# Keen UI

Keen UI is a [Vue.js](http://vuejs.org) UI library with a simple API, inspired by Google's [Material Design](https://material.io/guidelines).

_Keen UI is **not** a CSS framework. Therefore, it doesn't include styles for a grid system, typography, etc. Instead, the focus is on interactive components that require Javascript. You should be able to use Keen UI with any page layout, structure, or CSS framework._

## Documentation and demo

[http://josephuspaye.github.io/Keen-UI/](http://josephuspaye.github.io/Keen-UI/)

## Requirements

- [Vue.js](http://vuejs.org/) (v3)
- use [[email protected]](http://josephuspaye.github.io/Keen-UI/0.8.9/) for Vue 1.x support.
- use [[email protected]](http://josephuspaye.github.io/Keen-UI/1.4.0/) for Vue 2.x support.

Optional

- [Material Icons font](http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/#icon-font-for-the-web)

## Browser support

Keen UI supports [browsers with native ES2015 support](https://caniuse.com/es6) ([same as Vue 3](https://vuejs.org/about/faq.html#what-browsers-does-vue-support)).

## Installation

```bash
npm install keen-ui --save
```

## Usage

##### CSS Reset

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

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

html {
font-size: 100%;
}
```

You can add the reset to your stylesheet (before other styles). 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 set on `` [can be customized](Customization.md#component-sizing) to globally resize the components.

### ES6

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

```js
import { createApp } from "vue";
import * as KeenUI from "keen-ui";
import "keen-ui/keen-ui.css";

const app = createApp();
app.use(KeenUI);
```

Use individual components:

```js
import { createApp } from "vue";
import { UiAlert, UiButton } from "keen-ui";
import "keen-ui/keen-ui.css";

const app = createApp({
components: {
UiAlert,
UiButton,
},
});
```

### Global 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`.

The library is made available globally via `window.KeenUI` so that you can use it on your app instance.

Example:

```html


{{ message }}

const app = Vue.createApp({
data() {
return {
message: "Hello world!",
};
},
});
app.use(KeenUI);
app.mount("#app");

```

## Customization

You can customize many aspects of Keen UI, including theme colors, component sizes, default props, and more.

See [Customization](Customization.md).

## Using standalone components

Each component is built into a standalone file with all its dependencies included. You can use these individual standalone components without importing the rest of the library. The standalone components are located in the `lib/` folder.

> **Note**
> Standalone component files each contain their own dependencies, and many contain overlapping dependencies. As a result, using multiple standalone files may increase the size of your bundle due to duplicate code.

```js
import { createApp } from "vue";
import "keen-ui/src/bootstrap"; // Required when using standalone components, should be imported only once in your project
import UiButton from "keen-ui/lib/UiButton";
import "keen-ui/css/UiButton.css";

const app = createApp({
components: {
UiButton,
},
});
```
