Getting Started

Add Windi UI to your project by running one of the following commands:

# pnpm
pnpm add windi-vue

# yarn
yarn add windi-vue

# npm
npm install windi-vue

Usage

Add the Windi UI theme file and the darkMode class in your tailwind.config.cjs file as shown below:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: ['./index.html', './src/**/*.{vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx}', 'node_modules/windi-vue/dist/theme/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}'],
  darkMode: 'class',
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Component registration

With Windi UI, you have the flexibility to register components precisely as you wish:

Import All Components

To import all the components provided by Windi UI, add WindiUI in your main entry file as shown below:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import windiTheme from 'windi-vue/dist/theme/windiTheme'
import WindiUI from 'windi-vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(WindiUI, windiTheme)
app.mount('#app')

By doing this, you are importing all the components that are provided by Windi UI and in your final bundle all the components including the ones you didn't use will be bundled. Use this method of component registration if you are confident that you will use all the components.

Individual Components with Tree Shaking

Probably you might not want to globally register all the components but instead only import the components that you need. You can achieve this by doing the following:

Import the createWindiUI option as well as the components you need as shown below:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'
import windiTheme from 'windi-vue/dist/theme/windiTheme'

import { WKbd, createWindiUI } from 'windi-vue'

import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

const UI = createWindiUI({
  prefix: 'T',
  components: [WKbd],
})

app.use(UI, windiTheme)

app.mount('#app')

Now you can use the component as shown below:

<template>
  <div>
    <TKbd>K</TKbd>
  </div>
</template>

The prefix option is only available for individual component imports.

Auto Imports with Tree Shaking

Windi UI comes with an intelligent resolver that automatically imports only used components.

This is made possible by leveraging a tool known as unplugin-vue-components which lets you auto import components on demand thus omitting import statements and still get the benefits of tree shaking.

To achieve this you need to do the following:

Install the unplugin-vue-components package by running one of the following commands:

#pnpm
pnpm add -D unplugin-vue-components

#yarn
yarn add -D unplugin-vue-components

#npm
npm i -D unplugin-vue-components

Head over to your main.ts or main.js file and set registerComponents to false as shown below:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'
import windiTheme from 'windi-vue/dist/theme/windiTheme'

import { createWindiUI } from 'windi-vue'

import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

const UI = createWindiUI({
  registerComponents: false,
})

app.use(UI, windiTheme)

app.mount('#app')

Head over to your vite.config.ts or vite.config.js file and add the following:

// other imports
import { WindiUIComponentResolver } from 'windi-vue'
import Components from 'unplugin-vue-components/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    // other plugins
    Components({
      resolvers: [
        WindiUIComponentResolver()
      ]
    }),
  ],
})

Now you can simply use any component that you want and it will be auto imported on demand ✨

<template>
  <div>
    <WKbd>K</WKbd>
  </div>
</template>

Troubleshooting TypeScript Error

If you're encountering the TypeScript error: Cannot find module 'windi-vue/dist/theme/windiTheme' or its corresponding type declarations, you can follow these steps to resolve it:

Create a windi-vue.d.ts declaration file in your src directory and inside it paste the following code:

declare module 'windi-vue/dist/theme/windiTheme'

The error should now be resolved.

This issue is set to be fixed in the next release of Windi UI v0.0.1 Alpha

🥳 Well done, you can now go ahead and build your web application with ease.
