Using Snippets

To use a snippet:

Click on a snippet card to view the source code
Copy the relevant HTML, CSS, or component markup
Paste into your project and customize as needed

All snippets follow these conventions:

Tokens: Use --size-* for spacing, --color-* for colors
Layout: Use layout-* custom elements instead of utility classes
Configuration: Use data-* attributes for component options
Progressive Enhancement: Components work without JavaScript first
