KarbitUI

A karbit-peeps web component library built on Lit v3. Ships with React wrappers and works with Vue, Svelte, and vanilla HTML out of the box.

Components render in the Light DOM, so Tailwind CSS classes apply directly without Shadow DOM barriers.

This project is under active development.

Installation

npm install @wearesyntesa/karbit-ui

Tailwind CSS Setup

KarbitUI outputs Tailwind utility classes. Your project must have Tailwind CSS configured.

Add the KarbitUI preset to your tailwind.config.ts:

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'
import karbitPreset from '@wearesyntesa/karbit-ui/tailwind.config'

const config: Config = {
  presets: [karbitPreset],
  content: ['./src/**/*.{html,js,ts,jsx,tsx}', './node_modules/@wearesyntesa/karbit-ui/dist/**/*.js'],
}

export default config

The preset registers brutal box shadows, kb-* color tokens, IBM Plex Mono as the default mono font, and 0px border radius defaults.

Usage

HTML

<script type="module">
  import '@wearesyntesa/karbit-ui'
</script>

<kb-button variant="solid" size="lg">EXECUTE</kb-button>
<kb-input placeholder="Enter value" variant="outline"></kb-input>

React

import { Button, Input, Stack } from '@wearesyntesa/karbit-ui/react'

function App() {
  return (
    <Stack direction="vertical" gap="4">
      <Input placeholder="Username" variant="outline" onKbChange={(e) => console.log(e.detail.value)} />
      <Button variant="solid" size="md">
        SUBMIT
      </Button>
    </Stack>
  )
}

Style Props

All components inherit style props from the base element. These map directly to Tailwind utility classes.

<kb-box p="4" m="2" bg="blue-500" color="white" w="full" shadow="brutal"> Content </kb-box>

p="4" produces p-4, bg="red-500" produces bg-red-500, and so on. Props cover spacing, color, sizing, border, layout, flex, grid, and typography.
