@nonoun/native-ui

Zero-dependency web component library with an OKLCH CSS design system, signal-based reactivity, and composable trait controllers. No shadow DOM — styling via CSS custom property inheritance, light-dark() theming, and zero-specificity attribute selectors.

Install

npm install @nonoun/native-ui

Quick Start

1. Load CSS (required — CSS is not bundled with JS):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/@nonoun/native-ui/dist/foundation.css">

Or via a bundler:

@import '@nonoun/native-ui/css';

2a. Register all elements (simplest):

import '@nonoun/native-ui/register';

2b. Or import individual classes (tree-shakeable):

import { NButton, define } from '@nonoun/native-ui';
define('n-button', NButton);

3. Use in HTML:

<n-button variant="primary" intent="accent">Save</n-button>
<n-input placeholder="Email" name="email"></n-input>
<n-select placeholder="Country" options='[{"value":"us","label":"United States"}]'></n-select>

CSS Architecture

CSS is distributed separately from JavaScript. Components have no shadow DOM and no adopted stylesheets — all styling flows through CSS custom properties and zero-specificity :where() attribute selectors in @layer ui.

This means:

• You must load CSS via <link> or @import — it is not automatic
• You can override any component style with a single class selector
• Theming works via 9 OKLCH environment parameters on :root
• Dark mode is automatic via light-dark() — no class toggles needed

Components

30 interactive components, 11 structural containers, 26 trait controllers, and a Phosphor icon system.

Traits

Composable behaviors available as controllers (imperative) or via <n-controller> (declarative):

PressController DismissController PopoverController RovingFocusController FocusTrapController DragController DropZoneController RangeSelectController CollapsibleController ToastController ValidateController ResizeController VirtualScrollController CopyController SortController HoverController IntersectController SelectionController SearchController ClipboardController SwipeController EditController DialogController ListNavigateController PresentController GatewayController

Documentation

Full documentation lives in the docs/ directory on GitHub — 12 focused files optimized for LLM/coding-agent consumption. Start with docs/README.md for a navigation index, then load topic files on demand.

Note: The docs/ directory is not included in the npm package. Fetch from GitHub when you need detailed reference beyond this README.

Browser Support

Modern browsers only. Requires native support for:

• Custom Elements v1 + ElementInternals
• CSS @layer, :where(), oklch(), light-dark()
• Popover API + anchor positioning
• <dialog> element
