- The component is compatible with both Nuxt and Vue.
- You follow the coding and documentation guidelines outlined below.
- You include unit tests for your component.
Understanding the project structure is crucial for effective contribution:
- Components Directory:
- Main components should be placed in
components/content/inspira/ui/<component-folder-name>/
. - Example components should be placed in
components/content/inspira/examples/<component-folder-name>/
.
- Main components should be placed in
- Documentation:
- Documentation files are located in the
content/2.components/
directory. - After adding a component, write its documentation in this directory.
- Documentation files are located in the
- Language: All components should be written in Vue.js with TypeScript support.
- Styling: Use Tailwind CSS classes for styling whenever possible.
- Naming Conventions: Use
PascalCase
for component names and filenames.
Your Vue components should adhere to the following structure:
<!-- Template -->
<template>
<!-- Your template code goes here -->
</template>
<!-- Script -->
<script lang="ts" setup>
// Your script code goes here
</script>
<!-- Styles (if required) -->
<style scoped>
/* Your styles go here */
</style>
Notes:
- Use
<script lang="ts" setup>
for TypeScript and the Composition API. - Keep styles scoped to prevent conflicts.
- Ensure compatibility with both Nuxt and Vue.
- Use the Conventional Commits format.
- Begin with a type (
feat
,fix
,docs
, etc.) followed by a short description. - Example:
feat: add TextHoverEffect component
Proper documentation is crucial for users to understand and effectively use the components. Follow these guidelines when adding documentation for new components.
-
Create the Component
- Place the main component in
components/content/inspira/ui/<component-folder-name>/
. - Follow the Component Format specified above.
- If the component requires examples or demos, add demo components to
components/content/inspira/examples/<component-folder-name>/
.
- Place the main component in
-
Write Documentation
- Add a new Markdown file in
content/2.components/
for your component's documentation. - Use the appropriate template based on whether your component is single-file or multi-file (see below).
- Mention the Credits and source if the component is ported from any other UI library or taken inspiration from any other source.
- Add a new Markdown file in
-
Ensure Compatibility
- Test your component in both Nuxt and Vue environments.
For components that are contained within a single .vue
file, use the following template:
-
Front Matter
Begin with YAML front matter that includes the
title
anddescription
:--- title: Your Component Title description: A brief description of what your component does. ---
-
Preview Section
Use the
ComponentLoader
to display a live preview of the component. Theid
should be set to the folder name of your component incomponents/content/inspira/examples/
. In case, there is no folder, thenid
is not required.::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="YourComponentDemo" type="examples" id="your-component-folder-name"} ::
-
API Documentation
Provide a table listing all props:
## API | Prop Name | Type | Default | Description | | --------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------- | | `prop1` | `string` | `''` | Description of prop1. | | `prop2` | `number` | `0` | Description of prop2. |
-
Component Code
Include the full code of the component using
CodeViewer
. Theid
should be set to the folder name of your component incomponents/content/inspira/ui/
.## Component Code You can copy and paste the following code to create this component: ::CodeViewer{filename="YourComponent.vue" language="vue" componentName="YourComponent" type="ui" id="your-component-folder-name"} ::
Example:
---
title: Text Hover Effect
description: A text hover effect that animates and outlines gradient on hover.
---
::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="TextHoverEffectDemo" type="examples" id="text-hover-effect"}
::
## API
| Prop Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------- | -------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `text` | `string` | Required | The text to be displayed with the hover effect. |
| `duration` | `number` | `200` | The duration of the mask transition animation in seconds. |
| `strokeWidth` | `number` | `0.75` | The width of the text stroke. |
| `opacity` | `number` | `null` | The opacity of the text. |
## Component Code
You can copy and paste the following code to create this component:
::CodeViewer{filename="TextHoverEffect.vue" language="vue" componentName="TextHoverEffect" type="ui" id="text-hover-effect"}
::
In this example, the id
used in both ComponentLoader
and CodeViewer
is text-hover-effect
, which matches the folder name where the component and its demo are stored.
For components that consist of multiple files, such as a main component and several sub-components or variants, use the following template:
-
Front Matter
Begin with YAML front matter:
--- title: Your Components Group Title description: A brief description of what this group of components does. ---
-
Preview Sections
Include multiple
ComponentLoader
sections for each example or variant. Theid
should be set to the folder name of your component incomponents/content/inspira/examples/
.::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="ComponentVariantDemo" type="examples" id="your-component-folder-name"} ::
-
API Documentation

Component Code
Use a
code-group
to group multipleCodeViewerTab
components, one for each file. Theid
should be set to the folder name of your component incomponents/content/inspira/ui/
.## Component Code You can copy and paste the following code to create these components: ::code-group ::CodeViewerTab{label="MainComponent.vue" language="vue" componentName="MainComponent" type="ui" id="your-component-folder-name"} :: ::CodeViewerTab{filename="VariantOne.vue" language="vue" componentName="VariantOne" type="ui" id="your-component-folder-name"} :: ::CodeViewerTab{filename="VariantTwo.vue" language="vue" componentName="VariantTwo" type="ui" id="your-component-folder-name"} :: ::
Example:
---
title: Pattern Backgrounds
description: Simple animated pattern backgrounds to make your sections stand out.
---
::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="DotBackgroundDemo" type="examples" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
## Examples
Grid background without animation:
::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="GridBackgroundDemo" type="examples" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
Small grid background with animation:
::ComponentLoader{label="Preview" componentName="GridSmallBackgroundDemo" type="examples" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
## API
| Prop Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `animate` | `boolean` | `false` | Set `true` to animate the background. |
| `direction` | `'top' \| 'bottom' \| 'left' \| 'right' \| 'top-left' \| 'top-right' \| 'bottom-left' \| 'bottom-right'` | `'top'` | Direction of the animation movement. |
### Utility Classes
- **Dot Pattern:** `dark:bg-dot-white/[0.2] bg-dot-black/[0.2]`
- **Grid Pattern:** `dark:bg-grid-white/[0.2] bg-grid-black/[0.2]`
- **Small Grid Pattern:** `dark:bg-grid-small-white/[0.2] bg-grid-small-black/[0.2]`
## Component Code
You can copy and paste the following code to create these components:
::code-group
::CodeViewerTab{label="PatternBackground.vue" language="vue" componentName="PatternBackground" type="ui" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
::CodeViewerTab{filename="DotBackground.vue" language="vue" componentName="DotBackground" type="ui" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
::CodeViewerTab{filename="GridBackground.vue" language="vue" componentName="GridBackground" type="ui" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
::CodeViewerTab{filename="GridSmallBackground.vue" language="vue" componentName="GridSmallBackground" type="ui" id="pattern-backgrounds"}
::
::
In this example, the id
used in ComponentLoader
and all CodeViewerTab
components is pattern-backgrounds
, which matches the folder name where the components and their demos are stored.
- Unit Tests: Write unit tests for your component if applicable.
- Cross-Environment Testing: Ensure that your component works correctly in both Nuxt and Vue environments.
- Visual Testing: Check the component visually to ensure it renders correctly.
- Component Names: Use
PascalCase
for component filenames and names. - IDs: In
CodeViewer
,CodeViewerTab
, andComponentLoader
, theid
parameter should be set to the folder name where the component is stored incomponents/content/inspira/ui/<component-folder-name>/
andcomponents/content/inspira/examples/<component-folder-name>/
. This helps in correctly linking the code and examples in the documentation. - Demo Components: For each component, create a corresponding
Demo
component used in theComponentLoader
for previews, and place it incomponents/content/inspira/examples/<component-folder-name>/
. - Localization: If your component supports multiple languages, include details in the documentation.
