Getting started

Quick Start

One file, zero class names. Semantic HTML is styled automatically via element selectors — connect classless.min.css and write plain HTML. Need component classes instead? The full library lives at njxui.dev.

✦ One stylesheet at a time. classless.min.css and the full style.min.css are standalone builds — don't load both together.

1

Add the stylesheet

One <link> tag in <head>. No configuration needed.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/njx-ui@1/css/classless.min.css">

2

Write plain HTML

No class names needed. Every native HTML element — <button>, <table>, <form>, <details> — gets styled automatically.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/njx-ui@1/css/classless.min.css">
</head>
<body>
  <button>Hello njX</button>
  <article>
    <h2>Works.</h2>
    <p>No class names needed.</p>
  </article>
</body>
</html>

3

Themes (optional)

Classless supports the same 9 themes. Add data-theme to <html> to switch color palettes.

<html data-theme="dark">
<!-- dark · light · red · blue · green · cyan · yellow · pink · purple -->

📦

More install options: npm install, download ZIP, or import individual CSS files. See the Quick Start guide for all methods.

Theme system

Themes

9 built-in themes, each defined as a complete set of CSS custom properties. Switch the entire UI with one attribute — no JavaScript required.

Theme switching

/* Via HTML attribute */
<html data-theme="purple">

/* Via JavaScript */
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', 'purple');

/* With localStorage persistence */
function setTheme(name) {
  document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', name);
  localStorage.setItem('theme', name);
}
const saved = localStorage.getItem('theme');
if (saved) setTheme(saved);

💡

All these elements respond to data-theme — switch to any of 9 themes with zero extra CSS. Want component classes (.btn-glow, .card-glass...)? Switch to Full mode.

Reference

JavaScript

Classless mode requires zero JavaScript. Interactive elements work natively via HTML.

💡

Collapse / Accordion — use <details><summary>, browser handles open/close natively.
Dialogs — use <dialog> with showModal() — no library needed.
Forms — native validation with required, pattern, type attributes.

Want openModal(), showToast(), tabSwitch()? Switch to Interactive mode.

Native HTML — no JS needed

<!-- Accordion: native open/close -->
<details>
  <summary>Click to expand</summary>
  <p>Content here</p>
</details>

<!-- Dialog: native modal -->
<dialog id="dlg">
  <p>Modal content</p>
  <button onclick="dlg.close()">Close</button>
</dialog>
<button onclick="dlg.showModal()">Open</button>

Using Design Tokens

How to write CSS that works with all 9 themes automatically.

9 themes automatically No hardcoded colors DRY — one token everywhere

1

Colors — `--color-*`

Never hardcode a hex value. Use a token — and when the theme changes, the color updates automatically everywhere.

❌ Bad — hardcoded

.btn {
  color: #14a0ff;
  border: 1px solid #14a0ff;
  background: rgba(20,160,255,0.1);
}

✅ Good — uses tokens

.btn {
  color: var(--color-primary);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-primary);
  background: color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-primary) 12%, transparent);
}

2

Spacing — `--space-*`

4px base grid. Index = multiplier × 4px.

--space-1
4px

--space-2
8px

--space-3
12px

--space-4
16px

--space-6
24px

--space-8
32px

--space-12
48px

--space-16
64px

.header { padding: var(--space-4) var(--space-6); }
.card   { padding: var(--space-6); margin-bottom: var(--space-4); }
.layout { gap: var(--space-4); }

Typography — `--fs-*`

.heading { font-size: var(--fs-3xl); font-weight: 800; }

Font Families — `--font-*`

--font-sans → Inter (body)

--font-heading → Poppins (headings)

--font-mono → Roboto Mono (code)

💡

Change the active font for the whole site by overriding --font-sans, --font-heading or --font-mono in your own CSS — all components update automatically.

5

Radius & Shadows — `--radius-` / `--shadow-`

--radius-none
0

--radius-sm
6px

--radius-md
12px

--radius-lg
20px

--radius-full
9999px

.btn   { border-radius: var(--radius-sm); box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm); }
.card  { border-radius: var(--radius-md); box-shadow: var(--shadow-md); }
.modal { border-radius: var(--radius-lg); box-shadow: var(--shadow-lg); }
.glow  { box-shadow: var(--shadow-primary); }

5

Transitions — `--ease-*`

var(--ease-fast)  /* 0.1s ease — for hover states */
var(--ease)       /* 0.2s ease — standard default */
var(--ease-slow)  /* 0.4s ease — smooth reveals */

.btn  { transition: all var(--ease); }
.card { transition: transform var(--ease), box-shadow var(--ease); }

6

Full component — tokens only

Reference

Utility Classes

Utility classes are part of Full mode.

💡

Classes like .flex, .p-4, .text-primary are included in Full mode (style.min.css). In Classless mode only native HTML tags are styled — no utility classes are needed to get a clean look.

Reference

Animations

Animation classes are part of Full mode.

💡

Classes like .fade-in, .animate-pulse, .animate-float are included in Full mode. Classless mode doesn't include animation classes — use native CSS @keyframes in your own stylesheet if needed.

File Structure

Classless mode — one file, zero dependencies.

njx-ui/
├── classless.min.css   ← 48 KB standalone, no classes
│
│  That's it. No JS, no config, no build step.
│
│  Internally it contains:
│  ├── _base.css            ← design tokens + 9 themes
│  └── _classless-tags.css  ← styles on h1, p, button, input...

💡

Want component classes too? Switch to style.min.css (Full) — it styles components via classes. Full and Classless are standalone builds: use one, not both.

Semantic HTML — no class names needed.
