Destijl NPM | npm.io

Overview

De Stijl is a very thin layer on top of Glamor to provide a preferred way of working with css in React. It scopes de-duplicates and prefixes css, and allows hovers, media queries and psuedo selectors.

Quick start

yarn add --dev destijl
import { Style, Styling } from "destijl";

Write inline styles using the Style function. You can optionally add hovers, media queries and psuedo css selectors. Then, use them in a React component. Every html tag now accepts a css property that you can use to set the style directly on any html element.

const style = Style({ border: "1px solid red" });

style.hover({ border: "1px solid green" });

const tree = <div css={style} />;

Use the Styling tag in your html head, which generates the css for all the children.

const Template = props => {
  return (
    <html>
      <head>
        <Styling body={props.children} />
      </head>
      <body>{props.children}</body>
    </html>
  );
};

Why is it great?

It provide a very natural way for designers to write css.
It allows for hovers, media queries and psuedo selectors, unlike inline css.
It relies on TypeScript types to assist with writing css.
By relying on Glamor, it scopes, de-duplicates and prefixes css, avoiding many common errors.
