@hungry/sassy-react-component NPM

`sassy-react-component`

Allow to define BEM like attributes on your react components. There is no need to used className attribute or concatenate styles at all - all magic happen inside.

Real world example @hungry/bulma-element.

Why

one way to define any sass component for react with type-checking
improve soundness and correctness of defined components with easy ability to detect changes between sass and typescript (to catch bug easily)
creating styled-component from scratch is ok when you starting green field project but for me it is not necessary effort since there is a lot of sass frameworks out there ready for modification, so sass framework provide a base component and styled-components some context related overriding with correct isolation.

Implementation details

This is high order component to wrap typings and css modules and provide them as BEM-ish component. There are two variants, one based on styled-components second one, on simple html primitives.

Examples

Usage

    <Button 
      isActive        // button property 
      isDanger        // button property 
      hasTextWarning  // modifiers property
      as="section"    // styled-component property
    />

    <Button 
      p={10}          // styled-system property
      m={1}           // styled-system property
      isWarning       // button property 
      isLoading       // button property 
    />

Implementation

Button - `single component`

// styled-components are used to define primitives
import styled from 'styled-components'

// apply styled-system features - handling padding, margins
import {
  styledWithVariants,
  toStyledGenericFromStringOrJSX,
  toStyledGenericFromStyledFunction
} from '@hungry/sassy-react-component'

// bulma modifiers helpers to make modifiers reachable from button perspective
import { WithModifiers, combineCSSWithModifiers } from './modifiers'

// css-modules
import CSS, { BEM } from './Button.sass'

// make styles lookup for bulma-modifiers and button - "Cascading"SS augmentation
const withEmbeddedVariants =
  styledWithVariants<WithModifiers<BEM>>(
    combineCSSWithModifiers(CSS))

// define BEM blocks factory with lookup attached
export const makeButton = withEmbeddedVariants('button')

// provide specific implementation by wrapping styled-component primitive
export const Button = makeButton(
  toStyledGenericFromStringOrJSX('button'))

export const SubmitButton = makeButton(
  toStyledGenericFromStyledFunction(
    styled
      .button
      .attrs({ type: 'submit' })))

Notification - `compound component`

import {
  styledWithVariants,
  toStyledGenericFromStringOrJSX,
  div
} from '@hungry/sassy-react-component'

import { combineCSSWithModifiers, WithModifiers } from './modifiers'

import CSS, { BEM } from './Notification.sass'

const asBulmaVariant =
  styledWithVariants<WithModifiers<BEM >>(
    combineCSSWithModifiers(CSS))

const Block =
  asBulmaVariant('notification')
    (div)

const DeleteButton =
  asBulmaVariant('button', 'isDelete', 'delete')
    (toStyledGenericFromStringOrJSX('button'))

const Title =
  asBulmaVariant('title')
    (div)

const Subtitle =
  asBulmaVariant('subtitle')
    (div)

const Content =
  asBulmaVariant('content')
    (div)

export const Notification = {
  Block,
  DeleteButton,
  Title,
  Subtitle,
  Content
}

`styled-system` support

To provide some basic css alteration, like changing padding or margin, you can leverage styled-system integration. sassy-react-component comes with basic support from styled-system and enables following properties space, fontSize, fontWeight, lineHeight, border, borderRadius, width, minHeight, minWidth.

If you encounter some performance issues

It happen to me when I was rendering bulma-calendar even with withMemo enabled, so if there is no need to make any runtime modification you can make fully static component, to do so, instead of using styledWithVariants go with staticWithVariants function instead.
