+
+This project is set up as a library of Vue 3 components written in TypeScript.
+
+## Development
+
+- Add your components in the src folder.
+- Build the library with: npm run build
+
+## Usage
+
+After publishing, install via npm and register the library as a Vue plugin:
+  import { createApp } from 'vue'
+  import MyLibrary from 'your-library-name'
+  import App from './App.vue'
+
+  const app = createApp(App);
+  app.use(MyLibrary);
+  app.mount('#app');
+EOF
+
+echo "Setup complete!"
+echo "Next steps:"
+echo "1. Customize your component(s) in the src folder."
+echo "2. Run 'npm run build' to build distributable files into the dist folder."
+echo "3. Publish your package to npm as desired."
