react-shed

react-shed is a version of shed.css created specifically with react in mind. It implements shed dynamically using glamorous, modularscale, and pure-color.

INSTALL

in your project: yarn add react-shed

make sure you install the peer dependencies: yarn add react glamorous

in your app root:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'glamorous';
import Shed, {
  createTheme,
  reset,
} from 'react-shed';
import App from 'app';
 
// use `createTheme` to customize colors, typefaces, scale, etc
const TED_THEME = createTheme({
  sizes: 'minor third',
  colors: {
    black: '#111111',
    'gray-dd': '#333333',
    'gray-d': '#666666',
    gray: '#999999',
    'gray-l': '#CCCCCC',
    'gray-ll': '#F6F6F6',
    'white': '#FFFFFF',
    'red': '#E9280B',
  },
  fonts: {
    sans: '"Helvetica Neue Custom", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif',
  },
});
 
render(
  <ThemeProvider theme={TED_THEME}>
    <App />
  </ThemeProvider>,
  document.querySelector('#my-node')
);

USE

now you can build components using shed.css properties:

<Shed
  component="span"
  mx="1"
  c="red"
  d="b"
  w="1/3"
>
  margin-left and margin-right of '1' on your scale, color of red, display
  block, and width 1of3
</Shed>

CAVEATS

• it hard dependency on styled-components. If there's a smaller / better / faster alternative, I'm open to the idea.
• jsx disallows hyphenated property names, so any property that has a hyphen in shed (flx-g for example), becomes the un-hyphenated version of itself (flxg). The value can remain hyphenated.
• it doesn't handle media queries. I recommend react-media.

THE SYNTAX IS UGLY-ISH

I get you. How about something like this?

<div.shed
  bg="black"
>stuff</div.shed>

There's a babel transform for that! babel-plugin-shed enables this sugar. Install it with yarn add -D babel-plugin-shed and add it to your babel configuration.
