Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) Scaffold your asset setup with a single command: ``` php spark kindling:install ``` The command asks which entry points you want and whether to include Tailwind, Alpine, or HTMX. Pass flags to skip the prompts: ``` php spark kindling:install --entry=app --tailwind --alpine --no-htmx ``` Then install npm dependencies and start the dev server: ``` npm install npm run dev ``` Add `vite_tags()` to your CI4 layout: ``` ``` That's it. See the [Getting Started guide](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/getting-started/) for the full walkthrough. Optional integrations --------------------- [](#optional-integrations) ### Tailwind CSS [](#tailwind-css) Pass `--tailwind` at install time to include [Tailwind CSS v4](https://tailwindcss.com/) via the official Vite plugin. kindling generates a Tailwind-aware `vite.config.js` and a CSS entry stub with the import already included. ``` php spark kindling:install --tailwind ``` [Tailwind CSS docs →](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/tailwind/) ### Alpine.js [](#alpinejs) Pass `--alpine` to include [Alpine.js](https://alpinejs.dev/). kindling adds it to `package.json` and writes the initialization code into your JS entry file. ``` php spark kindling:install --alpine ``` [Alpine.js docs →](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/alpine/) ### HTMX [](#htmx) Pass `--htmx` to include [HTMX v2](https://htmx.org/). Works great alongside [michalsn/codeigniter-htmx](https://github.com/michalsn/codeigniter-htmx) for CI4-aware HTMX helpers. ``` php spark kindling:install --htmx ``` [HTMX docs →](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/htmx/) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Full documentation is at **[lonnieezell.github.io/kindling](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/)**. - [Getting Started](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/getting-started/) — working in under 5 minutes - [Vite Fundamentals](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/vite-fundamentals/) — new to Vite? Start here - [Configuration](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/configuration/) — every config option explained - [Using in Views](https://lonnieezell.github.io/kindling/views/) — the `vite_tags()` helper and nonce support Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Pull requests are welcome.
