+## Shared Components
+
+When creating new UI components, consider whether they should be added to the shared components package (`packages/shared-components`) rather than directly in the main `src/` directory. Components should be placed in shared components if they:
+
+- Are reusable across different parts of the application
+- Could potentially be used by other Element projects (Element Desktop, Aurora, Element modules...)
+- Follow established patterns and don't have tight coupling to specific application logic

+
+#### Variables
+
+6. Use the `$font-*` variables instead of manual font-size values (e.g., `$font-12px`, `$font-15px`).
+    - Note: These are deprecated. Prefer Compound typography tokens like `var(--cpd-font-body-md-regular)` for new code.

+
+### CSS module (\*.module.css)
+
+**CSS modules provide locally-scoped class names and are the preferred approach for new shared components.**
+
+#### Naming and file structure
+
+1. The CSS module file MUST have the same name as the component with `.module.css` extension.
+   For example: `PlayPauseButton.module.css` for `PlayPauseButton.tsx`.
+2. Place the CSS module file in the same directory as the component.
+3. Class names should be semantic and describe their purpose, NOT prefixed with `mx_`.
+   For example: `.button`, `.label`, `.content`, `.title`.
+4. Use camelCase for multi-word class names: `.playButton`, `.primaryAction`, `.errorMessage`.
+
+#### Importing and usage
+
+5. Import the CSS module as `styles`:
+
+    ```tsx
+    import styles from "./MyComponent.module.css";
+    ```
+
+6. Apply classes using the styles object:
+
+    ```tsx
+    <div className={styles.container}>
+        <span className={styles.label}>{label}</span>
+        <button className={styles.button}>Click me</button>
+    </div>
+    ```
+
+7. Combine multiple classes using `classNames` utility:
+
+    ```tsx
+    import classNames from "classnames";
+
+    <div className={classNames(styles.pill, className)}>
+        <span className={styles.label}>{label}</span>
+    </div>;
+    ```
+
+#### Styling guidelines
+
+8. Use Compound Design Tokens for all styling values:
+    - Colors: `var(--cpd-color-bg-subtle-primary)`, `var(--cpd-color-text-primary)`
+    - Typography: `var(--cpd-font-body-md-regular)`, `var(--cpd-font-heading-sm-semibold)`
+    - Spacing: `var(--cpd-space-2x)`, `var(--cpd-space-4x)`
+    - Border radius: `var(--cpd-radius-pill-effect)` or standard px values for design-specific needs
+
+9. Use CSS custom properties for component-specific themeable values:
+
+    ```css
+    .flex {
+        display: var(--mx-flex-display, unset);
+        flex-direction: var(--mx-flex-direction, unset);
+        align-items: var(--mx-flex-align, unset);
+        gap: var(--mx-flex-gap, unset);
+    }
+    ```
+
+10. Avoid nesting selectors when possible. CSS modules provide scoping, so nesting is rarely needed.
+11. If `!important` is necessary (e.g., to override Compound component styles), add a [comment](#comments) explaining why:
+
+    ```css
+    .button {
+        background-color: var(--cpd-color-bg-subtle-primary) !important; /* override Compound default */
+    }
+    ```
+
+12. CSS modules do not support PostCSS variables (`$variable`). Always use CSS custom properties (`var(--variable)`) or direct values.

 If you do MVVM right, your view should be dumb i.e it gets data from the view model and merely displays it.

-### Practical guidelines for MVVM in element-web
+## Why are we using MVVM?
+
+1. MVVM forces a separation of concern i.e we will no longer have large react components that have a lot of state and rendering code mixed together. This improves code readability and makes it easier to introduce changes.
+2. Introduces the possibility of code reuse. You can reuse an old view model with a new view or vice versa.
+3. Adding to the point above, in future you could import element-web view models to your project and supply your own views thus creating something similar to the [hydrogen sdk](https://github.com/element-hq/hydrogen-web/blob/master/doc/SDK.md).

+Your view must call this hook with the view-model as argument. Think of this as your view subscribing to the view model.<br>
+This hook returns the snapshot from your view-model.
+
+## Disposables and helper hooks
+
+Disposables provide a mechanism for tracking and releases resources. This is necessary for avoiding memory leaks.
+
+### Lifecycle of a view model
+
+The lifecycle of a given view model is from its creation (usually through the constructor i.e `new FooViewModel(prop1, prop2)`) to the time the `dispose` method on it is called (eg: `fooViewModel.dispose()`). It is the responsibility of whoever creates the view model to call the dispose method when the view model is no longer necessary.
+
+Disposable work by tracking anything that needs to be disposed of and then sequentially disposing them when `viewModel.dispose()` is called.
+
+### How to use disposables
+
+Consider the following scenarios:
+
+#### Scenario 1: Your view model listens to some event on an event emitter <br>
+
+In the example given below, how do you ensure that the listener on `props.emitter` is removed when the view model is disposed?
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        props.emitter.on("my-event", this.doSomething());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can use disposables to remove the listener when the view-model is disposed:
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.disposables.trackListener(props.emitter, "my-event", this.doSomething());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Scenario 2: Your view model creates sub view models <br>
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.barViewModel = new BarViewModel(...);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Here, we want to ensure that when `FooViewModel.dispose()` is called, it also disposes any sub view models (in this case `BarViewModel`):
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.barViewModel = this.disposables.track(new BarViewModel(...));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Scenario 3: Tracking and disposing arbitrary resources <br>
+
+A disposable is:
+
+- a function
+- an object with `dispose` method (like a view model)
+
+You can therefore use disposables to track any resource that must be eventually relinquished, eg:
+
+```ts
+class Call {
+    ....
+    public endCall();
+    public stopConnections();
+}
+
+class CallViewModel {
+    ...
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        const call = new Call();
+        // When the view model is disposed, the following call methods will be called
+        this.disposables.track(() => {
+            call.endCall();
+            call.stopConnections();
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Disposing view models from non-MVVMed react components
+
+While we eventually want all our UI code to use MVVM, the current reality is that most of the existing code is just normal react components. We follow a bottoms up approach when it comes to moving code over to MVVM i.e we deal with child components before dealing with parent components.
+
+This means that you need to dispose child view models from the non-MVVMed parent component.
+
+#### Class component:
+
+Create the view model in `componentDidMount()` and dispose the view model in `componentWillUnmount()`:
+
+```ts
+class FooComponent extends Component {
+    componentDidMount() {
+        this.barViewModel = new BarViewModel(...);
+    }
+
+    componentWillUnmount() {
+        this.barViewModel.dispose();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Functional Component:
+
+Use the `useCreateAutoDisposedViewModel` hook:
+
+```ts
+export function FooComponent(props) {
+    const vm = useCreateAutoDisposedViewModel(() => new BarViewModel(...));
+    return <BarView vm={vm}>;
+}
+```
+
+This hook will call the `dispose` method on the view model when `FooComponent` is unmounted.

+# @element-hq/web-shared-components
+
+Shared React components library for Element Web, Aurora, Element
+modules... This package provides opinionated UI components built on top of the
+[Compound Design System](https://compound.element.io) and [Compound
+Web](https://github.com/element-hq/compound-web). This is not a design system
+by itself, but rather a set of larger components.
+
+## Installation in a new project
+
+When adding this library to a new project, as well as installing
+`@element-hq/web-shared-components` as normal, you will also need to add
+[compound-web](https://github.com/element-hq/compound-web) as a peer
+dependency:
+
+```bash
+yarn add @element-hq/web-shared-components
+yarn add @vector-im/compound-web
+```
+
+(This avoids problems where we end up with different versions of compound-web in the
+top-level project and web-shared-components).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Import
+
+Both JavaScript and CSS can be imported as follows:
+
+```javascript
+import { RoomListHeaderView, useViewModel } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+import "@element-hq/web-shared-components/dist/element-web-shared-components.css";
+```
+
+or in CSS file:
+
+```css
+@import url("@element-hq/web-shared-components");
+```
+
+### Using Components
+
+There are two kinds of components in this library:
+
+- _regular_ react component which doesn't follow specific pattern.
+- _view_ component(MVVM pattern).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> These components are available in the project storybook.
+
+#### Regular Components
+
+These components can be used directly by passing props. Example:
+
+```tsx
+import { Flex } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+function MyApp() {
+    return <Flex align="center" />;
+}
+```
+
+#### View (MVVM) Components
+
+These components follow the [MVVM pattern](../../docs/MVVM.md). A ViewModel
+instance should be provided as a prop.
+
+Here's a basic example:
+
+```jsx
+import { ViewExample } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+
+function MyApp() {
+    const viewModel = new ViewModelExample();
+    return <ViewExample vm={viewModel} />;
+}
+```
+
+### Utilities
+
+#### Internationalization
+
+- `useI18n()` - Hook for translations
+- `I18nApi` - Internationalization API utilities
+
+#### Date & Time
+
+- `DateUtils` - Date formatting and manipulation
+- `humanize` - Human-readable time formatting
+
+#### Formatting
+
+- `FormattingUtils` - Text and data formatting utilities
+- `numbers` - Number formatting utilities
+
+## Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js >= 20.0.0
+- Yarn 1.22.22+
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+yarn install
+
+# Build the library
+yarn prepare
+```
+
+### Running Storybook
+
+```bash
+yarn storybook
+```
+
+### Write components
+
+Most components should be written as [MVVM pattern](../../docs/MVVM.md) view
+components. See existing components for examples. The exceptions are low level
+components that don't need a view model.
+
+### Write Storybook Stories
+
+All components should have accompanying Storybook stories for documentation and visual testing. Stories are written in TypeScript using the [Component Story Format (CSF)](https://storybook.js.org/docs/api/csf).
+
+#### Story File Structure
+
+Place the story file next to the component with the `.stories.tsx` extension:
+
+```
+MyComponent/
+├── MyComponent.tsx
+├── MyComponent.module.css
+└── MyComponent.stories.tsx
+```
+
+#### Regular Component Stories
+
+For regular React components (non-MVVM), create stories by defining a meta object and story variations:
+
+```tsx
+import type { Meta, StoryObj } from "@storybook/react-vite";
+import { fn } from "storybook/test";
+import { MyComponent } from "./MyComponent";
+
+const meta = {
+    title: "Category/MyComponent",
+    component: MyComponent,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // Default args for all stories
+        label: "Default Label",
+        onClick: fn(), // Mock function for tracking interactions
+    },
+} satisfies Meta<typeof MyComponent>;
+
+export default meta;
+type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;
+
+// Default story uses the default args
+export const Default: Story = {};
+
+// Override specific args for variations
+export const WithCustomLabel: Story = {
+    args: {
+        label: "Custom Label",
+    },
+};
+
+export const Disabled: Story = {
+    args: {
+        disabled: true,
+    },
+};
+```
+
+#### MVVM Component Stories
+
+For MVVM components, create a wrapper component that uses `useMockedViewModel`:
+
+```tsx
+import React, { type JSX } from "react";
+import { fn } from "storybook/test";
+import type { Meta, StoryFn } from "@storybook/react-vite";
+import { MyComponentView, type MyComponentViewSnapshot, type MyComponentViewActions } from "./MyComponentView";
+import { useMockedViewModel } from "../../useMockedViewModel";
+
+// Combine snapshot and actions for easier typing
+type MyComponentProps = MyComponentViewSnapshot & MyComponentViewActions;
+
+// Wrapper component that creates a mocked ViewModel
+const MyComponentViewWrapper = ({ onAction, ...rest }: MyComponentProps): JSX.Element => {
+    const vm = useMockedViewModel(rest, {
+        onAction,
+    });
+    return <MyComponentView vm={vm} />;
+};
+
+export default {
+    title: "Category/MyComponentView",
+    component: MyComponentViewWrapper,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // Snapshot properties (state)
+        title: "Default Title",
+        isLoading: false,
+        // Action properties (callbacks)
+        onAction: fn(),
+    },
+} as Meta<typeof MyComponentViewWrapper>;
+
+const Template: StoryFn<typeof MyComponentViewWrapper> = (args) => <MyComponentViewWrapper {...args} />;
+
+export const Default = Template.bind({});
+
+export const Loading = Template.bind({});
+Loading.args = {
+    isLoading: true,
+};
+```
+
+Thanks to this approach, we can directly use primitives in the story arguments instead of a view model object.
+
+#### Linking Figma Designs
+
+This package uses [@storybook/addon-designs](https://github.com/storybookjs/addon-designs) to embed Figma designs directly in Storybook. This helps developers compare their implementation with the design specs.
+
+1. **Get the Figma URL**: Open your design in Figma, click "Share" → "Copy link"
+2. **Add to story parameters**: Include the `design` object in the meta's `parameters`
+3. **Supported URL formats**:
+    - File links: `https://www.figma.com/file/...`
+    - Design links: `https://www.figma.com/design/...`
+    - Specific node: `https://www.figma.com/design/...?node-id=123-456`
+
+Example with Figma integration:
+
+```tsx
+export default {
+    title: "Room List/RoomListSearchView",
+    component: RoomListSearchViewWrapper,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // ... your args
+    },
+    parameters: {
+        design: {
+            type: "figma",
+            url: "https://www.figma.com/design/vlmt46QDdE4dgXDiyBJXqp/ER-33-Left-Panel?node-id=98-1979",
+        },
+    },
+} as Meta<typeof RoomListSearchViewWrapper>;
+```
+
+The Figma design will appear in the "Design" tab in Storybook.
+
+### Tests
+
+Two types of tests are available: unit tests and visual regression tests.
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+These tests cover the logic of the components and utilities. Built with Vitest
+and React Testing Library.
+
+```bash
+yarn test:unit
+```
+
+### Visual Regression Tests
+
+These tests ensure the UI components render correctly.
+Built with Storybook and run under vitest using playwright.
+
+```bash
+yarn test:storybook:update
+```
+
+Each story will be rendered and a screenshot will be taken and compared to the
+existing baseline. If there are visual changes or AXE violation, the test will
+fail.
+
+Screenshots are located in `packages/shared-components/__vis__/`.
