Composables
useXCards
Returns the deep-merged design token configuration for all XCard components — colors, fonts, radius, spacing, defaults, and brand.
useXCards
Reads appConfig.x.cards and deep-merges it over built-in defaults using defu. Returns the full XCardsConfig object consumed by every XCard* component. Use it in your own components or pages to read design tokens and stay in sync with the layer's configuration.
Usage
const config = useXCards()
// Examples
config.colors.primary // "cream"
config.defaults.filter // "cinematic"
config.fonts.serif // "'Playfair Display', ..."
config.brand.appName // "My Brand"
config.spacing.baseUnit // 4

AI Context
composable: useXCards
package: "@xenterprises/nuxt-x-cards"
use-when: >
Reading design tokens at runtime inside a custom component that should
stay aligned with the nuxt-x-cards configuration. All built-in XCard*
components call this internally to source their colors, fonts, radius,
spacing, and defaults. Consumer overrides in app.config.ts under x.cards
are automatically reflected here via defu deep-merge — no manual syncing
needed. Use config.defaults.filter to read the configured image filter
default, or config.colors.accents.gold to read the accent gold value.
