Keen UI

A lightweight collection of essential UI components written with Vue and inspired by Material Design.

Keen UI is designed to be a lightweight Vue.js UI library with a simple API. Though the design is inspired by Google's Material Design, Keen UI is not meant to be a full implementation of the spec.

Keen UI is not a CSS framework, and as such you won't find a grid system or styles for typography in it. Instead, the focus is on creating reusable components that have interactivity.

Documentation and demo

Requirements

Vue.js (^v2.1.4) - use keen-ui@0.8.9 for Vue 1.x support.

Optional

Roboto font (Normal 400, Medium 500)
Material Icons font

Browser support

IE 10+ (due to Flexbox support).

Installation

NPM (recommended)

npm install keen-ui --save

Bower

bower install keen-ui --save

Usage

Make sure to include either the dist/keen-ui.css or dist/keen-ui.min.css file if you are not using individual components from lib/ as the styles have been extracted into a single CSS file.

CSS Reset

Before using Keen UI, ensure that the following CSS resets are applied to your site.

*,
*::before,
*::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

html {
    font-size: 100%;
}

You can add it to your stylesheet manually (before other styles), or, if you are using a CSS framework, check to see if the framework already includes a reset (most CSS frameworks do). The root font size can be customized to globally resize the components.

ES6

The following examples can also be used with CommonJS by replacing ES6-specific syntax with CommonJS equivalents.

Use as a plugin (registers all components with Vue globally):

import Vue from 'vue';
import KeenUI from 'keen-ui';

Vue.use(KeenUI);

new Vue({
    components: {
        // all Keen UI components already registered
    }
});

Use individual components:

import Vue from 'vue';
import { UiAlert, UiButton } from 'keen-ui';

new Vue({
    components: {
        UiAlert,
        UiButton
    }
});

Globals (script tag)

First, add a stylesheet link to the Keen UI CSS file in dist/keen-ui.min.css. Then, add a script tag pointing to dist/keen-ui.min.js after adding Vue.

If Keen UI detects Vue globally, all the components will be registered automatically. The components will also be made available on the global window.KeenUI object.

Example:

<html>
<head>
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/keen-ui.min.css">
    ...
</head>
<body>
    <div id="app">
        <ui-button>Hello world!</ui-button>
    </div>

    <script src="path/to/vue.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/keen-ui.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        new Vue({
            el: '#app',
            components: {
                // all Keen UI components already registered
            }
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Using standalone individual components

Each component has been compiled as a self-contained file which you can use without importing the rest of the library. The standalone files are located in the lib/ folder and they contain their own CSS which will be added as <style> tags in <head>.

NOTE: Files in the lib/ folder contain all their own dependencies and a lot them contain overlapping dependencies. As such, using multiple files from lib/ could significantly increase the size of your bundle due to duplicate code, and is not recommended unless you are using only a handful of components. This may be fixed by minification, but I haven't tested.
