- Primitive styled components for all your layout needs

- Ergonomic responsive array-based values
- Support for component variants
- [Styled System][] props
- Themeable and compatible with the [Theme Specification][]
- Built with [Styled System][]
- Works with [Theme UI][]
- Built with Emotion, with support for Styled Components

## Getting Started

```sh
npm i reflexbox
```

```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { Flex, Box } from 'reflexbox'

export default props =>
  <Flex flexWrap='wrap'>
    <Box
      width={[ 1, 1/2 ]}
      p={3}>
      Reflex
    </Box>
    <Box
      width={[ 1, 1/2 ]}
      p={3}>
      Box
    </Box>
  </Flex>
```

### `sx` Prop

The `Box` and `Flex` components both accept a `sx` prop that works with no additional setup required.
The `sx` prop is similar to Emotion's `css` prop, but allows you to use values derived from the theme object.

Reflexbox follows the [Theme Specification][], which means that any theme created for use with [Theme UI][], [Styled System][], or other similar libraries will work out-of-the-box.
This allows you to share design constraints for typography, color, and layout throughout your application using a theming context.

```jsx
<Box
  sx={{
    p: 4,
    color: 'primary',
  }}
/>
```

Note: to opt-out of theme-based styles, use the `css` prop instead, which will not transform values.

## Theming

Because Reflexbox follows the [Theme Specification][], all themes built for use with [Styled System][], [Theme UI][], or other related libraries are compatible with Reflexbox.

To add a theme to an application, import the `ThemeProvider` component from `emotion-theming` and pass a custom theme object in.

```sh
npm i emotion-theming
```

```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { ThemeProvider } from 'emotion-theming'
import { Flex, Box } from 'reflexbox'

const theme = {
  breakpoints: [
    '40em', '52em', '64em',
  ],
  colors: {
    text: '#000',
    background: '#fff',
    primary: '#07c',
  },
  space: [
    0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256,
  ],
}

export default props =>
  <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
    <Box
      sx={{
        p: 4,
        bg: 'primary',
      }}>
      Hello
    </Box>
  </ThemeProvider>
```

For use with [Theme UI][], use `gatsby-plugin-theme-ui` or import the Theme UI `ThemeProvider` instead.

```js
import { ThemeProvider } from 'theme-ui'
```

## Variants

Reflexbox components also accept a `variant` prop, which allows you to define commonly used styles,
such as cards, badges, and CSS grid layouts, in your theme object for reuse.

Add a `variants` object to your theme and include any variants as style objects. These styles can reference other values in your theme such as colors, typographic styles, and more.

```js
// example theme
export default {
  colors: {
    text: '#000',
    background: '#fff',
    primary: '#07c',
  },
  radii: {
    default: 4,
  },
  shadows: {
    card: '0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, .125)',
  },
  variants: {
    card: {
      p: 3,
      borderRadius: 'default',
      bg: 'white',
      boxShadow: 'card',
    },
    badge: {
      color: 'white',
      bg: 'primary',
      p: 1,
      borderRadius: 'default',
    },
  },
}
```

To apply a variant to your component, pass the name to the `variant` prop.

```jsx
<Box variant='card'>Card</Box>
<Box variant='badge'>Badge</Box>
```

## Responsive Styles

Use array values to quickly and ergonomically add mobile-first responsive styles to specific properties.
This works on all style props and the `sx` prop.
See the [Styled System][] docs for more.

```jsx
// 100% width at the smallest viewport width
// 50% width at the next breakpoint
// 25% width at the next breakpoint
<Box width={[ '100%', '50%', '25%' ]} />
```

You can customize the widths used for each breakpoint by defining a `theme.breakpoints` array in your theme.
