CRATE // NEXT

Setup Guide

One-time setup for using CRATE // NEXT components. Add these to your project, then copy any component from the theme.

1
Install dependencies

The cn() utility combines clsx and tailwind-merge for conditional class names. Install both packages.

BASH
npm install clsx tailwind-merge
2
Add utility function

Create lib/utils.ts with the cn() helper. Every component imports this for class name merging.

TS
import { type ClassValue, clsx } from 'clsx'
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'

export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]): string {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
}
3
Add design tokens

Add the CRATE // NEXT design tokens to your globals.css. These define colors, fonts, and animation tokens used by every component in the theme.

CSS
@theme {
  /* ── Palette ── */
  --color-kraft:           #c4a882;
  --color-kraft-light:     #d9c4a5;
  --color-kraft-dark:      #a68960;
  --color-kraft-deep:      #8b6f47;
  --color-cardboard:       #e8d5b7;
  --color-cardboard-light: #f2e6d0;
  --color-ink:             #2a1f14;
  --color-ink-light:       #4a3928;
  --color-ink-faded:       #6b5a45;
  --color-accent:          #E85D26;
  --color-accent-light:    #f17a4a;
  --color-tape:            #f5e6c8;
  --color-tape-border:     #d4c4a0;
  --color-white:           #faf6f0;
  --color-stamp-red:       #c0392b;

  /* ── Fonts ── */
  --font-display: 'Archivo Black', sans-serif;
  --font-body:    'DM Sans', sans-serif;

  /* ── Radius (zero everywhere) ── */
  --radius-sm: 0px;
  --radius-md: 0px;
  --radius-lg: 0px;

  /* ── Shadows ── */
  --shadow-float: 0 14px 40px rgba(42, 31, 20, 0.18), 0 4px 12px rgba(42, 31, 20, 0.1);
  --shadow-soft:  0 8px 24px rgba(42, 31, 20, 0.12);
  --shadow-deep:  0 20px 60px rgba(42, 31, 20, 0.22), 0 8px 20px rgba(42, 31, 20, 0.14);
}
4
Add component styles

Each component may need its own CSS classes in your globals.css. Copy the styles for the components you use.
