Getting Started

Learn how to use david-ai components to quickly and easily create elegant and flexible pages using Tailwind CSS.

david-ai is working with Tailwind CSS classes and you need to have Tailwind CSS installed on your project - Tailwind CSS Installation.

Using with CDN

You can include david-ai via a CDN and initialize alerts globally in the browser. Add the following script to your HTML file:

<script
  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/creativetimofficial/david-ai@1.0.6/packages/dist/david-ai.min.js"
  defer
></script>

Basic Usage NPM

npm i david-ai

After installing, you can use the components in your project across different frameworks:

import { initAlert } from "david-ai";

// Initialize alerts
initAlert();

Using with Global Access

If you prefer, you can use the DavidAI global object instead of directly importing initAlert:

import * as DavidAI from "david-ai";

// Initialize alerts
DavidAI.initAlert();

TypeScript

David AI components can be used in two ways - through simple ESM imports or programmatically with TypeScript support. Here's how to use both approaches:

Simple ESM Import

The quickest way to use components is through direct ESM imports:

import { initAlert } from "david-ai";

// Initialize alerts
initAlert();

Programmatic Usage with TypeScript

For more control and type safety, you can use the programmatic approach with full TypeScript support:

This programmatic approach provides:

• Full TypeScript support
• Fine-grained control over component behavior
• Access to component instance methods
• Proper cleanup on unmount

import { Accordion } from "david-ai";
import type { AccordionConfig, IAccordion } from "david-ai";

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  const container = document.getElementById("accordion-container");

  if (container) {
    const config: AccordionConfig = {
      exclusive: true,
      allOpen: false,
    };

    const accordion: IAccordion = new Accordion(container, config);

    // Handle external button controls
    const showAllButton = document.getElementById("show-all");
    const hideAllButton = document.getElementById("hide-all");
    const toggleFirstButton = document.getElementById("toggle-first");

    showAllButton?.addEventListener("click", () => {
      accordion.showAll();
    });

    hideAllButton?.addEventListener("click", () => {
      accordion.hideAll();
    });

    toggleFirstButton?.addEventListener("click", () => {
      const firstButton = document.getElementById("button-1") as HTMLElement;
      if (firstButton) {
        accordion.toggle(firstButton);
      }
    });

    // Cleanup on unmount
    window.addEventListener("unload", () => {
      accordion.cleanup();
    });
  }
});
