Why Starwind?

• ** Own Your Code** — Styled components live in your project, where you can understand and customize them.
• ✨ Animated by Default — Smooth, polished animations out of the box with Tailwind CSS v4.
• ♿ Accessible — Keyboard navigable and screen reader friendly. Built with a11y in mind.
• ** Portable Runtime** — Shared DOM behavior with generated Astro, React, and Vue 3.5 beta adapters.
• ️ CLI-Powered — Add only what you need with a simple npx starwind add command.

Looking for the main package? See starwind-ui/cli.

Get Started

Initialize an Astro or React project with the stable release:

npx starwind@latest init

Then add the components you need:

npx starwind@latest add

Vue 3.5 beta

Try the public beta in Vite Vue, Astro Vue, Nuxt 3 or 4, Laravel with Inertia Vue, or Quasar Vite SPA/SSR projects:

npm install @starwind-ui/vue@beta vue@^3.5
npx starwind@latest init --framework vue

Vue adapters use idiomatic v-model arguments, matching update:* events, and normal detailed event listeners. The Styled Image component remains Astro-only. The Vue API can change during the 0.x series. Report beta feedback in the Starwind UI issue tracker.

Runtime Architecture

Starwind components use a framework adapter backed by the shared, framework-neutral Runtime.
