Straight-forward Svelte UI for the Web


Latest Release NPM Package MIT License Github Stars Chat


WARNING: This library is a work-in-progress, use at your own discretion!

Features

  • Svelte-first: All Components are API designed to work well with Svelte as a first-class citizen.
  • Typescript Native: Kahi UI tries to be fully typed by using TypeScript as its base language, so you get a complete IDE experience.
  • Progressive Enhancements: Where possible, most logic is codified via CSS / HTML directly. With Javascript-enabled UX enhancements enabled for compatible clients.
  • Composable: While 30+ prebuilt Components are available, Kahi UI also provides primitives to design your Web Application's UI without touching CSS.
  • Dark Mode: Components in Kahi UI change colors when a compatible Browser views w/ Dark Mode.
  • Framework Independent: Even though Svelte-first, there is no hard toolchain dependencies required. You can just take the built CSS files and use with React or in a traditional SSR environment.

Installation

Open your terminal and install via npm:

npm install @kahi-ui/framework

Usage

Step 1 — First if your toolchain supports it, import the required CSS files from @kahi-ui/framework/dist:

// For non-minified:
import "@kahi-ui/framework/dist/kahi-ui.framework.css";
import "@kahi-ui/framework/dist/kahi-ui.theme.default.css";

// For minified:
import "@kahi-ui/framework/dist/kahi-ui.framework.min.css";
import "@kahi-ui/framework/dist/kahi-ui.theme.default.min.css";

Otherwise download the required CSS files from Releases and use <link rel="stylesheet">:

<html>
    <head>
        <!-- For non-minified: -->
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/kahi-ui.framework.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/kahi-ui.theme.default.css" />

        <!-- For minified: -->

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/kahi-ui.framework.min.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/kahi-ui.theme.default.min.css" />
    </head>
</html>

Step 2 — Next, import Components by their variable name from @kahi-ui/framework:

<script>
    import {Button, Text} from "@kahi-ui/framework";

    let clicks = 0;

    function on_click(event) {
        clicks++;
    }
</script>

<Text>{clicks}</Text>
<Button on:click={on_click}>Add +1</Button>

Some Components are multi-part patterns, so you'll need to import their namespaces:

<script>
    import {Button, Card, Text} from "@kahi-ui/framework";
</script>

<Card.Container>
    <Card.Figure>
        <img src="/path/to/card/header/image.png" />
    </Card.Figure>

    <Card.Header>
        Lorem Ipsum
    </Card.Header>

    <Card.Section>
        <Text>
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin et consectetur orci.
            Curabitur a egestas turpis, vitae convallis sapien. Sed pellentesque rutrum tellus, in
            iaculis dolor tincidunt non. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient
            montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
        </Text>
    </Card.Section>

    <Card.Footer>
        <Button palette="affirmative">Open Details</Button>
    </Card.Footer>
</Card.Container>
