Zero-runtime Stylesheets-in-TypeScript.
Write your styles in TypeScript (or JavaScript) with locally scoped class names and CSS Variables, then generate static CSS files at build time.
Basically, it’s “CSS Modules-in-TypeScript” but with scoped CSS Variables + heaps more.
@keyframes
and @font-face
rules.
calc
expressions.
Write your styles in .css.ts
files.
// styles.css.ts
import { createTheme, style } from '@ygorconfig/css';
export const [themeClass, vars] = createTheme({
color: {
brand: 'blue'
},
font: {
body: 'arial'
}
});
export const exampleStyle = style({
backgroundColor: vars.color.brand,
fontFamily: vars.font.body,
color: 'white',
padding: 10
});
💡 Once you've configured your build tooling, these.css.ts
files will be evaluated at build time. None of the code in these files will be included in your final bundle. Think of it as using TypeScript as your preprocessor instead of Sass, Less, etc.
Then consume them in your markup.
// app.ts
import { themeClass, exampleStyle } from './styles.css.ts';
document.write(`
<section class="${themeClass}">
<h1 class="${exampleStyle}">Hello world!</h1>
</section>
`);
