Components

Cardigan features a small, but growing number of components.

• <au-button> wraps the native <button> component
• <au-heading> wraps the native heading elements, h1 through to h6
• <au-image> wraps the native <img> element, but also offers support for scaling, srcSet and more
• <au-modal> a lightweight modal implementation
• <au-select> wraps the native select element

Styling Components

Styling components uses CSS Shadow Parts which allow you complete stylistic control over each component used. Each component in this library exposes a part name which you can then reference in your CSS styles.

For example, to style a primary button in your app you can reference the element and the primary style part like this:

au-button::part(primary) {
    background: blue;
}

Similarly, if you have added a class to your button, reference the class instead:

.my-button::part(primary) {
    background: blue;
}
