Install
npm install cxsUsage
cxs works with any framework, but this example uses React for demonstration purposes.
import React from 'react'
import cxs from 'cxs'
const Box = (props) => {
return (
<div {...props} className={className} />
)
}
const className = cxs({
padding: '32px',
backgroundColor: 'tomato'
})
export default BoxPseudoclasses
const className = cxs({
color: 'tomato',
':hover': {
color: 'black'
}
})Media Queries
const className = cxs({
fontSize: '32px',
'@media screen and (min-width: 40em)': {
fontSize: '48px'
}
})Child Selectors
const className = cxs({
color: 'black',
' > a': {
color: 'tomato'
}
})Static/Server-Side Rendering
For Node.js environments, use the css() method to return the static CSS string after rendering a view.
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server'
import cxs from 'cxs'
import App from './App'
const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(<App />)
const css = cxs.css()
const doc = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>${css}</style>
${html}
`
// Reset the cache for the next render
cxs.reset()Note: cxs does not currently have a mechanism for rehydrating styles on the client, so use with caution in universal JavaScript applications.
React Components
cxs also has an alternative higher order component API for creating styled React components, similar to the styled-components API.
import cxs from 'cxs/component'
const Heading = cxs('h1')({
margin: 0,
fontSize: '32px',
lineHeight: 1.25
})Extending components
To extend a cxs component, pass it to the component creator function.
const Button = cxs('button')({
color: 'white',
backgroundColor: 'blue'
})
const TomatoButton = cxs(Button)({
backgroundColor: 'tomato'
})Other components
Any component can be passed to cxs to add styles.
import { Link } from 'react-router'
const MyLink = cxs(Link)({
color: 'tomato'
})Note: components must accept className as a prop to work with cxs.
Functional styles
cxs components can also handle dynamic styling based on props by passing a function as an argument
const Heading = cxs('h1')(props => ({
color: props.color
}))Removing style props
To remove style props from the rendered HTML element,
use the prop-types package to define propTypes on a component.
cxs/component will remove any prop that matches a key from the propTypes object.
import cxs from 'cxs/component'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
const Heading = cxs('h2')(props => ({
fontSize: props.big ? '48px' : '32px'
}))
Heading.propTypes = {
big: PropTypes.bool
}styled-system
Style utility functions, like those in styled-system, can be used with cxs/component.
import cxs from 'cxs/component'
import {
space,
color
} from 'styled-system'
const Heading = cxs('h2')(space, color)Theming
Theming is supported with the <ThemeProvider> component.
import React from 'react'
import ThemeProvider from 'cxs/ThemeProvider'
import theme from './theme'
const App = props => (
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<Heading>
Hello
</Heading>
</ThemeProvider>
)import cxs from 'cxs/component'
const Heading = cxs('h2')(props => ({
fontSize: props.theme.fontSizes[4] + 'px',
color: props.theme.blue
}))API
cxs(...styles)
Accepts styles objects or functions that return style objects and returns a className string.
cxs.css()
Returns the rendered CSS string for static and server-side rendering.
cxs.reset()
Resets the cache for server-side rendering
cxs/component
A styled-components-like API for creating React components with cxs.
Vendor prefixes
cxs does not handle vendor prefixing to keep the module size at a minimum.
