Quick Start

1. CSS Setup (Required)

Spire UI uses Tailwind CSS v4's @theme directive for theming. Add these imports to your main CSS file:

/* app.css */
@import "@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/theme.css";
@import "tailwindcss";

/* Required: Tell Tailwind to scan component files for utility classes */
@source "../node_modules/@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/dist/**/*.js";

• theme.css - Must be imported before tailwindcss so Tailwind processes the theme tokens
• @source - Required for Tailwind to discover which utility classes the components use

2. Vue Plugin Setup

// main.ts
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { SpireUI } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

// Optional: Configure global defaults
app.use(SpireUI, {
  defaults: {
    form: { variant: 'outline', size: 'md' },
    button: { variant: 'primary', size: 'md' },
  }
})

app.mount('#app')

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Button, Badge, Input, Card } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'
import type { ButtonProps } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <Card>
    <Input placeholder="Enter your email" />
    <Button variant="primary">Subscribe</Button>
  </Card>
</template>

Global Configuration

Spire UI supports global default configuration for components using the Vue plugin pattern. This allows you to set default prop values across your entire application.

Plugin Setup

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { SpireUI } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'
import type { SpireUIOptions } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'

const app = createApp(App)

app.use(SpireUI, {
  defaults: {
    // Form components: Input, Textarea, Select, NumberInput, Autocomplete
    form: {
      variant: 'filled',  // 'outline' | 'filled' | 'underline'
      size: 'md',         // 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
    },
    // Button component
    button: {
      variant: 'primary', // 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger' | 'ghost' | 'contrast' | 'outline'
      size: 'md',         // 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
      radius: 'md',       // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'full'
    },
    // Badge component
    badge: {
      variant: 'solid',   // 'solid' | 'flat' | 'outline'
      color: 'default',   // 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'danger' | 'info'
      size: 'md',         // 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
    },
    // Avatar component
    avatar: {
      size: 'md',         // 'xs' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
      color: 'default',   // 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'danger'
      radius: 'full',     // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'full'
    },
    // Alert component
    alert: {
      variant: 'flat',    // 'flat' | 'solid'
      color: 'default',   // 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'danger'
      radius: 'md',       // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'full'
    },
    // Spinner component
    spinner: {
      size: 'md',         // 'xs' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl'
      variant: 'ring',    // 'ring' | 'dots'
    },
    // Tabs component
    tabs: {
      variant: 'solid',   // 'solid' | 'underline' | 'bordered'
      color: 'default',   // 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'danger'
      size: 'md',         // 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
      radius: 'md',       // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'full'
    },
    // Progress component
    progress: {
      variant: 'linear',  // 'linear' | 'circular'
      color: 'primary',   // 'default' | 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'danger'
      size: 'md',         // 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
    },
    // Card component
    card: {
      shadow: 'md',       // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
      radius: 'lg',       // 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
    },
    // Icon component
    icon: {
      size: 'md',         // 'xs' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl' | '2xl'
      stroke: 'regular',  // 'thin' | 'light' | 'regular' | 'medium' | 'bold'
    },
  }
} as SpireUIOptions)

app.mount('#app')

Resolution Order

Props are resolved in the following order:

1. Prop value - If a prop is explicitly passed to a component, it always takes precedence
2. Global default - Value from the plugin configuration
3. Hardcoded fallback - Built-in default value in the component

<!-- Uses global default variant, but overrides size -->
<Input size="lg" />

<!-- Uses both global defaults for variant and size -->
<Input />

<!-- Explicit props always win -->
<Input variant="underline" size="sm" />

Programmatic Configuration

You can also configure defaults programmatically:

import { configureDefaults, getDefaults, resetDefaults } from '@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue'

// Set defaults at runtime
configureDefaults({
  form: { variant: 'filled' },
  button: { variant: 'secondary' }
})

// Get current defaults
const currentDefaults = getDefaults()

// Reset to empty (use component fallbacks)
resetDefaults()

Theming

CSS Imports

Spire UI provides two CSS exports:

For Tailwind v4 projects:

/* app.css */
@import "@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/theme.css";
@import "tailwindcss";

/* Required: Scan component files for utility classes */
@source "../node_modules/@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/dist/**/*.js";

You can also import individual theme files:

@import "@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/theme/base.css";      /* Color palette */
@import "@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/theme/semantic.css";  /* Semantic tokens + dark mode */
@import "@sabrenski/spire-ui-vue/theme/components.css"; /* Component-specific tokens */

Dark Mode

Add the dark class to <html> or any parent element:

<html class="dark">

Theme Variants

• Light (default)
• Dark (class="dark")
• Ocean (class="ocean")
• Forest (class="forest")
• Sunset (class="sunset")
• Rose (class="rose")
• Midnight (class="midnight")

Customizing Colors

Override the base color variables to customize the entire palette:

:root {
  --color-primary-base: oklch(55% 0.2 250);  /* Blue primary */
  --color-danger-base: oklch(55% 0.22 27);
}

Or override individual semantic tokens:

:root {
  --color-primary: oklch(0.6 0.2 250);
  --color-primary-hover: oklch(0.55 0.2 250);
}
