Components Overview

Open components — own and customize

These components are installed as source files into your repository. You commit them, edit them, and adapt them to your product. They’re designed to be customized — markup, styles, and behavior are all yours.

Note: we still publish npm components for convenience. These “open components” are an additional option when you want full control and easy customization.

Add components

Use our CLI to add components; it copies files into your repo (commonly under ./src/components/).

Customize

• Edit the component files directly to match your UX, API and business logic
• Because it’s your code, refactors and reviews are straightforward

Update or remove

• To update, add the component again and compare diffs in Git (cherry‑pick what you need)
• To remove, delete the files and related imports — no special uninstall
