@amandaguthrie/panda-preset-framework-simplecss

A Panda CSS preset that recreates simple.css. Simple.css is a CSS template that focuses on styling HTML semantic elements without classes to quickly prototype and build simple pages.

This preset makes it easy to generate the styles like simple.css from within Panda CSS while making it your own with configurable color and font tokens.

Configure

In your panda.config.{ts,js} file, import the preset and include it in your presets list. This preset does rely on the default settings of @pandacss/preset-base as a dependency.

!CAUTION It is important to set preflight to false. Simple.css has its own reset and there will be undesirable effects to margins, heading spacing, etc. if preflight is enabled.

!TIP If you don't currently have any presets in your config file, add @pandacss/preset-base to the array.

import { defineConfig } from '@pandacss/dev';
import presetBase from "@pandacss/preset-base";
import simpleCssPreset, { type BreakpointsPresetOptions } from '@amandaguthrie/panda-preset-framework-simplecss';

const simpleCssConfig: SimpleCssPresetOptions = {
  prefix: "simplecss"
};

export default defineConfig({
  preflight: false,
  // ...
  presets: [
    presetBase,
    // ... Other presets
    simpleCssPreset(simpleCssConfig),
  ],
  // ...
});

Function pandaPresetFrameworkSimpleCss

The function pandaPresetFrameworkSimpleCss is the default export which optionally accepts configuration parameters and returns a Panda CSS preset.

Parameters

The parameters for the default export options are exported as type SimpleCssPresetOptions.

• prefix (string, Optional)
  • A prefix to use in conditions, tokens, etc. This prevents conflicts with your other styles.
  • Default: "simplecss"
• colors (Partial<SimpleCssColorConfig>, Optional)
  • A color map to replace default colors with your own.
  • Default: See defaultOptions in src/preset.ts.
• fonts (Partial<SimpleCssFontConfig>, Optional)
  • A font map to replace default fonts with your own.
  • Default:

const fontConfigDefault = {
  mono: { value: ['Consolas', 'Menlo', 'Monaco', 'Andale Mono', 'Ubuntu Mono', 'monospace'] },
  sans: { value: ['-apple-system', 'BlinkMacSystemFont', 'Avenir Next', 'Avenir', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Roboto', 'Noto Sans', 'Segoe UI', 'Arial', 'Helvetica', 'Helvetica Nueue', 'sans-serif',], },
