# Stylin
Stylin is a build-time CSS library that offers an elegant way to style React components. It extends CSS Modules and adds some missing features like dynamic variables or auto-typing.
There is no faster way to create styled & typed React component.
```jsx
import {Title} from './styles.scss'
// crazy part, importing 👆 component from styles
Hello world!
```
#### 💅 `style.scss`
```scss
/**
@tag: h1
@component: Title
size: small | medium | large
color: #38383d --color
*/
.title {
--color: #38383d;
color: var(--color);
font-size: 18px;
&.small {
font-size: 14px;
margin: 2px 0;
}
&.medium {
font-size: 18px;
margin: 4px 0;
}
&.large {
font-size: 20px;
margin: 6px 0;
}
}
```
#### 🧙♂️ `Type auto-generation`
All the magic is behind the style annotations, which you can find in the comment section. It is like JSDoc, but for CSS. However, it is not a CSSDoc. It is more about mapping styles with component properties.
With the annotations you can:
- map styles with components
- generate TypeScript types
- generate documents or even stories for StoryBook
For all these, you will need a specific package, plugin, or webpack loader.
## Demo
✨ [Online demo](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/sultan99/cards/tree/main)
✨ [Github repo](https://github.com/sultan99/cards)
## Get started
The core library:
```sh
npm install @stylin/style
npm install --save-dev @stylin/msa-loader
```
Then you should add the loader in your webpack configs files:
- [MSA loader](./packages/msa-loader/README.md)
- [TypeScript loader (optional)](./packages/ts-loader/README.md)
Check out the 📺[video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF4vBx-ImzE) for more information on how to install and set up.

## Diving deeper
Don't be scared to learn new stuff, it is deadly simple. Only three things to remember:
1) @tag: html tag
2) @component: name of your component
3) Mapping object:
```
componentPropertyName {
propertyValue: css-class-name
anotherPropertyValue: another-css
}
```
For example:
```scss
/**
@tag: button
@component: SexyButton
type {
primary: btn-primary
secondary: bnt-secondary
link: btn-link
}
*/
.sexy-button {
&.btn-primary {
/* some styles */
}
&.btn-secondary {
/* some styles */
}
&.btn-link {
/* some styles
*/}
}
```
```jsx
Love me
/* HTML output:
//in fact, it will have hashed css class names
Love me
*/
```
Done! That is all about to know! 🎉🥳
Now you are the PRO 😎. Update your resume with a new skill!
## Shortening
Here are [some tips](./packages/style/README.md) to make life easier.
If your component property values are similar to CSS class names, like in the example below:
```
type {
primary: primary
secondary: secondary
link: link
}
```
It can be shorten this way:
```
type: primary | secondary | link
```

## Development plans
1) Support Next.js.
2) Support React-like libraries (preact etc.).
