📦 Installation

NPM

npm install @colorffy/css

PNPM

pnpm add @colorffy/css

Yarn

yarn add @colorffy/css

🚀 Usage

Import Compiled CSS

The easiest way to use Colorffy CSS is to import the compiled CSS file:

// In your main JavaScript file
import '@colorffy/css'

/* In your CSS file */
@import '@colorffy/css';

Use Minified Version

For production builds, use the minified version:

import '@colorffy/css/css/min'

Import SCSS Source

Import the full SCSS framework:

// Import the complete framework
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/main';

Customize the Theme

Theme colors and fonts are CSS custom properties. Override them in your own stylesheet, with the compiled CSS or the SCSS source:

:root {
  /* each theme color has a light-mode (-500) and dark-mode (-50) tone */
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-500: oklch(45% 0.2 275);
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-50: oklch(90% 0.06 275);
  --cffy-color-brand-secondary-500: oklch(62% 0.2 350);
  --cffy-color-brand-secondary-50: oklch(92% 0.05 350);

  --cffy-font-primary: 'Inter', sans-serif;
  --cffy-font-secondary: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}

Compile-time component defaults are SCSS variables, set with @forward before importing:

@forward '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/variables' with (
  $button-border-radius: 4px,
  $card-border-radius: 8px,
  $form-border-radius: 4px,
  $dialog-border-radius: 12px,
);

@use '@colorffy/css/scss/main';

Import Specific SCSS Modules

Import only the modules you need:

// Import specific components
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/components/button';
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/components/card';

// Import specific utilities
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/utilities/colors';
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/utilities/spacing';

// Import abstracts (variables, mixins, functions)
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/variables' as vars;
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/mixins' as mix;

// Use them in your styles
.custom-button {
  border-radius: vars.$button-border-radius;
  @include mix.text-gradient(45deg, var(--cffy-primary-base), var(--cffy-accent-base));
}

Framework Integration

Vue 3

Option 1: Import Compiled CSS

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import '@colorffy/css'

createApp(App).mount('#app')

Option 2: Customize with SCSS

// src/assets/variables.scss
// Compile-time component defaults
@forward '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/variables' with (
  $button-border-radius: 4px,
  $card-border-radius: 8px,
);

// Import the full framework
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/main';

// src/assets/main.scss
@use 'variables' as *;

// Theme colors and fonts are CSS tokens (-500 = light mode, -50 = dark mode)
:root {
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-500: oklch(45% 0.2 275);
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-50: oklch(90% 0.06 275);
  --cffy-font-primary: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import './assets/main.scss'

createApp(App).mount('#app')

Nuxt 3

Option 1: Import Compiled CSS

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  css: ['@colorffy/css']

      preprocessorOptions: {
        scss: {
          additionalData: '@use "~/assets/scss/variables.scss" as *;'
        }
      }
    }
  }

🛠️ Customization

Theme Colors and Fonts (CSS tokens)

Each brand color has a light-mode (-500) and dark-mode (-50) token, for primary, secondary, accent, success, warning, danger, info and muted. Every tonal step and component derives from them:

:root {
  /* each theme color has a light-mode (-500) and dark-mode (-50) tone */
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-500: oklch(45% 0.2 275);
  --cffy-color-brand-primary-50: oklch(90% 0.06 275);
  --cffy-color-brand-secondary-500: oklch(62% 0.2 350);
  --cffy-color-brand-secondary-50: oklch(92% 0.05 350);

  --cffy-font-primary: 'Inter', sans-serif;
  --cffy-font-secondary: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}

Compile-time Variables with @forward

@forward '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/variables' with (
  $button-border-radius: 4px,
  $card-border-radius: 8px,
  $form-border-radius: 4px,
  $dialog-border-radius: 12px,
);

@use '@colorffy/css/scss/main';

Use Mixins & Functions

@use '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/mixins' as mix;
@use '@colorffy/css/scss/abstracts/functions' as fn;

.your-element {
  @include mix.text-gradient(45deg, #ff0080, #ff8c00);

  // Hover and pressed backgrounds from the shared state layer
  background-color: fn.state-layer(var(--cffy-state-hover-opacity), var(--cffy-surface-container));
}

Runtime Customization with CSS Variables

Override CSS custom properties at runtime:

:root {
  /* Override theme colors */
  --cffy-primary-base: #your-color;
  --cffy-secondary-base: #your-color;

  /* Override component variables */
  --_btn-radius: 50px;
  --_card-bg-color: #your-bg;
}
