+# Spicerack
+
+Spicerack is a small, dat.GUI-inspired controls panel for inspecting and changing values in a web application.
+
+Spicerack uses Vue internally, but its consumer API is ordinary JavaScript. Applications do not need to create Vue components, install the Vue Vite plugin, or mount a Vue app.
+
+```js
+import { createSpicerack } from '@ozio/spicerack';
+
+const gui = createSpicerack([
+  { key: 'name', value: 'Nicholas', label: 'Name' },
+  { key: 'points', value: 32, label: 'Points' },
+  { key: 'enabled', value: true, label: 'Enabled' }
+]);
+
+gui.mount('#spicerack');
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### npm
+
+```sh
+npm install @ozio/spicerack
+```
+
+```js
+import { createSpicerack } from '@ozio/spicerack';
+```
+
+Vue and the built-in controls are bundled implementation details of `@ozio/spicerack`; consumers do not install or import them directly.
+
+### jsDelivr (ESM)
+
+```html
+<div id="spicerack"></div>
+
+<script type="module">
+  import { createSpicerack } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ozio/spicerack/+esm';
+
+  const gui = createSpicerack([
+    { key: 'message', value: 'Hello', label: 'Message' }
+  ]);
+
+  gui.mount('#spicerack');
+</script>
+```
+
+Pin a package version in production if reproducible builds are important:
+
+```js
+import { createSpicerack } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ozio/spicerack@0.1.0-beta.7/+esm';
+```
+
+## Sample usage
+
+### Defining a config
+
+Pass a config array and optional settings to `createSpicerack(config, options)`. A control's `type` can be omitted for string, number, and boolean values.
+
+```js
+import { createSpicerack } from '@ozio/spicerack';
+
+const gui = createSpicerack([
+  {
+    type: 'folder',
+    label: 'Player',
+    open: true,
+    config: [
+      {
+        key: 'name',
+        value: 'LeBron James',
+        label: 'Name',
+        maxlength: 40
+      },
+      {
+        key: 'points',
+        type: 'range',
+        value: 32,
+        label: 'Points',
+        min: 0,
+        max: 100,
+        step: 1
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  {
+    key: 'conference',
+    type: 'list',
+    value: '',
+    label: 'Conference',
+    options: [
+      { value: '', label: 'All Conferences' },
+      { value: 'east', label: 'Eastern' },
+      { value: 'west', label: 'Western' }
+    ]
+  },
+  {
+    type: 'button',
+    label: 'Reset',
+    onClick(event) {
+      console.log('Reset clicked', event);
+    }
+  }
+], {
+  title: 'Player Settings',
+  theme: 'dark',
+  position: 'top-right',
+  open: true
+});
+```
+
+Spicerack currently supports one folder level. Do not put a folder inside another folder.
+
+### Mounting to the DOM
+
+Construction and mounting are separate operations:
+
+```js
+const gui = createSpicerack(config);
+
+gui.mount('#spicerack');
+```
+
+`mount()` accepts a CSS selector or an `Element`. If no target is supplied, it mounts to `document.body`.
+
+```js
+gui.mount(document.querySelector('#spicerack'));
+```
+
+An instance currently supports one application mount in normal use. An explicit public `unmount()` API is not yet available.
+
+### Reading and changing values
+
+Each keyed value control is available through `gui.model`:
+
+```js
+console.log(gui.model.points.value);
+
+gui.model.points.value = 50;
+```
+
+Calling `gui.json()` returns a plain snapshot of all model values:
+
+```js
+console.log(gui.json());
+// { name: 'LeBron James', points: 50, conference: '' }
+```
+
+Folders and buttons are structural or action controls and are not added to the model. During the current beta, a divider still requires a key and creates an `undefined` model field; this is tracked as a structural-control issue.
+
+### Adding event handlers
+
+Subscribe to model changes with `on('change', callback)`. This observes both user input and programmatic assignments.
+
+```js
+const stop = gui.model.points.on('change', (value, previousValue) => {
+  console.log({ value, previousValue });
+});
+
+gui.model.points.value = 51;
+
+stop();
+```
+
+Control-level listeners can also be supplied with Vue-style listener prop names. Value controls emit the new domain value followed by the original DOM event:
+
+```js
+const config = [
+  {
+    key: 'name',
+    value: 'Nicholas',
+    label: 'Name',
+    onChange(value, event) {
+      console.log(value, event);
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    type: 'button',
+    label: 'Save',
+    onClick(event) {
+      console.log('Save', event);
+    }
+  }
+];
+```
+
+Prefer model subscriptions when application behavior should also react to programmatic value changes.
+
+## API
+
+### `createSpicerack(config, options?)`
+
+Creates and returns a Spicerack instance. It does not mount anything during construction.
+
+### Config
+
+The first argument is an array of config records. Spicerack reserves `key`, `type`, `value`, and `config`; other properties are forwarded to the selected control as props or event listeners.
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `key` | `string` | Unique model key. Required for value controls. |
+| `type` | `string` | Registered control type. Optional when inferred from a string, number, or boolean value. |
+| `value` | `unknown` | Initial value for a value control. |
+| `label` | `string` | Visible control label. |
+| `config` | `SpicerackConfig[]` | Child controls for a folder. One folder level is supported. |
+| Additional properties | `unknown` | Forwarded to the selected control, such as `min`, `max`, `step`, `options`, or `onChange`. |
+
+Keys must be non-empty strings and unique across the entire config, including controls inside folders. Buttons do not require a key or value.
+
+### Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `controls` | `Record<string, SpicerackControl>` | `{}` | Custom controls added to the registry. A matching name can override a built-in control. |
+| `tokens` | `SpicerackTokens` | Built-in theme | Style-token overrides. |
+| `open` | `boolean` | Persisted value or `true` | Initial expanded state. |
+| `theme` | `'light' \| 'dark'` | Persisted value or `'dark'` | Initial color theme. |
+| `position` | `'top-left' \| 'top-right' \| 'bottom-left' \| 'bottom-right'` | Persisted value or `'top-right'` | Initial panel corner. |
+| `title` | `string` | `''` | Header title. |
+
+An explicit option takes precedence over a persisted value. Panel state is currently stored in `localStorage` with the keys `sr:open`, `sr:theme`, and `sr:corner`.
+
+### Return object
+
+#### `mount(target?)`
+
+Mounts the panel to a selector or `Element`. The default target is `document.body`.
+
+#### `model`
+
+A null-prototype object containing one field per keyed value control. Each field exposes:
+
+- `value`: get or set the current value.
+- `on('change', callback)`: observe value changes and receive an unsubscribe function.
+
+#### `json()`
+
+Returns a plain object containing the current value of every model field.
+
+#### `version`
+
+The installed Spicerack package version as a string.
+
+## Built-in controls
+
+| Type | Value | Additional props | Events |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `boolean` | `boolean` | `label` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `button` | None | `label` | `click(event)` |
+| `divider` | None | None | None |
+| `folder` | None | `label`, `open`, `config` | `click(event)` |
+| `list` | Any option value | `label`, `options` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `number` | `number` | `label`, `min`, `max` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `range` | `number` | `label`, `min`, `max`, `step` | `input(value, event)`, `change(value, event)` |
+| `switch` | `boolean` | `label` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `text` | `string` | `label`, `minlength`, `maxlength` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `textarea` | `string` | `label`, `minlength`, `maxlength`, `rows`, `resize` | `change(value, event)` |
+| `toggle` | `boolean` | `label` | `change(value, event)` |
+
+The shared control contract is still evolving. In particular, a common `disabled` prop is not yet implemented across every interactive control.
+
+During the current beta, divider config records require a unique `key` even though dividers have no value. This requirement is expected to be removed.
+
+## Custom controls
+
+Custom controls are compiled Vue components registered through the framework-neutral Spicerack options object. Consumers of your control package still interact with Spicerack through ordinary JavaScript.
+
+```js
+import { createSpicerack } from '@ozio/spicerack';
+import { FancyControl } from 'fancy-spicerack-controls';
+
+const gui = createSpicerack([
+  {
+    key: 'nickname',
+    type: 'fancy',
+    value: 'King',
+    label: 'Nickname',
+    emphasis: 'strong'
+  }
+], {
+  controls: {
+    fancy: FancyControl
+  }
+});
+
+gui.mount('#spicerack');
+```
+
+See the [built-in controls source](https://github.com/ortenzio/spicerack/tree/main/packages/controls/src) for working component examples.
+
+### Package dependencies
+
+A third-party control package should treat Vue as a peer dependency and include the build tooling it uses as development dependencies:
+
+```json
+{
+  "peerDependencies": {
+    "vue": "^3.5.40"
+  },
+  "devDependencies": {
+    "@vitejs/plugin-vue": "^6.0.0",
+    "vite": "^8.2.0",
+    "vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js": "^5.0.2",
+    "vue": "^3.5.40"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Vite config
+
+This configuration matches the current built-in control packaging strategy. Vue is externalized so the control package uses Spicerack's runtime:
+
+```js
+import { resolve } from 'node:path';
+import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
+import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
+import cssInjectedByJs from 'vite-plugin-css-injected-by-js';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    vue(),
+    cssInjectedByJs()
+  ],
+  build: {
+    lib: {
+      entry: resolve(import.meta.dirname, 'index.js'),
+      formats: ['es'],
+      fileName: 'index'
+    },
+    rolldownOptions: {
+      external: ['vue']
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+If you extract CSS instead, document the stylesheet import that consumers must add.
+
+### Vue SFC contract
+
+Value controls receive `modelValue` and should emit `update:modelValue`. Vue's `defineModel()` macro handles both:
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <label data-sr-control="fancy">
+    <span v-if="label" data-sr-label>{{ label }}</span>
+    <input
+      v-model="model"
+      :disabled="disabled"
+      @change="handleChange"
+    />
+  </label>
+</template>
+
+<script setup>
+defineProps({
+  label: { type: String, default: null },
+  disabled: { type: Boolean, default: false }
+});
+
+const model = defineModel();
+const emit = defineEmits(['change']);
+
+function handleChange (event) {
+  emit('change', model.value, event);
+}
+</script>
+```
+
+Action controls should emit `click` and do not need to define a model.
+
+### Style directives
+
+Spicerack provides low-specificity structural styles for these attributes:
+
+- `[data-sr-control]`: root element for a control.
+- `[data-sr-label]`: shared label typography.
+- `[data-sr-spacer]`: flexible spacer used in horizontal controls.
+
+Controls can use Spicerack's CSS custom properties, including:
+
+- `--sr-bg-app`, `--sr-bg-control`, `--sr-bg-accent`
+- `--sr-fg-app`, `--sr-fg-elm`, `--sr-fg-muted`
+- `--sr-border-app`, `--sr-border-active`
+- `--sr-fs-label`, `--sr-fs-input`
+- `--sr-control-radius`, `--sr-control-gap`
+
+Treat these as part of the current authoring environment, but expect the design-token surface to evolve during beta releases.
+
+## Style tokens
+
+Pass token overrides through `options.tokens`:
+
+```js
+const gui = createSpicerack(config, {
+  tokens: {
+    appWidth: '20rem',
+    appZIndex: 1000,
+    controlRadius: '0.5rem',
+    bgColorAccent: 'rebeccapurple'
+  }
+});
+```
+
+Available keys:
+
+- Layout: `appEdgeSpacing`, `appPadding`, `appRadius`, `appWidth`, `appZIndex`
+- Controls: `controlRadius`, `controlGap`
+- Typography: `fontSizeControl`, `fontSizeInput`, `fontSizeTitle`
+- Backgrounds: `bgColorAccent`, `bgColorAccentHover`, `bgColorActive`, `bgColorAlt`, `bgColorApp`, `bgColorCard`, `bgColorControl`, `bgColorElm`, `bgColorMuted`
+- Foregrounds: `fgColorAccent`, `fgColorActive`, `fgColorAlt`, `fgColorApp`, `fgColorCard`, `fgColorElm`, `fgColorMuted`
+- Borders: `borderColorActive`, `borderColorAlt`, `borderColorApp`, `borderColorCard`, `borderColorElm`, `borderColorMuted`
+
+CSS length and color tokens accept CSS strings. `appZIndex` accepts a number.
+
+## Types
+
+The package includes declarations for `createSpicerack` and exports the public API types:
+
+```ts
+import {
+  createSpicerack,
+  type SpicerackConfig,
+  type SpicerackInstance,
+  type SpicerackOptions,
+  type SpicerackTokens
+} from '@ozio/spicerack';
+```
+
+The maintained declaration file is emitted as part of the Vite library build. TypeScript is not used to compile the application.

+## Contributing
+
+Install dependencies and run the workspace checks from the repository root:
+
+```sh
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm run lint -w @ozio/spicerack
+npm run lint -w @ozio/spicerack-controls
+```
+
+Keep the demo framework-agnostic: it should consume `@ozio/spicerack` as plain JavaScript and should not import Vue or use the Vue Vite plugin.
