    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.

Using a different stack? Choose another framework.
