Motivation

The purpose of this library is to make it easier to reuse components across my projects. Note: This library is currently under development, and its interfaces may change without prior notice.

Components

• Button
• Console
• Input

Installation

To use Tale Elements, all you need to do is install the tale-elements package and its peer dependencies:

# with npm
$ npm i tale-elements

# with pnpm
$ pnpm add tale-elements

How to use

How you add the component to a page may vary depending on the tools you use in your work. If you use Vite or other bundler, you can add components by importing them into a script that is imported elsewhere into a page:

// Importing into a javascript file, like index.js
import { TButton } from "@tale-elements";

<!-- importing directy into an HTML page -->
<script type="module">
  import { TButton } from "@tale-elements";
</script>
<t-button></t-button>

If you're using vanilla JavaScript, include an import map in your HTML to handle module imports, as browsers don't process relative paths natively. Alternatively, consider using bundlers like Vite or Webpack for more complex setups.

<!-- create an import map for the browser -->
<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "tale-elements": "./node_modules/tale-elements/dist/esm/index.js"
    }
  }
</script>

<!-- import your custom elements -->
<script type="module">
  import { TButton } from "tale-elements";
</script>

Style as you like!

With our library, you have complete freedom to style your components. You can choose from pre-defined styles using the variant and shape attributes, or if you prefer full control, you can customize each element individually using the ::part CSS API. We expose all HTML elements so you can style them as needed.
