How @bridge-ui/core, react, and vue packages fit together and how to import them.
Bridge UI is a small monorepo of packages. Knowing where logic lives helps when you customize tokens, read types, or contribute.
Packages
| Package | What it contains |
|---|---|
| @bridge-ui/react | React components, hooks, BridgeUIProvider, actions, theme.css, AI resources |
| @bridge-ui/vue | Vue components, composables, provider, createBridgeUI, theme.css, AI resources |
| @bridge-ui/core | Shared types, design tokens, utilities, and framework-agnostic logic (transitive) |
Apps install one adapter (react or vue). Core is a dependency of the adapter—you do not add it to package.json unless you want an explicit pin. You can install both adapters in a monorepo that ships React and Vue UIs—see Dual apps.
Import paths
Framework packages expose subpaths:
| Path | Use for |
|---|---|
| @bridge-ui/react or @bridge-ui/vue | Provider, createBridgeUI (Vue), re-exports |
| .../Components/<Name> | Individual components (Button, Select, …) |
| .../Actions | BridgeUIHosts, useModalAction, … |
| .../theme.css | Tailwind v4 theme + component sources |
| .../Provider | Provider-only entry (optional) |
| @bridge-ui/core | Shared types only when needed (still resolved via the adapter) |
Example component import:
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Button } from "@bridge-ui/vue/Components/Button";
</script>
<template>
<Button>Save</Button>
</template>
"use client";
import { Button } from "@bridge-ui/react/Components/Button";
export function Example() {
return <Button>Save</Button>;
}
Config surface
Customization is typed through @bridge-ui/core (BridgeUIOptions, BridgeUIComponentsConfig). Framework packages ship augments.d.ts so provider classes and defaultProps match React or Vue prop types—see Type overrides.
Runtime config flows through:
- Vue createBridgeUI(options) (optional)
- BridgeUIProvider global (including formDefaults) + components
- Instance props and classes on each component
