# Starwind UI - AI Reference Guide
> Starwind UI is an open-source component library for Astro projects, styled with Tailwind CSS v4. It provides accessible, customizable components that can be added directly to your projects. The library follows a modular approach where components are added individually to your project via a CLI rather than imported from a package.
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Astro project
- Tailwind CSS v4
- Node.js
### Setup with CLI (Recommended)
1. Create a new astro project with `npm create astro@latest` or start with an existing Astro project.
2. If using pnpm, create a .npmrc file:
```
auto-install-peers=true
node-linker=hoisted
lockfile=true
```
3. Run the CLI to initialize:
```bash
pnpx starwind@latest init
# or
npx starwind@latest init
# or
yarn dlx starwind@latest init
```
4. Add components as needed:
```bash
npx starwind@latest add button
```
## Component Usage Pattern
All Starwind components follow a consistent pattern:
1. **Import the components**:
```astro
---
import { ComponentName } from "@/components/starwind/component-name";
---
```
2. **Use the components in your templates**:
```astro
Content
```

## Component Architecture Patterns
Most components follow a compound component pattern, where a parent component provides context to specialized child components:
### Example: Tooltip
```astro
Hover me
Add to library
```
### Example: Pagination
```astro
Prev
1
2
3
Next
```
## Common Props and Patterns
### Variant Props
Many components support variant props that change their visual appearance:
- `variant="default"` (usually the default)
- `variant="primary"`
- `variant="secondary"`
- `variant="outline"`
- `variant="ghost"`
- `variant="info"`
- `variant="success"`
- `variant="warning"`
- `variant="error"`
### Size Props
Many components support size props:
- `size="sm"`
- `size="md"` (usually the default)
- `size="lg"`
### CSS Variables
Starwind UI uses CSS variables for theming. Key variables include:
**Base**
- `--background`: Default background color
- `--foreground`: Default text color
**Component Colors**
- `--primary` / `--primary-foreground`: Primary action colors
- `--secondary` / `--secondary-foreground`: Secondary action colors
- `--muted` / `--muted-foreground`: Muted UI elements
- `--accent` / `--accent-foreground`: Accent elements like hover states
- `--card` / `--card-foreground`: Card component colors
- `--popover` / `--popover-foreground`: Popover component colors
- `--info` / `--info-foreground`: Information messaging colors
- `--success` / `--success-foreground`: Success messaging colors
- `--warning` / `--warning-foreground`: Warning messaging colors
- `--error` / `--error-foreground`: Error messaging colors
**Utilities**
- `--border`: Border color
- `--input`: Input component border color
- `--outline`: Focus outline color
- `--radius`: Base border radius
### Dark Mode Support
Starwind supports dark mode via a `.dark` class, which changes the CSS variables.
## Command Line Interface
### Initialize Project
```bash
npx starwind@latest init
```
### Add Components
```bash
npx starwind@latest add button card dialog
```
### Update Components
```bash
npx starwind@latest update button
```
### Remove Components
```bash
npx starwind@latest remove button
```
## Best Practices
1. **Accessibility**: Starwind components are built with accessibility in mind. Maintain ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation when customizing.
2. **Compound Components**: Use the compound component pattern (parent + specialized children) when appropriate.
3. **Consistent Importing**: Always import from `@/components/starwind/component-name` to maintain consistency.
4. **Tailwind Integration**: Starwind is designed to work with Tailwind CSS v4, leveraging its utility classes and design tokens.
5. **Theming**: Use the CSS variables system for consistent theming rather than direct color references.
