Why Corrosive Components

As a web developer passionate about performance, I wanted a set of components that took full advantage of Qwik’s resumable nature. That’s why I created corrosive components, a library tailored specifically for Qwik to make building performant and interactive UIs a breeze that is feature-complete, easy to use, and independent of any other packages.

How Corrosive Components

Installation via NPM or Bun

You can install the Crossive Components library using npm or bun. Run the following command in your project directory:

npm install crossive-components

bun install crossive-components

Add useStyles(DefaultStyle) with useStyles(DefaultResources) or useStyles(DefaultDarkResources) to the root layout element to apply styles.

import {
  DefaultResources, // or(DefaultDarkResources)
  DefaultStyle,
} from 'corrosive-components'

export default component$(() => {
  useStyles$(DefaultResources) // or(useStyles$(DefaultDarkResources))
  useStyles$(DefaultStyle)

  return (
    // content
  )
})

Directly Copying Component Source Code

If you prefer not to install the package, you can directly copy the source code for individual components and their styles and use them in your project.

Note that you still need to add DefaultResources or DefaultDarkResources to the root layout element.
Styling Overview

Styles in corrosive components consist of two parts, Resources which contain the variables and Styles which contain the regular styles.

Default style is DefaultStyle and resources are DefaultResources and DefaultDarkResources which are compiled inline CSS files.
