Installation

Install with Composer, wire with ui:install, build. Three steps and every component plus 37 themes × 11 tunes are ready to use.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2+
  • Laravel 11 / 12 / 13
  • Tailwind CSS v4 (the default Vite setup on Laravel 11+)
  • Node.js (for the Vite build)

1. Add the package

bash 
composer require sparrowhawk-labs/pinion-ui

The icon package (pinion-icons) is pulled in automatically as a dependency — no separate install needed.

2. Wire it up with ui:install

bash 
php artisan ui:install --ai

This command does all the wiring:

  • Adds npm dependencies — daisyui ^5 / alpinejs ^3 / @alpinejs/focus / @alpinejs/collapse
  • Adds a single @import of the pinion-ui preset to resources/css/app.css (loads themes, tunes, and @source globs in one line)
  • Wires Alpine and its plugins into resources/js/app.js
  • Patches your layout's <html> with a data-theme attribute
  • With --ai, appends a reference to AGENTS.md into your project's CLAUDE.md so AI agents can read the correct usage rules

3. Build

bash 
npm install && npm run build

That's it. Components like <x-button> are ready to use in your Blade templates.

Pick a theme and a tune

The look is controlled by two attributes on <html>: data-theme sets the color palette (37 palettes × light/dark) and data-tune sets shape, spacing, and typography (11 presets). The two axes are orthogonal — mix them freely.

html 
<html data-theme="pinion" data-tune="default">

Try combinations live with the Theme / Tune switcher in the top-right navbar — it applies to this page too.

A single button is enough to verify the setup. The component catalog links to every component's usage page. Component Catalog →

Using it with AI agents

pinion-ui is designed for AI-assisted coding. The AGENTS.md wired by ui:install --ai documents calling conventions, gotchas, and the class-vocabulary rules, so agents like Claude Code write correct code from the start. It also installs a Claude Code hook that runs ui:lint automatically after Blade edits (skip with --skip-hooks).
