Quick Start

Vanilla JavaScript / HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script type="module">
      import '@kitiumai/ui';
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <kt-button variant="primary" size="medium"> Click me </kt-button>

    <kt-input label="Email" type="email" placeholder="Enter your email" required></kt-input>

    <kt-card hoverable elevated>
      <div slot="header">Card Title</div>
      <p>This is the card content</p>
      <div slot="footer">Card Footer</div>
    </kt-card>
  </body>
</html>

React (Universal Components)

Use the same components that work on Web AND React Native:

import { KtButton, KtInput, KtCard } from '@kitiumai/ui';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* These components automatically adapt to your platform! */}
      <KtButton variant="primary" onPress={() => console.log('Works on Web & React Native!')}>
        Universal Button
      </KtButton>

      <KtInput
        label="Username"
        placeholder="Enter username"
        onChangeText={(text) => console.log(text)}
      />

      <KtCard header="Card Title" footer="Card Footer" elevated>
        Card content
      </KtCard>
    </div>
  );
}

React Native: The same code above works in React Native without any changes! The components automatically detect the platform and use native React Native components.

Angular

// app.module.ts
import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import '@kitiumai/ui';

@NgModule({
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
  // ... other config
})
export class AppModule {}

<!-- app.component.html -->
<kt-button variant="primary" (kt-click)="handleClick($event)"> Click me </kt-button>

<kt-input label="Email" type="email" (kt-input)="handleInput($event)"></kt-input>

Vue 3

<template>
  <div>
    <kt-button variant="primary" @kt-click="handleClick"> Click me </kt-button>

    <kt-input label="Username" v-model="username" @kt-input="handleInput" />
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import '@kitiumai/ui';

const username = ref('');

const handleClick = (e) => {
  console.log('Clicked', e.detail);
};

const handleInput = (e) => {
  username.value = e.detail.value;
};
</script>

Configuration (NEW!)

Kitium UI features a unified configuration system where one config file controls everything across all platforms (Web, React Native, Flutter).

Quick Start - Minimal Config

Create kitium.config.js in your project root:

// Absolute minimum - AI does the rest!
export default {
  theme: {
    colors: {
      primary: '#1976D2',
    },
  },
};

That's it! From this single color, Kitium automatically generates:

✅ Complete color palette (50-900 shades for all colors)
✅ Semantic colors (secondary, success, error, warning, info)
✅ Dark mode theme
✅ Typography scale
✅ Spacing system
✅ Border radius values
✅ Platform-specific conversions (CSS variables, React Native StyleSheet, Flutter theme)

How to Use Config

// Load config in your app entry point
import { loadConfig } from '@kitiumai/ui/config';
import config from './kitium.config.js';

loadConfig(config);

// Now all components automatically use your config!
import { Button } from '@kitiumai/ui';

// Uses config colors, spacing, typography automatically
<Button variant="primary">Click me</Button>;

Full Configuration Example

export default {
  // Theme (applies to ALL platforms)
  theme: {
    colors: {
      primary: '#1976D2',
      generateShades: true, // AI generates 50-900 shades
    },

    typography: {
      fontFamily: 'Inter', // Auto-mapped to platform formats
      baseSize: 16,
      scale: 'major-third', // AI calculates sizes
    },

    spacing: {
      unit: 8,
      scale: [0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64],
    },

    borderRadius: {
      sm: 4,
      md: 8,
      lg: 16,
    },

    // Shadows (auto-converted per platform)
    shadows: {
      md: '0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
      // → Web: CSS box-shadow
      // → React Native: shadowColor, shadowOffset, elevation
      // → Flutter: BoxShadow
    },

    darkMode: {
      enabled: true,
      autoGenerate: true, // AI generates perfect dark theme
    },
  },

  // Component defaults
  components: {
    Button: {
      defaultVariant: 'primary',
      defaultSize: 'medium',

      // Platform-specific overrides
      platforms: {
        mobile: {
          defaultSize: 'large', // Larger on mobile
        },
      },
    },
  },

  // Accessibility
  accessibility: {
    level: 'AA', // WCAG compliance
    autoEnhance: true, // AI adds missing features
  },

  // AI Features
  ai: {
    enabled: true,
    features: {
      autoComplete: true,
      optimization: true,
      scoring: true,
    },
  },
};

Platform-Specific Output

The config automatically converts to each platform:

Web (CSS Variables):

:root {
  --kt-color-primary: #1976d2;
  --kt-color-primary-50: #e3f2fd;
  /* ... all generated shades */
  --kt-spacing-unit: 8px;
}

React Native (StyleSheet):

const theme = {
  colors: { primary: '#1976D2', primary50: '#E3F2FD' },
  shadows: {
    md: {
      shadowColor: '#000',
      shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 4 },
      shadowOpacity: 0.1,
      shadowRadius: 6,
      elevation: 4,
    },
  },
};

Flutter (Dart Theme):

class KitiumTheme {
  static const Color primary = Color(0xFF1976D2);
  static const Color primary50 = Color(0xFFE3F2FD);
  static const BoxShadow shadowMd = BoxShadow(/* ... */);
}

Theming

Kitium UI comes with beautiful default colors based on Kitium's brand identity. You can customize the theme in multiple ways:

Default Kitium Brand Colors

- Dark Blue (#1E3A8A) - Primary color
- Yellow (#F59E0B) - Warning/accent color
- Gray (#64748B) - Secondary color
- Green (#10B981) - Success color

Method 1: Using JavaScript/TypeScript (Recommended)

The easiest way to customize the theme:

import { setTheme } from '@kitiumai/ui';

// Customize specific colors
setTheme({
  colors: {
    primary: '#FF0000',
    secondary: '#00FF00',
    success: '#0000FF',
  },
});

// Or customize everything
setTheme({
  colors: {
    primary: '#your-color',
    secondary: '#your-color',
    success: '#your-color',
    warning: '#your-color',
    error: '#your-color',
    info: '#your-color',
    background: '#ffffff',
    foreground: '#000000',
    border: '#e5e5e5',
  },
  spacing: {
    xs: '0.25rem',
    sm: '0.5rem',
    md: '1rem',
    lg: '1.5rem',
    xl: '2rem',
  },
  typography: {
    fontFamily: 'Your Font Family',
    fontSize: {
      sm: '0.875rem',
      md: '1rem',
      lg: '1.25rem',
    },
  },
  borderRadius: {
    sm: '0.25rem',
    md: '0.375rem',
    lg: '0.5rem',
  },
});

// Reset to Kitium defaults
import { resetTheme } from '@kitiumai/ui';
resetTheme();

// Get current theme
import { getCurrentTheme } from '@kitiumai/ui';
const currentTheme = getCurrentTheme();

Method 2: Using CSS Custom Properties

Customize directly in your CSS:

:root {
  /* Kitium Brand Colors (defaults) */
  --kt-color-primary: #1e3a8a; /* Dark Blue */
  --kt-color-secondary: #64748b; /* Gray */
  --kt-color-success: #10b981; /* Green */
  --kt-color-warning: #f59e0b; /* Yellow */
  --kt-color-error: #ef4444; /* Red */
  --kt-color-info: #1e3a8a;

  /* Layout */
  --kt-color-background: #ffffff;
  --kt-color-foreground: #0f172a;
  --kt-color-border: #e2e8f0;

  /* Spacing */
  --kt-spacing-xs: 0.25rem;
  --kt-spacing-sm: 0.5rem;
  --kt-spacing-md: 1rem;
  --kt-spacing-lg: 1.5rem;
  --kt-spacing-xl: 2rem;

  /* Typography */
  --kt-font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif;
  --kt-font-size-sm: 0.875rem;
  --kt-font-size-md: 1rem;
  --kt-font-size-lg: 1.25rem;

  /* Border Radius */
  --kt-border-radius-sm: 0.25rem;
  --kt-border-radius-md: 0.375rem;
  --kt-border-radius-lg: 0.5rem;
}

Method 3: Using Kitium Brand Colors

Access brand colors directly in your code:

import { KITIUM_BRAND_COLORS } from '@kitiumai/ui';

console.log(KITIUM_BRAND_COLORS.darkBlue); // #1E3A8A
console.log(KITIUM_BRAND_COLORS.yellow); // #F59E0B
console.log(KITIUM_BRAND_COLORS.gray); // #64748B
console.log(KITIUM_BRAND_COLORS.green); // #10B981

Theme Examples

Light Mode (Default)

setTheme({
  colors: {
    background: '#FFFFFF',
    foreground: '#0F172A',
    border: '#E2E8F0',
  },
});

Dark Mode

setTheme({
  colors: {
    primary: '#3B82F6',
    background: '#0F172A',
    foreground: '#F1F5F9',
    border: '#334155',
  },
});

Custom Brand

setTheme({
  colors: {
    primary: '#your-brand-primary',
    secondary: '#your-brand-secondary',
    success: '#your-brand-success',
    // ... other colors
  },
});

Validation

The library includes built-in validators for forms:

import { required, email, minLength, maxLength, pattern, composeValidators } from '@kitiumai/ui';

// Use individual validators
const result = email('[email protected]');
console.log(result.valid); // true

// Compose multiple validators
const passwordValidator = composeValidators(
  required,
  minLength(8),
  maxLength(20),
  pattern(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/, 'Only alphanumeric characters')
);

const validation = passwordValidator('myPassword123');
console.log(validation.valid); // true or false
console.log(validation.message); // Error message if invalid

TypeScript Support

Full TypeScript support with type definitions included:

import type { ComponentSize, ComponentVariant, ValidationResult } from '@kitiumai/ui';

const size: ComponentSize = 'medium';
const variant: ComponentVariant = 'primary';

Universal Platform Support - NEW!

Kitium UI now features truly universal components that automatically detect your platform (Web, React Native, or Flutter) and render the appropriate native implementation. No platform-specific imports needed!

Universal Components (Recommended)

Just import and use - the components automatically adapt to your platform:

import { KtButton, KtInput, KtCard } from '@kitiumai/ui';

// Same code works on Web, React Native, AND Flutter!
function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      {' '}
      {/* or <View> in React Native */}
      <KtButton variant="primary" onPress={() => console.log('Works everywhere!')}>
        Universal Button
      </KtButton>
      <KtInput label="Email" type="email" onChangeText={(text) => console.log(text)} />
      <KtCard header="Title" footer="Footer">
        Card content works on all platforms!
      </KtCard>
    </div>
  );
}

How it works:

🔍 Automatic Detection: Components detect whether they're running on Web, React Native, or Flutter
🎯 Native Rendering: Each platform gets its optimal native implementation:
- Web: Lit-based Web Components with Shadow DOM
- React Native: Native TouchableOpacity, TextInput, View components
- Flutter: Native Flutter widgets via bridge
📦 Tree-Shaking: Unused platform code is automatically removed from your bundle
🎨 Consistent API: Same props and events across all platforms

Features:

✨ Zero configuration - just import and use
🚀 Native performance on all platforms
🎨 Same Kitium brand colors everywhere
📘 Full TypeScript support with IntelliSense
🔄 Consistent behavior across platforms
📱 Works on Web, iOS, and Android

Manual Platform Override (Advanced)

If you need to force a specific platform implementation:

<KtButton
  platformType="react-native" // Force React Native implementation
  variant="primary"
>
  Button
</KtButton>

Flutter

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  kitium_ui:
    path: node_modules/@kitiumai/ui/bridges/flutter

Use in your Flutter app:

import 'package:kitium_ui/kitiumai_flutter.dart';

KtButton(
  variant: ComponentVariant.primary,
  onPressed: () => print('Pressed!'),
  child: Text('Click Me'),
)

KtInput(
  label: 'Email',
  type: InputType.email,
  onChanged: (value) => print(value),
)

KtCard(
  header: Text('Title'),
  footer: Text('Footer'),
  child: Text('Card content'),
)

Features:

Native Flutter widgets
Consistent API across platforms
Kitium brand colors
Material Design integration
iOS and Android support

♿ Accessibility Best Practices

All Kitium UI components follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Here's how to ensure accessibility in your implementations:

// ARIA Labels
aria-label="Close button"
ariaLabelledBy="label-id"
ariaDescribedBy="description-id"

// Keyboard Navigation
@keyup.enter="handleSubmit"
@keyup.space="handleActivate"

// Focus Management
tabindex="0"
:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid var(--ring); }

// Semantic HTML
<button>  {/* not <div> */}
<input>   {/* not custom element */}

// Color Contrast (minimum requirements)
// - 4.5:1 for normal text
// - 3:1 for large text
// - 3:1 for UI components

🚀 Performance Tips

Bundle Size
- Use framework-specific imports for optimal tree-shaking
- Only 15KB gzipped total
- Remove unused components automatically
Render Performance
- Components use React.memo() in React
- Efficient memoization for expensive renders
- Lazy loading support for React Native
Memory Usage
- Proper event listener cleanup
- No memory leaks from circular references
- Optimal resource management

Useful Patterns

React Hooks Integration:

import { Button } from '@kitium/ui/react';
import { useCallback } from 'react';

function MyComponent() {
  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    console.log('Button clicked!');
  }, []);

  return <Button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</Button>;
}

Angular Services:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { KtButtonModule } from '@kitium/ui/angular';

@Injectable()
export class MyService {
  onButtonClick() {
    console.log('Button clicked!');
  }
}

Vue Composition API:

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { Button } from '@kitium/ui/vue';

const count = ref(0);
const handleClick = () => count.value++;
</script>

<template>
  <Button @kt-click="handleClick">Clicks: {{ count }}</Button>
</template>

Svelte Reactivity:

<script>
  import { Button } from '@kitium/ui/svelte';
  let count = 0;

  const handleClick = () => count++;
</script>

<Button on:kt-click={handleClick}>Clicks: {count}</Button>
