typestyle-extensions

Useful extension and helper functions to make your TypeStyle experience better

What does this provide that out-of-the-box TypeStyle does not?

A single entry-point for defining your CSS-in-JS rules
Ability to create styles similar to jss or @material-ui's styling solution
Friendly common-case media query handling for your styles with easy to use syntax
Ability to use generated CSS class names in deeply-nested parent / child styling relationships

Prerequisites

Has a peer dependency on typestyle@^2.0.2 (does not provide its own copy of typestyle)

Installation

npm install typestyle-extensions --save

Usage

Basic Usage

import { createStyles } from 'typestyle-extensions';

const styles = createStyles({
  icon: {
    fontSize: '1em',
    height: '1em',
    width: '1em',
  },
  myButton: {
    $nest: {
      '&:hover': {
        $nest: {
          '& > $icon': { // Use the generated classname for "icon" here in a nested selector
            color: 'pink',
          },
        },
        backgroundColor: 'blue',
        color: 'white',
      },
    },
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    border: '1px solid blue',
    color: 'blue',
  },
});

// Your React component
const MyComponent = () => (
  <button className={styles.myButton}>
    <svg className={styles.icon}>{ /*...*/ }</svg>
  </button>
);

export default MyComponent;

Media Queries

import { createStyles, mediaQueries } from 'typestyle-extensions';

const styles = createStyles({
  appWrapper: {
    $mediaQueries: [
      mediaQueries.widthDown('md', {
        right: 0,
        '-webkit-overflow-scrolling': 'touch',
      }),
      mediaQueries.widthUp('lg', {
        backgroundColor: 'red', // make my app super ugly on large desktop screens!
      }),
    ],
    bottom: 0,
    left: 0,
    position: 'fixed,
    right: '20rem',
    top: 0,
  },
});

Out of the box, typestyle-extensions makes some generalized assumptions about browser widths and sets the following breakpoint sizes (by default):

  sm: 600;
  md: 960;
  lg: 1280;
  xl: 1920;

If you would like to set your own sizes, you can do so via the setBreakpointSizes(sizes) function. This must be done before you use the widthDown or widthUp helper functions
