--------------

[](#what-is-braid)

Braid is a pattern library tool for Laravel (+ Livewire) projects.

It enables developers to view components and markup in isolation, allowing for a consistent, clutter-free view of the atomic structure of their layouts.

Installing Braid
----------------

[](#installing-braid)

Braid can be installed via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require njpanderson/braid

```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

See the [Braid documentation](https://njpanderson.github.io/braid/) for more information.

To contribute to documentation, run docker from the project root with `docker compose up` (or `docker-compose up`). This should start Jekyll and a server which can display the current documentation in a browser.
