# Mantine UI Library

Mantine is a fully-featured React components library with TypeScript support. It provides 100+ hooks and components with native dark mode, CSS-in-JS via CSS modules, and excellent accessibility.

## v9.0 Breaking Changes

- **React 19.2+** required for all `@mantine/*` packages
- **Tiptap 3+** required for `@mantine/tiptap`
- **Recharts 3+** required for `@mantine/charts` (no migration needed)
- Follow the official [8.x → 9.x migration guide](https://mantine.dev/changelog/9-0-0/) for full details

## Focus

This skill focuses on:

- **Vite** + **TypeScript** setup (not Next.js or CRA)
- CSS modules with PostCSS preset
- Vitest for testing
- ESLint with eslint-config-mantine

## Installation

See `references/getting-started.md` for Vite template setup, manual installation, and optional packages.

## PostCSS Configuration

Create `postcss.config.cjs`:

```js
module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    "postcss-preset-mantine": {},
    "postcss-simple-vars": {
      variables: {
        "mantine-breakpoint-xs": "36em",
        "mantine-breakpoint-sm": "48em",
        "mantine-breakpoint-md": "62em",
        "mantine-breakpoint-lg": "75em",
        "mantine-breakpoint-xl": "88em",
      },
    },
  },
};
```

## App Setup

```tsx
// src/App.tsx
import "@mantine/core/styles.css";
// Other style imports as needed:
// import '@mantine/dates/styles.css';
// import '@mantine/notifications/styles.css';

import { MantineProvider, createTheme } from "@mantine/core";

const theme = createTheme({
  // Theme customization here
});

function App() {
  return <MantineProvider theme={theme}>{/* Your app */}</MantineProvider>;
}
```

## Critical Prohibitions

- Do NOT skip MantineProvider wrapper — all components require it
- Do NOT forget to import `@mantine/core/styles.css` — components won't style without it
- Do NOT mix Mantine with other UI libraries (e.g., Chakra, MUI) in same project
- Do NOT use inline styles for theme values — use CSS variables or theme object
- Do NOT skip PostCSS setup — responsive mixins won't work
- Do NOT forget `key={form.key('path')}` when using uncontrolled forms

## Core Concepts

### 1. MantineProvider

Wraps your app, provides theme context and color scheme management.

### 2. Theme Object

Customize colors, typography, spacing, component default props.

### 3. Style Props

All components accept style props like `mt`, `p`, `c`, `bg`, etc.

### 4. CSS Variables

All theme values exposed as CSS variables (e.g., `--mantine-color-blue-6`).

### 5. Polymorphic Components

Many components support `component` prop to render as different elements.

## Definition of Done

- [ ] MantineProvider wraps the app
- [ ] Styles imported (`@mantine/core/styles.css`)
- [ ] PostCSS configured with mantine-preset
- [ ] Theme customization in createTheme
- [ ] Color scheme (light/dark) handled
- [ ] TypeScript types working
- [ ] Tests pass with Vitest + custom render
