stencil-plugin-tss v2.0.1
stencil-plugin-tss
Repo based on @stencil/sass
This package is used to transpile .ts
files to css styles. It is optimized for a Stencil build, but may work in other environments too.
First, npm install within the project:
npm install stencil-plugin-tss --save-dev
Next, within the project's rollup.config.js
or stencil.config.js
file, import the plugin and add it to the config's plugins
config:
stencil.config.ts
import { Config } from '@stencil/core';
import { tss } from 'stencil-plugin-tss';
export const config: Config = {
plugins: [tss(options)]
};
The plugin will start transpiling .ts
files as soon as it is initialized. The transpiled files will be read by the transform hook to generate css styles.
Options
options.logCssErrors boolean, default: true
This will toggle the output of debugging information. There'll be hints displayed in the console if the compiled styles are faulty.
options.tempFolder string, default: "./node_modules/.tssTemp"
Specify a folder in which to output transpiled .ts
files. There'll be cjs modules generated into this folder - this is
not the final output of the plugin and will be deleted in the generateBundle
hook.
options.stylesGlob string, default: "**/*.styles.ts"
Pass a glob that resolves to every .ts
file you want to use as styles.
options.rootDir string, default: process.cwd()
Will be used as root for globbing.
options.outputGenerator function, default: output to stencil inMemory fs
Pass a function to specify what to do with the transformation results.
Function signature: (fileName: string, results: d.PluginTransformResults, context?: any) => Promise<any>
Context will be the stencil context object passed to the transform hook.
Default function looks like this:
async (fileName, results, context) => {
if (context) {
return context.fs
.writeFile(results.id, results.code, {
inMemoryOnly: true
})
.catch((err: any) => {
console.error(err);
loadDiagnostic(context, err, fileName);
results.code = `/** ts-style error${
err && err.message ? ': ' + err.message : ''
} **/`;
return results;
});
}
return Promise.resolve();
}
Code Highlighting
For better usability install styled component plugin within your IDE:
You can then use:
import { styled } from "stencil-plugin-tss"
And prefix all your template literal CSS strings with styled
to get CSS highlighting and IntelliSense.
HMR
For better hot-module-reloading currently the stencil compiler has to be modified slightly.
Run: node node_modules/stencil-plugin-tss/rewriteStencil.js
This will do the necessary modifications. I will open a feature-request in the official Stencil project to make this configurable.
