## Quick Start

`dockview` is the JavaScript package. Using a framework? Install the
matching bindings instead: [`dockview-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockview-react),
[`dockview-vue`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockview-vue) or
[`dockview-angular`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockview-angular).

Install from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockview):

```
npm install dockview
```

Import the stylesheet:

```css
@import 'dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css';
```

Create a dockview instance:

```ts
import { DockviewComponent } from 'dockview';

const element = document.getElementById('app');

const dockview = new DockviewComponent(element, {
    createComponent: (options) => {
        switch (options.name) {
            case 'my-component':
                return {
                    init: (params) => {
                        params.containerElement.textContent = 'Hello World';
                    },
                };
        }
    },
});

dockview.addPanel({
    id: 'panel_1',
    component: 'my-component',
});
```

Apply a theme by adding a theme class (e.g. `dockview-theme-dark`) to a parent element.

See the [documentation](https://dockview.dev) for full examples.
