  1. 01

    Scaffold with the CLI

    Creates the framework app and wires Default File UI (package, CSS, and framework config).

    npx --yes -p github:itsvigneshv/default-file-ui#main df-ui init -t react --name my-react-app
  2. 02

    Start the app

    cd my-react-app
npm run dev
  3. 03

    Use a component

    import { Button } from "@default-file/ui/components/df-button"

export function Example() {
  return <Button>Click me</Button>
}

Existing project

Prefer the CLI init in your app folder, or follow the manual steps.

  1. 01

    Start from any React app

    Create React App, Parcel, Rsbuild, or a custom Webpack setup all work as long as you can import CSS and TSX from `node_modules`.

  2. 02

    Run init in the project

    npx --yes -p github:itsvigneshv/default-file-ui#main df-ui init --framework react
  3. 03

    Or install manually

    npm install github:itsvigneshv/default-file-ui#main react react-dom lucide-react
  4. 04

    Import the stylesheet

    Import once near your app entry (CSS file or `import "@default-file/ui/css/df-index.css"` in JS).

    @import "@default-file/ui/css/df-index.css";
  5. 05

    Use a component

    import { Button } from "@default-file/ui/components/df-button"

export function Example() {
  return <Button>Click me</Button>
}

Notes

  • Prefer the package for most apps. For copy-source installs, add foundation first (`itsvigneshv/default-file-ui/foundation`), then individual items from each component page.
  • If your bundler does not transpile packages by default, allow `@default-file/ui` (it ships TypeScript source).

Using a different stack? Choose another framework.
