## When to use

- The principal creation action on an Android screen.

## When not to

- Several equally prominent actions on one screen.

## Install

**React package.** Precompiled; no compiler to configure.

```sh
npm install @noorddev/vlak-react
```

```tsx
import "@noorddev/vlak-react/css";
import { AndroidFab } from "@noorddev/vlak-react";
```

**Vendor the source.** The StyleX leaf lands in `components/vlak/` for your compiler to own.

```sh
npx @noorddev/vlak-cli add android-fab
```

**shadcn registry.** Same files, through the shadcn CLI.

```sh
npx shadcn add https://vlak.dev/r/android-fab.json
```

**CSS only.** `rs-*` classes on plain markup, styled by `@noorddev/vlak/css`.

```html
<button class="rs-android-fab rs-android-fab-extended" type="button"><span class="rs-android-fab-icon" aria-hidden="true">+</span>New document</button>
```

## Example

```tsx
import { AndroidFab, Icon } from "@noorddev/vlak-react";

<AndroidFab icon={<Icon name="plus" size={24} />} onClick={createDocument}>New document</AndroidFab>
```
