LightningUiKit

UI components for fast prototyping in Rails applications.

Preview is available at ui.k0va1.dev

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

$ bundle

Add the following lines to your application.html.erb file:

Usage

Use the lui helper to render components:

<%= lui.button { "Click me" } %>
<%= lui.button(style: :outline) { "Cancel" } %>
<%= lui.button(style: :destructive, size: :small) { "Delete" } %>

Form Components

<%= lui.input(name: :email, type: :email, label: "Email") %>
<%= lui.textarea(name: :bio, label: "Biography", rows: 4) %>
<%= lui.select(name: :country, label: "Country", options: [["US", "us"], ["UK", "uk"]]) %>
<%= lui.checkbox(name: :terms, label: "Accept terms") %>
<%= lui.switch(name: :notifications, label: "Enable notifications") %>

With Rails Form Builder

<%= form_with model: @user do |form| %>
  <%= lui.input(name: :email, type: :email, label: "Email", form: form) %>
  <%= lui.textarea(name: :bio, label: "Biography", form: form) %>
  <%= lui.button(type: :submit) { "Save" } %>
<% end %>

Components with Slots

  <% end %>
  <% modal.with_action do %>
    <%= lui.button { "Confirm" } %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

<%= lui.table(data: @users) do |table| %>
  <% table.with_column("Name") { |user| user.name } %>
