Styles and Themes

The package provides a set of CSS styles and themes primarily intended for my personal use. You are free to use it in your own projects, but I will not be accepting pull requests or issues requesting changes to this part of the library.

Styles

To use the styles, you need to import the CSS file into your project.

/* JavaScript */
import '@spuxx/browser-utils/styles';
/* CSS */
@import '@spuxx/browser-utils/styles';

Use with native HTML elements

After importing the CSS file, you can use any of the included styles directly in your HTML. You can look up all available styles in src/styles.

<div class="spx spx-container">
  <button class="spx spx-button" spx-color="gradient" spx-variant="outlined">Click me</button>
</div>

Use with @spuxx/solid

However, the styles are primarily intended for use with SolidJS and my @spuxx/solid library. If you use that library, you simply need to import the styles into your project. Components provided by that library will automatically use the styles.

import '@spuxx/browser-utils/styles.css';
import { Button } from '@spuxx/solid';


export default function App() {
  return (
    <Button color="gradient" variant="outlined">
      Click me
    </Button>
  );
}

Themes

To use the themes, you need to import the CSS file into your project.

/* JavaScript */
import '@spuxx/browser-utils/themes';
/* CSS */
@import '@spuxx/browser-utils/themes';

Built-in Themes

The library comes with two built-in themes, default and light. Both themes are based on Tailwind’s color palette (also see tailwindcolor.com).

You may override each of those themes by creating a CSS file and overwriting any of the variables:

html,
html *,
* {
  /* Overwrite default theme variables */
}


html[spx-theme='light'],
html[spx-theme='light'] *,
*[spx-theme='light'] {
  /* Overwrite light theme variables */
}

Custom Themes

You can also create your own custom themes by creating a CSS file and overwriting any of the variables:

html[spx-theme='my-theme'],
html[spx-theme='my-theme'] *,
*[spx-theme='my-theme'] {
  /* Overwrite any of the default theme variables */
}

🛈 Note: You do not need to overwrite all of the variables. You can only overwrite the ones you want to change.

You may then import your custom theme into your project:

/* JavaScript */
import './themes/my-theme.css';
/* CSS */
@import './themes/my-theme.css';

You may then use your theme by setting the spx-theme attribute on the html element:

<html spx-theme="my-theme">
  ...
</html>

Theme individual components

Themes are usually applied to the entire document (by setting the spx-theme attribute on the html element). However, you can also apply a theme to individual components.

To do this, you can use the spx-theme attribute on the element itself.

<div spx-theme="my-theme">...</div>

Variables and Types

The library also provides a set of variables and types for use with TypeScript. They can help you use the styles correctly and in a type-safe manner. You can find them here.
