keen-ui's Introduction

Keen UI

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

Keen UI is designed to be a lightweight but complete Vue.js UI framework 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.

Requirements

Optional

Browser Support

IE 9+ (currently only tested in Chrome)

Installation

NPM

npm install keen-ui --save

Bower

bower install keen-ui --save

Usage

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

Globals (script tag)

The keen-ui.js file in the dist folder contains all the components exported on a global window.Keen object.

First, include the JS and CSS files in your page:

<html>
<head>
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/keen-ui.css">
    ...
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Example usage of UiButton -->
    <ui-button>Say Hello</ui-button>

    <script src="path/to/vue.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/keen-ui.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Then, register the components globally for use in your templates:

// app.js

Vue.use(Keen);

new Vue({
    el: 'body',
    components: {
        // all components already registered
    }
});

CommonJS

Use as a plugin (registers all components globally):

var Vue = require('vue');
var Keen = require('keen-ui');

Vue.use(Keen);

new Vue({
    el: 'body',
    components: {
        // all components already registered
    }
});

Use individual components:

var Vue = require('vue');
var UiButton = require('keen-ui').UiButton;

new Vue({
    el: 'body',
    components: {
        'ui-button': UiButton
    }
});

ES6

Use as a plugin (registers all components globally):

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

Vue.use(Keen);

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

Use individual components:

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

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

Using standalone individual components

Each component has been built as a self-contained file which you can use without importing the rest of the framework. The standalone files are located in the lib/ folder and they contain their own CSS inlined.

NOTE: Files in the lib/ contain all their own dependencies and a lot them contain the same dependencies. For example, UiAlert in lib/ also includes a copy of UiIconButton, which includes UiMenu, UiPopover, UiIcon and UiTooltip, etc. As such, using multiple files from lib/ could significantly increase the size of your bundle due to duplicate code, and is only recommended if you are using just a handful of components.

Globals (script tag)

Include the component JS file in your page and it will be available as the global Keen.[ComponentName].

<html>
<head>
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
    ...
</head>
<body>
    <ui-button>Hello world!</ui-button>

    <script src="path/to/vue.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/UiButton.js"></script>
    <script>
        new Vue({
            el: 'body',
            components: {
                'ui-button': Keen.UiButton
            }
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

CommonJS

var Vue = require('vue');
var UiButton = require('keen-ui/lib/UiButton');

new Vue({
    el: 'body',
    components: {
        'ui-button': UiButton
    }
});

ES6

import Vue from 'vue';
import UiButton from 'keen-ui/lib/UiButton';

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