Quick Start: 3-Minute Guide
📦 Installation
Use one of the commands below to add Overflow UI to your project:
npm install @synergycodes/overflow-ui
pnpm add @synergycodes/overflow-ui
yarn add @synergycodes/overflow-ui
🎨 Import styles
Add to your style sheet or component:
@import '@synergycodes/overflow-ui/tokens.css';
import '@synergycodes/overflow-ui/tokens.css';
🌗 Set the theme
To make the styles use proper variables, include data-theme
(light
or dark
) attribute in <html>
:
<html data-theme="light">
🎛️ Use components
import { Input } from '@synergycodes/overflow-ui';
// …
<Input value={value} onChange={onChange} />;
Customization
Each Overflow UI component uses CSS variables that are derived from primitive values.
You can override them:
:root {
--ax-ui-bg-primary-default: #40ba12;
}
or a derived value used by the selected component:
:root {
--ax-public-date-picker-dropdown-background: #40ba12;
}
Overflow UI css layers
Overflow UI uses CSS layers to separate its styles from yours. By default, CSS styles outside of any layer take precedence over what Overflow UI defines, so your styles will always win the specificity war. You can customize Overflow UI components with simple input {}
.
@layer ui.component {
.separator {
/* … */
}
}
Default Overflow UI order:
@layer ui.base, ui.component;
If you want to use layers in your code, just add them at the end.
