🚀 Quick Start

Global Registration

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import AresRPGUI from '@aresrpg/ui'
import '@aresrpg/ui/style.css'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(AresRPGUI)

<template>
  <AresButton variant="gradient">Click me</AresButton>
  <AresCard title="Hello World" />
</template>

Import on Demand (Tree Shaking)

</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <ThemeSwitcher />
    <Button variant="gradient">Click me</Button>
    <Card title="Hello World" />

[data-theme="dark"] {
  --color-accent-primary: #your-color;
  --glass-bg: rgba(30, 30, 30, 0.25);
  /* ... other variables */
}

Creating Custom Themes

Add a new theme by defining CSS variables:

[data-theme="custom"] {
  --color-bg-primary: #your-bg;
  --color-text-primary: #your-text;
  --color-accent-primary: #your-accent;
  --gradient-primary: linear-gradient(135deg, #start, #end);
  /* ... define all required variables */
}

Then add your theme to the themes array in useTheme().
