Installation & Guide — kenat-ui

kenat-ui is a headless UI utility for building Ethiopian calendar components. It gives you complete control over your UI while handling all the complex logic for you.

Installation

To get started, install kenat-ui from npm:

npm install kenat-ui

This will also install the kenat core library it depends on.

What is Headless UI?

A headless UI library provides logic without rendering. It gives you:

• State management
• Business logic
• Hooks and functions

…but leaves the markup and styling up to you.

Think of it like a powerful backend brain for your calendar UI — you plug in the visuals.

Why Headless?

Headless UI is ideal when you want:

• Full control over your design system (Tailwind, Chakra, custom CSS)
• Reusability across different themes or apps
• Integration with other frameworks or design tokens

kenat-ui lets you build:

• Custom date pickers
• Fully localizable calendar grids
• Language + numeral–aware date logic

Where Can You Use It?

• React + Tailwind apps (perfect fit)
• Component libraries (design system wrappers)
• Internationalized apps with Ethiopian localization needs
• Web or mobile (via React Native wrappers)
