## 📦 Installation

```bash
# npm
npm install @appletosolutions/reactbits

# yarn
yarn add @appletosolutions/reactbits

# pnpm
pnpm add @appletosolutions/reactbits
```

### Peer Dependencies

ReactBits uses peer dependencies to avoid conflicts and reduce bundle size. Install only what you need:

```bash
# Required for all components
npm install react react-dom

# For 3D components (ModelViewer, Aurora, etc.)
npm install three @react-three/fiber @react-three/drei

# For GSAP-powered animations (Bounce, ScrollReveal, etc.)
npm install gsap

# For physics-based animations (Ballpit, etc.)
npm install matter-js

# For Chakra UI components (optional)
npm install @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled

# For Framer Motion components (optional)
npm install framer-motion
```

### ⚠️ Troubleshooting

**Dependency Resolution Errors**: If you encounter "Could not resolve" errors for dependencies like `matter-js`, `@react-three/fiber`, etc.:

```bash
# Install only the peer dependencies you need
npm install three @react-three/fiber @react-three/drei  # For 3D components
npm install matter-js                                   # For physics components
npm install gsap                                        # For GSAP animations

# Use --legacy-peer-deps if needed
npm install @appletosolutions/reactbits --legacy-peer-deps
```

**Bundle Size Optimization**: ReactBits uses peer dependencies to keep your bundle small:

```bash
# Check what's included in your bundle
npm run build -- --analyze  # For Create React App with bundle analyzer

# Only install dependencies for components you use
npm install gsap              # Only if using GSAP-powered components
npm install three             # Only if using 3D components
```

**TypeScript Errors**: Ensure you have the correct type definitions:

```bash
npm install --save-dev @types/three @types/matter-js
```

**Framework-Specific Issues**:

- **Next.js**: Add to `next.config.js`:
  ```js
  module.exports = {
    transpilePackages: ['@appletosolutions/reactbits']
  }
  ```

- **Vite**: Add to `vite.config.ts`:
  ```js
  export default defineConfig({
    optimizeDeps: {
      include: ['@appletosolutions/reactbits']
    }
  })
  ```

## 🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running in 30 seconds:

```jsx
import { Bounce, ClickSpark, StarBorder } from '@appletosolutions/reactbits';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Bounce animation on mount */}
      <Bounce>
        <h1>Welcome to ReactBits! 🎉</h1>
      </Bounce>

      {/* Interactive click effects */}
      <ClickSpark sparkColor="#ff6b6b" sparkCount={12}>
        <button className="btn-primary">
          Click for sparks! ✨
        </button>
      </ClickSpark>

      {/* Animated border effects */}
      <StarBorder color="#00d4ff" speed="3s">
        <div className="premium-card">
          Premium Feature ⭐
        </div>
      </StarBorder>
    </div>
  );
}
```

**That's it!** No configuration, no setup, just beautiful animations.
