Enjoyed the article [Neha Sharma](https://hashnode.com/@helloneha)!

By the way, what are your thoughts on how much is too many variants for a component to be moved into separate files?

It is a good question. The reason is as a user you want to have 100% flexibility but as the design system developer it could be a challenge for you to maintain so much. From my experience, keep it to a few but a few doesn't mean that missing the flexibility.

For moving to a new file, the rule one can follow is if by changing the one variant we need to change other varients too then move to a new file.

That's a good rule of thumb to remember. Thanks for sharing [Neha Sharma](https://hashnode.com/@helloneha)!
