January 2026 — Building Blocks
Six new components, a preset switcher, and CLI improvements.
January was mostly about filling in gaps: components that were obviously missing, and quality-of-life improvements to the CLI and docs.
Six new components
Tooltip: hover and focus tooltips, keyboard accessible, anchored with @data-slot/tooltip. Supports all four sides with configurable delay.
Skeleton: loading placeholder that matches your border radius and color tokens. Drop it in anywhere you’re waiting on data.
Collapsible: a simple show/hide toggle built on @data-slot/collapsible. Useful for FAQs, filter panels, anything that needs to expand without a full accordion.
Dropdown Menu: action menu with keyboard navigation, submenus, separators, and checkable items. Uses @data-slot/dropdown-menu.
Navigation Menu: accessible mega-menu for site headers. Built on @data-slot/navigation-menu, supports grouped links, descriptions, and custom trigger content.
Slider: single-value and range sliders built on @data-slot/slider. Default value works correctly out of the box.
Preset Switcher
Theme presets are now surfaced in the header as a tab strip. Switch between presets to quickly evaluate how a design looks in different styles.
CLI improvements
Several fixes landed this month that make the bejamas CLI more reliable in real projects:
docs:check: new command that validates your component docs against the registry. Catches missing exports and broken references before you deploy.- Multi-file registry support: components split across multiple files now install correctly in monorepo setups.
- Auto-generated docs: the CLI can now generate documentation pages directly from component source files, pulling usage blocks and API tables without manual authoring.
- Barrel import fixes: component names are now consistently PascalCase in generated barrel imports, fixing tree-shaking issues in some bundlers.
Docs polish
- Code blocks in component pages are now collapsible. Long examples fold by default, expanding on click.
- The Starlight theme got improved codeblock styling (better terminal aesthetics) and tighter pagination spacing.
- The GitHub link in the header is now dynamic, pointing to the correct source file for the component you’re viewing.
