 # Prez UI
+Prez UI is the front end of [Prez](https://github.com/RDFLib/prez) - a linked data API - and is a suite of packages to interact with and render RDF in JavaScript.
 
-The new structure is as follows:
-- docs: will contain install instructions, how to use, etc.
-- examples: will contain a few different use cases of using the various libraries
-- packages
-    - `prez-lib`: the JS library containing RDF processing logic
-    - `prez-components`: the Vue component library
-    - `prez-ui`: the base Nuxt application
-    - `create-prez-app`: a NPX starter template for initialising a Prez UI theme

-## How do I decide what to use?
+## Running Prez UI
+There are several ways to use Prez UI's suite of features. The most common way to run Prez UI is by creating a 'themed' instance using `create-prez-app`. You can do so by running:
+
+```bash
+npx create-prez-app@latest <project_name>
+```
+_(Note: for pnpm, run `pnpm dlx` instead of `npx`)_
+
+See the included README in the starter template from the above command, or the [theming documentation](./docs/theming.md) for more information on how to get started.
+
+For other use cases, see the below packages that are available.
+
+## Packages
+Prez UI is comprised of 4 NPM packages:
+- [`prez-lib`](./packages/prez-lib/): the JavaScript library containing RDF processing logic
+- [`prez-components`](./packages/prez-components/): the [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) component library
+- [`prez-ui`](./packages/prez-ui/): the base layer [Nuxt](https://nuxt.com/) application
+- [`create-prez-app`](./packages/create-prez-app/): the NPX starter template for initialising a Prez UI theme

+
+### Writing Components for Overriding
+To support deep overriding of components in Nuxt layers, components in this library need their prop type declared in `types.ts`, and any child component dependencies in the component library need to be declared in a `components` object in the props:
+
+```typescript
+// types.ts
+export interface MyComponentProps {
+    // your prop types here
+    _components?: {
+        childComponent: Component,
+    };
+};
+```
+
+Using these child components must be done dynamically with defaults:
+
+```vue
+// src/components/MyComponent.vue
+<script lang="ts" setup>
+import { MyComponentProps } from "@/types";
+import childComponent from "./ChildComponent.vue";
+
+const props = withDefaults(defineProps<MyComponentProps>(), {
+    _components: () => {
+        return {
+            childComponent: ChildComponent,
+        }
+    }
+});
+</script>
+
+<template>
+    <component :is="props._components.childComponent" />
+</template>

 See the [theming documentation](https://github.com/rdflib/prez-ui/blob/main/docs/theming.md) on how to customise your Prez UI theme.
+
+## Developing Prez UI
+### Install & Run
+
+Run in the project root:
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+For running prez-ui, *ensure you build the workspace dependencies first* - prez-lib and prez-components. The you can run in the prez-ui directory:
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### Re-exporting `prez-components` Components in `prez-ui`
+For supporting deep overrides in extending Prez UI's base layer, any components that are made available to Nuxt from the `prez-components` component library must be re-exported in `prez-ui/components/` in the following way:
+
+```vue
+<script lang="ts" setup>
+import { Literal, type LiteralProps } from "prez-components";
+
+const props = defineProps<LiteralProps>();
+const term = resolveComponent("Term") as Component;
+</script>
+
+<template>
+    <Literal v-bind="props" :_components="{term}">
+        <template #default="slotProps"><slot v-bind="slotProps" /></template>
+        <template #text="slotProps"><slot name="text" v-bind="slotProps" /></template>
+        <template #language="slotProps"><slot name="language" v-bind="slotProps" /></template>
+        <template #datatype="slotProps"><slot name="datatype" v-bind="slotProps" /></template>
+    </Literal>
+</template>
+
+```
+
+This takes advantage of Nuxt's auto-importing to allow for dependant components to be overridden in layer themes automatically. For example, consider the following component structure:
+
+```vue
+// ComponentA.vue
+
+<template>
+    <ComponentB />
+<template>
+```
+
+```vue
+// ComponentB.vue
+
+<template>
+    <ComponentC />
+<template>
+```
+
+```vue
+// ComponentC.vue
+
+<template>
+    Component C's base content
+<template>
+```
+
+If `ComponentC` was overridden in a theme, ComponentB and ComponentA will render using the new component without having to be overridden themselves.
