Starting a new project

CxJS is available as an NPM package - cx, which includes compiled code, source code and TypeScript definitions.

Besides the cx package, you'll need other packages such as cx-react (or cx-preact) and babel-preset-cx-env.

You'll also need to configure Babel and webpack.

The quickest way to setup everything up is to use CLI:

npm install cx-cli --global
cx create my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Or if you prefer Yarn:

yarn create cx-app my-app
cd my-app
yarn start

Alternatively, you can download the files from one of the project templates:

• https://github.com/codaxy/cxjs-tailwindcss-template
• https://github.com/codaxy/cx-starter-kit
• https://codesandbox.io/s/github/codaxy/cxjs-codesandbox-template

Themes

Once you create a new project, you may want to try our ready-to-use visual themes:

• cx-theme-material (Demo)
• cx-theme-frost (Demo)
• cx-theme-dark (Demo)

Install the theme using npm or yarn.

npm install cx-theme-frost

Open my-app/app/index.scss and replace

@import "~cx/src/variables";
@import "~cx/src/index";

with

@import "~theme-package-name/src/variables";
@import "~theme-package-name/src/index";

Please read theme NPM package documentation to learn how to enable theme specific features.
