## Why Devup UI?

**Devup UI isn't just another CSS-in-JS library — it's the next evolution.**

Traditional CSS-in-JS solutions force you to choose between developer experience and performance. Devup UI eliminates this trade-off entirely by processing all styles at build time using a Rust-powered preprocessor.

- **Complete Syntax Coverage**: Every CSS-in-JS pattern you know — variables, conditionals, responsive arrays, pseudo-selectors — all fully supported
- **Familiar API**: `styled()` API compatible with styled-components and Emotion patterns
- **True Zero Runtime**: No JavaScript execution for styling at runtime. Period.
- **Smallest Bundle Size**: Optimized class names (`a`, `b`, ... `aa`, `ab`) minimize CSS output
- **Fastest Build Times**: Rust + WebAssembly delivers unmatched preprocessing speed

## Install

```sh
npm install @devup-ui/react

# on next.js
npm install @devup-ui/next-plugin

# on vite
npm install @devup-ui/vite-plugin

# on rsbuild
npm install @devup-ui/rsbuild-plugin

# on webpack
npm install @devup-ui/webpack-plugin
```

## Features

- **Preprocessor** — All CSS extraction happens at build time
- **Zero Config** — Works out of the box with sensible defaults
- **Zero FOUC** — No flash of unstyled content, no Provider required
- **Zero Runtime** — No client-side JavaScript for styling
- **RSC Support** — Full React Server Components compatibility
- **Library Mode** — Build component libraries with extracted styles
- **Dynamic Themes** — Zero-cost theme switching via CSS variables
- **Type-Safe Themes** — Full TypeScript support for theme tokens
- **Smallest & Fastest** — Proven by benchmarks

## How it works

Devup UI transforms your components at build time. Class names are generated using a compact base-37 encoding for minimal CSS size.

**Basic transformation:**

```tsx
// You write:
const variable =

// Devup UI generates:
const variable =

// With CSS:
// .a { background-color: red; }
// .b { padding: 1rem; }
// .c:hover { background-color: blue; }
```

**Dynamic values become CSS variables:**

```tsx
// You write:
const example =

// Devup UI generates:
const example =

// With CSS:
// .a { background-color: var(--a); }
```

**Complex expressions and responsive arrays — fully supported:**

```tsx
// You write:
const example =

// Devup UI generates:
const example = (


)

// With responsive CSS for each breakpoint
```

**Type-safe theming:**

`devup.json`

```json
{
"theme": {
"colors": {
"default": {
"primary": "#0070f3",
"text": "#000"
},
"dark": {
"primary": "#3291ff",
"text": "#fff"
}
},
"typography": {
"heading": {
"fontFamily": "Pretendard",
"fontSize": "24px",
"fontWeight": 700,
"lineHeight": 1.3
}
}
}
}
```

```tsx
// Type-safe theme tokens
const textExample =
const boxExample =
```

**Responsive + Pseudo selectors together:**

```tsx
// Responsive with pseudo selector
const example =

// Equivalent syntax
const example2 =
```

**styled-components / Emotion compatible `styled()` API:**

```tsx
import { styled } from '@devup-ui/react'

// Familiar syntax for styled-components and Emotion users
const Card = styled('div', {
bg: 'white',
p: 4, // 4 * 4 = 16px
borderRadius: '8px',
boxShadow: '0 4px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
_hover: {
boxShadow: '0 10px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
},
})

const Button = styled('button', {
px: 4, // 4 * 4 = 16px
py: 2, // 2 * 4 = 8px
borderRadius: '4px',
cursor: 'pointer',
})

// Usage
const cardExample = Content
const buttonExample = Click me
```
