# LycanUi

The name of this is tentative. Not really too sure what to call it yet.

## What is this?

Rails is in _dire_ need of UI frameworks. The JS ecosystem has all these _awesome_ UI frameworks that make building beautiful
UIs a breeze. But, Rails is missing that, and it's a pain. LycanUi serves to fill that gap.

LycanUi is a collection of UI components that can be easily added to your Rails app, either by copy and pasting the code, or by using a generator.

## Copy and Paste? What?

Yep, copy and paste. Inspired by [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs), LycanUi just gives you the code.

The worst part about interacting with any UI framework is when you need to customize their designs or funcitonality.
If you need to do something that is outside what the component was originally designed for, you normally.. just can't.
Not to mention overriding their provided CSS is normally hellish.

LycanUi provides sensible defaults for styles and functionality, that way you get something that works and follows accessibility guidelines.

Start with the default functionality and styling, and then when you need to expand or change anything, you can.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem "lycan_ui", group: :development
```

And then execute:

```bash
$ bundle
```

Now to make sure your app is set up for use, run

```bash
$ rails generate lycan_ui:setup
```

## Usage

Say you want to install the `Button` component. You can do so by running the following command:

```bash
$ rails generate lycan_ui:add button
```

You'll now see some things in `components/button.rb`, you can now use that component in _any_ view or helper like so

```erb
<%= render Button.new %>
```
