Documentation & Demos

Quick Start

Requirements

1. For Balm CLI

1.0 Create a project

balm init vue my-project
cd my-project

1.1 Installing balm-ui

yarn add balm-ui
# OR
npm install --save balm-ui

1.2 Configuration

update balm.config.js

  • get Material Icons without downloading (or, download and extract to my-project/app/fonts)

    const api = (mix) => {
      if (mix.env.isDev) {
        mix.copy('node_modules/balm-ui/fonts/*', 'app/fonts');
      }
    };
  • edit my-project/config/balmrc.js for using Dart Sass

    module.exports = {
      styles: {
        extname: 'scss'
      }
      // Other Options...
    };

1.3 Usage

Default Usage
  • edit my-project/app/styles/global/_vendors.scss

    /* import BalmUI styles */
    @use 'balm-ui/dist/balm-ui';

    Recommend to use Sass in /path/to/project-name/styles/_vendors.scss, and you can use more advanced style usage of the BalmUI.

  • edit my-project/app/scripts/main.js

    import { createApp } from 'vue';
    import App from '@/views/layouts/app';
    import BalmUI from 'balm-ui'; // Official Google Material Components
    import BalmUIPlus from 'balm-ui/dist/balm-ui-plus'; // BalmJS Team Material Components
    
    const app = createApp(App);
    
    app.use(BalmUI); // Mandatory
    app.use(BalmUIPlus); // Optional
    
    app.mount('#app');
Standalone Usage
  • edit my-project/app/styles/global/_vendors.scss

    @use 'balm-ui/components/core';
    @use 'balm-ui/components/button/button';
    @use 'balm-ui/components/icon/icon';
    @use 'balm-ui/components/dialog/dialog';
    @use 'balm-ui/plugins/alert/alert';
  • edit my-project/app/scripts/main.js

    import { createApp } from 'vue';
    import App from '@/views/layouts/app';
    import UiButton from 'balm-ui/components/button';
    import $alert from 'balm-ui/plugins/alert';
    
    const app = createApp(App);
    
    app.use(UiButton);
    app.use($alert);
    
    app.mount('#app');

1.4 Development and testing

npm run dev
  • edit a vue component: my-project/app/scripts/views/components/hello.vue

    <template>
      <div class="hello">
        ...
