header.css
│   │   └── hero.css
│   └── pages/
│       └── home.css
```

#### 3. Create Component Mapping Document

```markdown
## Component Mapping (mockup → Next.js)

| Mockup File | Next.js Component | Props |
|-------------|------------------|-------|
| `components/button.html` | `components/ui/Button.tsx` | variant, size, disabled |
| `components/card.html` | `components/ui/Card.tsx` | title, description, image |
| `components/header.html` | `components/layout/Header.tsx` | user, navigation |
```

#### 4. Design Data Structure as Props

```javascript
// mockup/data/hero.json
{
  "title": "Innovative Service",
  "description": "We provide better experiences",
  "cta": {
    "label": "Get Started",
    "href": "/signup"
  },
  "image": "/hero-image.png"
}

// → When transitioning to Next.js
// components/Hero.tsx
interface HeroProps {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  cta: {
    label: string;
    href: string;
  };
  image: string;
}
```

### Next.js Transition Example

**Mockup (HTML)**:
```html
<!-- mockup/components/feature-card.html -->
<div class="feature-card" data-component="FeatureCard">
  <div class="feature-card__icon">🚀</div>
  <h3 class="feature-card__title">Fast Speed</h3>
  <p class="feature-card__description">We provide optimized performance.</p>
</div>
```

**Next.js Component**:
```tsx
// components/FeatureCard.tsx
interface FeatureCardProps {
  icon: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
}

export function FeatureCard({ icon, title, description }: FeatureCardProps) {
  return (
    <div className="feature-card">
      <div className="feature-card__icon">{icon}</div>
      <h3 className="feature-card__title">{title}</h3>
      <p className="feature-card__description">{description}</p>
    </div>
  );
