elastic-ui

A Vue 3 component library where things transform instead of appearing: a button grows into its dialog, a tab's indicator travels to the next tab, an answer flows in as a wave. Clean, soft and quiet, with one movement leading on each screen.

Built on Vue 3, Tailwind CSS v4, Reka UI and motion-v.

What is in it

Install

Published on npm as @joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui:

npm install @joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui motion-v

motion-v comes with it because it is a peer dependency; Vue and Tailwind CSS v4 are expected in the project.

The library ships no compiled CSS: the project's Tailwind builds its classes. In its main stylesheet:

@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui/tokens.css";
@source "../node_modules/@joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui/dist";

Then use the parts:

<script setup>
import { Button, PopoverMorph, PopoverMorphItem } from '@joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui'
import { Pencil, Trash2 } from '@lucide/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverMorph role="menu" label="Actions">
    <template #trigger>Actions</template>
    <PopoverMorphItem :icon="Pencil">Rename</PopoverMorphItem>
    <PopoverMorphItem :icon="Trash2">Delete</PopoverMorphItem>
  </PopoverMorph>
</template>

In your language

Every text the library writes on its own (names for screen readers, placeholders, default titles) can be set once:

import { ElasticUi } from '@joseestevez/vue-elastic-ui'

app.use(ElasticUi, { labels: { copy: 'Copiar', onThisPage: 'En esta página' } })

Themes

Every colour holds both themes through light-dark(), so the theme follows the system. data-theme="light" or "dark" on <html> forces one, and ThemeToggle switches it. Customize from the outside in: global tokens on :root (--color-accent, --radius-md…), then a part's own tokens (--card-radius, --popover-bg…), then variants, then class.

• DECISIONS.md: how it is made and why.
• npm run storybook: every part, by family, in every situation that matters.
