Please contact the developers here for questions and support that cannot be addressed via a Github issue.

Developers and Contributors

This library is focused on usage by developers to provide custom React components based on those found in the Steam Deck's React UI.
This method allows developers to add UI elements and code without clobbering the existing UI of the deck in order to do so.
This library can also theoretically be used to extend existing UI elements of the Steam Deck UI but this has not been tested extensively.

Getting Started (Contributors)

  1. Clone the repository to your preferred location
  2. If you wish to add features such as new UI components, please create a feature branch to PR to the original repo.
  3. Bug/hotfixes are acceptable on the main branch,

Getting Started (Developers)

If you would like a feature added to decky-frontend-lib, please request it via a Github issue.

If you want to start making a plugin with decky-frontend-lib, please direct your attention to the decky-plugin-template repository.

This library can be found on npm and as such you can pull it without a local copy for your project as needed.
