Picostyle

Picostyle is a 0.4 KB CSS-in-JS library for use with frameworks that expose an h function.

Update: Picostyle is now faster by removing JSON.stringify and supports a new css function that returns a class name for Components that support a class attribute property.

Currently tested with:

Installation

Install with npm or Yarn.

npm i picostyle

Then with a module bundler like Rollup or Webpack, use as you would anything else.

import picostyle from "picostyle"

Otherwise, download the latest release or load directly from unpkg or jsDelivr.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/picostyle"></script>

Then find it in window.picostyle.

Usage

Picostyle will work with any framework that exposes an h function. When you pass Picostyle an function h it returns a higher order function (HOF) that you can use exactly like the h you pass it.

Picostyle can now return an object with the style function and a new css fucntion when the new "return object" flag is true

import { h } from "some-framework"
import picostyle from "picostyle"

const style = picostyle(h)

import { h } from "some-framework"
import picostyle from "picostyle"

const returnObject = true
const { style, css } = picostyle(h, returnObject)

The HOF accepts a tag name (or an unstyled component) and returns a function that accepts JSON styles.

// Styled component from tag name
const Wrapper = style("div")({
  minHeight: "100vh",
  background: "#000",
})

// Styling an un-styled component
const Component = (props, text) => h("h1", props, text)
const Text = style(Component)({
  color: "#fff",
})

// Styling a component that supports a class name attribute
const Component = (state) => (
  h("h1",
    { 
      class: css( { color: "#fff" } )
    }
)

If you want to change the style based on the props, you can do it by passing a function, instead of JSON styles.

// Here we set the color of the button, based on the color prop
const Button = style("button")(props => ({
  color: props.color
}))

You can also use @keyframes animation importing keyframes function.

import picostyle, { keyframes } from 'picostyle'

const zoom = keyframes({
  from: {
    transform: 'scale(0.5)'
  },
  to: {
    transform: 'scale(2)'
  },
})

const Container = ps('div')({
  animation: `${zoom} 300ms`,
})

You can now use the styled components to build your app.

const App = h("main", {}, [
  Wrapper({}, Text("Scoping CSS is hard")),
  Wrapper({}, Text("Not with styled components!")),
  Wrapper({color: 'red'}, Button("I'm red!")),
])

Picostyle transforms any provided JSON styles into plain CSS styles and injects them into a style tag in the head of the document; all under unique style identifiers (USI). Each styled component is given a USI as a class name.

Because the output is a stylesheet and not inline styles. You can use all valid CSS in your JSON styles. For example:

Media Queries (@media (orientation: portrait))
Pseudo-element and Pseudo-classes (::before, :hover, :last-child).
Nested child styles (> h1, > *+*)
