Documentation & Demos

Quick Start

Requirements

1. For Balm CLI (Recommended)

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/_vendor.scss

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

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