Shortstyle

CSS written in .(s)css file:

padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-right: 5px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: flex-end;

"helper classes" from Fancy-pancy-css-lib-XYZ (or your own custom helpers):

className="pt10 pb20 pr5 flex-column justify-content-middle alien-items-end"

Shortstyle:

s="p10_5_20_0 xcce"

Shortstyle lets you style in the most susynced way you've ever tried.

It comes with the most common functions: h, w, p, m, ... But you can also define your own functions: sh, q, ...

How it works:

Think of each work in the shortstyle string as a call to a styling function.

"h10" is a call to the function h like so h(10) and h is just height so it's very simple:h = (x) => {height: `${x}px`}

"posa" is a call to pos(a):

const pos = (x) => {
   switch (x) {
      case 'a': return {position: 'absolute'};
      case 'f': return {position: 'fixed'};
      case 'r': return {position: 'relative'};
      case 's': return {position: 'static'};
      default: throw new Error(`pos doesn't support ${x}`);
   }
};

API DOCS

Note that you can customize the unit

Flexbox

Flex is done by 1-7 character each representing a flex property

# Property based    /    String based
x: 'ccew10'                'xccew10'

   flex-direction (r = row, c = column)
   |  justify-content (c = center, e = flex-end, s = flex-start, a = space-around, b = space-between)
   |  |  align-items (c = center, e = flex-end, s = flex-start, b = baseline, t = stretch)
   |  |  |  flex-wrap (w = wrap, r = wrap-reverse)
   |  |  |  |  flex-grow (unit)
   |  |  |  |  |  flex-shrink (unit)
   |  |  |  |  |  |
   v  v  v  v  v  v
x  c  c  e  w  1  0

# Examples:
xccew10 => display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: flex-end; flex-wrap: wrap; flex-grow: 1; flex-shrink: 0;
xcc => display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center;
x__cr => display: flex; align-items: center; flex-wrap: wrap-reverse;

Overridables

Some of the style functions are intended for you to override to get the application-specific behaviour you want.

Font

A font function can typically give the following behaviour

   font-family (eg. t = Times New Roman, a = Arial, ...)
   |  font-size (number unit)
   |  |  color (eg. bk = black, re = red, bu = blue, ...)
   |  |  |  font-weight (eg. number unit * 100)
   |  |  |  |
   |  |  |  |
   |  |  |  |
   v  v  v  v
f  t  5  bu 7

# Examples:
ft5bu7 => font-family: Times; font-size: 1.125rem; color: blue; font-weight: 700;
fa5__2 => font-family: Arial; font-size: 1.125rem; font-weight: 200;
f_9___ => font-size: 1.6rem;
