Spire UI

A modern TALL stack component library built with Tailwind CSS v4, Livewire 3, and Alpine.js.

Features

  • Modern Stack: Built on the TALL stack (Tailwind v4, Alpine.js, Laravel 12, Livewire 3)
  • Zero Config: Pre-built assets served via Blade directives - no build step required
  • Accessible: Full keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, and semantic HTML
  • Themeable: Semantic color tokens with built-in light/dark mode support
  • Localized: i18n support for English, French, and Arabic
  • Composable: Highly flexible components using Blade slots and attributes

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require stratos/spire-ui

Quick Start (Zero Config)

Add the Blade directives to your layout file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    @spireStyles
    @livewireStyles
</head>
<body>
    {{ $slot }}

    @spireScripts
    @livewireScripts
</body>
</html>

That's it! No npm install, no build step required. Start using components immediately:

<x-spire::button>Click me</x-spire::button>

Using the Pre-built Layout

Publish the admin layout for a complete starting point:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=spire-ui-layouts

This creates resources/views/components/layouts/admin.blade.php with a full sidebar + header layout.

Advanced Setup (Custom Bundling)

For projects that need to customize or bundle Spire UI with their own assets:

1. Import CSS

In your resources/css/app.css:

@import 'tailwindcss';
@import '../../vendor/stratos/spire-ui/resources/css/index.css';

2. Import JavaScript

In your resources/js/app.js:

import { initializeSpireUI } from '../../vendor/stratos/spire-ui/resources/js/index';

initializeSpireUI();

3. Build Assets

npm run build

4. Use Vite in Layout

<head>
    @vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
    @livewireStyles
</head>
<body>
    {{ $slot }}
    @livewireScripts
</body>

Blade Directives

Directive Description
@spireStyles Outputs CSS link tag for all Spire UI styles
@spireScripts Outputs JS script tags and initializes Alpine components

Configuration

Publish the configuration file to customize component defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=spire-ui-config

This creates config/spire-ui.php where you can customize:

  • prefix - Component prefix (default: spire)
  • asset_route - Route path for serving assets (default: spire-ui)
  • theme.dark_mode - Dark mode strategy
  • defaults - Global component defaults (size, radius, placement)
  • Component-specific settings

Environment Variables

SPIRE_UI_PREFIX=spire
SPIRE_UI_ASSET_ROUTE=spire-ui
SPIRE_UI_DARK_MODE=class

Usage

Components use the configured prefix (default: spire):

<x-spire::button>Click me</x-spire::button>
<x-spire::input label="Name" />
<x-spire::select :options="$options" />

Component Naming Convention

Spire UI uses folder-based components with dot notation:

  • Parent component: <x-spire::dropdown />
  • Child component: <x-spire::dropdown.item />

Theming

Spire UI uses semantic color tokens with automatic light/dark mode support.

Available Tokens

  • Primary: primary, primary-hover, primary-active, primary-foreground
  • Secondary: secondary, secondary-hover, secondary-active, secondary-foreground
  • Surfaces: body, surface, overlay (elevation hierarchy)
  • Text: text, text-muted, text-disabled
  • Borders: border, border-hover, border-focus
  • States: success, error, warning, info (each with -hover, -bg, -foreground)

Surface Elevation Hierarchy

Three-layer elevation system:

Layer Light Mode Dark Mode Usage
body neutral-50 neutral-950 Page background
surface white neutral-900 Cards, panels
overlay neutral-100 neutral-800 Modals, dialogs 
<body class="bg-body text-text">
    <div class="bg-surface border border-border rounded-lg p-6">
        Card content
    </div>
</body>

Customizing Theme

Publish the theme CSS file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=spire-ui-css

Edit resources/css/spire-ui-theme.css to customize colors.

Localization

Spire UI supports English, French, and Arabic. Set your application locale:

// config/app.php
'locale' => 'en', // or 'fr', 'ar'

Publish translations for customization:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=spire-ui-lang
