1. Add salad_ui to your mix.exs

def deps do
  [
    {:salad_ui, "~> 1.0.0-beta.3"},
  ]
end

2. Choose your installation method:

For a quick start with minimal configuration:

mix salad.setup

This sets up SaladUI to use components directly from the library. You can start using components immediately:

defmodule MyAppWeb.PageLive do
  use MyAppWeb, :live_view
  import SaladUI.Button
  import SaladUI.Dialog

  def render(_) do
    ~H"""
    <.button>Click me</.button>
    <.dialog id="my-dialog">
      <.dialog_content>
        <p>Hello world!</p>
      </.dialog_content>
    </.dialog>
    """
  end
end

For full customization with local component files:

# Default installation
mix salad.install

# With custom prefix and color scheme
mix salad.install --prefix MyUI --color-scheme slate

This copies all component files to your project under lib/my_app_web/components/ui/ where you can customize them:

defmodule MyAppWeb.PageLive do
  use MyAppWeb, :live_view
  import MyAppWeb.Components.UI.Button
  import MyAppWeb.Components.UI.Dialog

  def render(_) do
    ~H"""
    <.button>Click me</.button>
    <.dialog id="my-dialog">
      <.dialog_content>
        <p>Hello world!</p>
      </.dialog_content>
    </.dialog>
    """
  end
end

All v1 component are not covered by UnitTest. Currently I'm working on an important project so I don't have much time for this. If you're interested in this project, please help to add Unit Test if possible. 🙏

This project could not be available without these awesome works:
