📦 Installation

npm install @switch-to-eu/layout-ui

Peer Dependencies

Ensure you have the required peer dependencies:

npm install react@^19.0.0 react-dom@^19.0.0 next@^15.2.3

🚀 Quick Start

1. Import Styles

Import the base styles in your project (usually in globals.css or layout.tsx):

/* Option 1: Import main styles (includes globals.css) */
@import "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui/styles";

/* Option 2: Import specific style files */
@import "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui/styles/globals.css";
@import "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui/styles/themes.css";

Or in your TypeScript/JavaScript files:

// In your root layout or App component
import "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui/styles/globals.css";

2. Use Components

import { Button, Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui";

function App() {
  return (
    <Card className="w-96">
      <CardHeader>
        <CardTitle>Welcome to Layout UI</CardTitle>
      </CardHeader>
      <CardContent>
        <Button variant="default" size="lg">
          Get Started
        </Button>
      </CardContent>
    </Card>
  );
}

3. Customize Theme (Optional)

Override CSS custom properties to match your brand:

/* In your globals.css */
:root {
  --primary: 262 83% 58%;        /* Purple */
  --secondary: 220 14% 96%;      /* Light gray */
  --accent: 142 76% 36%;         /* Green */
  --destructive: 0 72% 51%;      /* Red */
  --radius: 0.75rem;             /* Border radius */
}

🎨 Theme Customization

Method 1: CSS Custom Properties (Recommended)

Override theme variables in your CSS:

/* Your project's globals.css */
@import "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui/styles";

/* Light theme customization */
:root {
  /* Brand colors */
  --primary: 262 83% 58%;           /* Purple */
  --primary-foreground: 0 0% 100%;  /* White text */

  /* Secondary colors */
  --secondary: 220 14% 96%;         /* Light gray */
  --secondary-foreground: 222 84% 5%; /* Dark text */

  /* Accent colors */
  --accent: 142 76% 36%;            /* Green */
  --accent-foreground: 0 0% 100%;   /* White text */

  /* Status colors */
  --destructive: 0 72% 51%;         /* Red */
  --destructive-foreground: 0 0% 100%; /* White text */

  /* Layout */
  --radius: 0.75rem;                /* Border radius */
  --border: 220 13% 91%;            /* Border color */
}

/* Dark theme customization */
.dark {
  --primary: 262 83% 70%;           /* Lighter purple for dark mode */
  --secondary: 217 32% 17%;         /* Dark gray */
  --background: 222 84% 5%;         /* Dark background */
  --foreground: 210 40% 98%;        /* Light text */
}

Method 2: JavaScript Theme Utilities

Use the built-in theme utilities for dynamic theming:

import { applyTheme, setColorMode, getSystemColorMode } from "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui";

// Apply custom theme programmatically
applyTheme({
  primary: "262 83% 58%",
  accent: "142 76% 36%",
  destructive: "0 72% 51%"
});

// Handle dark mode
setColorMode("dark");
setColorMode("light");
setColorMode("system"); // Follow system preference

// Get current system preference
const systemMode = getSystemColorMode(); // "light" | "dark"

🔧 Form Integration

React Hook Form + Zod Example

import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod";
import { z } from "zod";
import { FormInput, FormTextarea, Button, Card } from "@switch-to-eu/layout-ui";

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(2, "Name must be at least 2 characters"),
  email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
  message: z.string().min(10, "Message must be at least 10 characters")
});

type FormData = z.infer<typeof schema>;

function ContactForm() {
  const { control, handleSubmit, formState: { isSubmitting } } = useForm<FormData>({
    resolver: zodResolver(schema)
  });

  const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
    // Handle form submission
    console.log(data);
  };

  return (
    <Card className="p-6">
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
        <FormInput
          control={control}
          name="name"
          label="Full Name"
          placeholder="Enter your name"
        />
        <FormInput
          control={control}
          name="email"
          label="Email Address"
          type="email"
          placeholder="Enter your email"
        />
        <FormTextarea
          control={control}
          name="message"
          label="Message"
          placeholder="Enter your message"
          rows={4}
        />
        <Button type="submit" loading={isSubmitting}>
          {isSubmitting ? "Sending..." : "Send Message"}
        </Button>
      </form>
    </Card>
  );
}

🤝 Contributing

This library is part of the privacy-tools ecosystem. Components are extracted and made generic from existing projects to maintain consistency.

Guidelines

1. Keep it generic - No project-specific code in the library
2. Theme-first - All styling should use CSS custom properties
3. Accessibility - Use Radix UI primitives where possible
4. TypeScript - Full type safety required
5. Documentation - Include Storybook stories for all components

Component Migration Process

1. Extract component from existing project
2. Remove project-specific styling/logic
3. Convert to use theme variables
4. Add proper TypeScript interfaces
5. Create Storybook story
6. Update exports and documentation
