## Vue Use Variant
Simple composable for **Vue.js*** to handle long and ugly CSS class chaining.
Read the story behind this package [here](https://itnext.io/tailwind-class-madness-never-again-75ec6ebfd3a0).
**you can use it with any other framework as well*
### Install
---
Install the package:
```bash
$ npm i vue-use-variant --save
# or
$ yarn add vue-use-variant
```
### Motivation
---
We all know that systems like [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com) are awesome, but we also know that defining styles by using utility classes can be hard ... Let's say you are using Tailwind and you want to style some button with provided classes. Probably the definition will look something like this:
```vue
Submit
```
... and this is just a button. Imagine whole markup for even tiny component.
Readability of it will be - easy talking - not so great. So what **problems** we're facing here:
- very long class definition
- poor readability
- lack of scalability
- hard to maintain
### Usage
---
To resolve these problems you can try `useVariant` composable.
First define some variants. You can crate regular JSON object for it or use Vue `Ref`.
```javascript
import { ref } from 'vue'
export const buttonVariants = {
button: 'font-bold rounded border-0 bg-blue hover:opacity-80',
buttonPrimary: 'p-4 text-lg',
buttonSecondary: 'p-2 text-md',
}
// or use with Vue Ref (Composition API)
export const buttonVariantsRef = ref(buttonVariants)
```
Now let's see how we can use it with some real component example.
```vue
import { defineComponent, ref } from 'vue'
import { buttonVariants, buttonVariantsRef } from './variants.ts'
import { useVariant, UseVariant } from 'vue-use-variant'
export default defineComponent({
name: 'Button',
setup() {
const { defineVariant } = useVariant() as UseVariant
return {
buttonVariant: defineVariant(
ref({
button: true,
buttonPrimary: true,
}),
buttonVariantsRef,
),
}
},
})
```
As a result your button will get this set of classes:
```vue
font-bold rounded border-0 bg-blue hover:opacity-80 p-4 text-lg
```
---
You can also use it with **props**.
```vue
import { buttonVariantsRef } from './variants.ts'
export default defineComponent({
name: 'Button',
props: {
button: {
type: Boolean,
default: true,
},
buttonVariant: {
type: String,
default: 'buttonPrimary',
},
},
setup() {
const { defineVariant } = useVariant() as UseVariant
return {
buttonVariant: defineVariant({ ...props }, buttonVariantsRef),
}
},
})
```
Use as an Array.
```vue
import { buttonVariantsRef } from './variants.ts'
export default defineComponent({
name: 'Button',
setup() {
const { defineVariant } = useVariant() as UseVariant
return {
buttonVariant: defineVariant(['button', 'buttonPrimary'], buttonVariantsRef),
}
},
})
```
Use straight without variant definitions.
```vue
export default defineComponent({
name: 'Button',
setup() {
const { defineVariant } = useVariant() as UseVariant
return {
buttonVariant: defineVariant({ shadow: 'shadow' }),
}
},
})
```
Finally, you can define your variants as composable argument.
```vue
import { buttonVariantsRef } from './variants.ts'
export default defineComponent({
name: 'Button',
setup() {
const { defineVariant } = useVariant(buttonVariantsRef) as UseVariant
return {
buttonVariant: defineVariant({ buttonPrimary: true }),
}
},
})
```
Of course, you can **combine and mix** variants and use them as a global variations for
your base, global and reusable components. It's super easy and convenient. You can
of course use it with any **other UI System** like for example Boostrap or Vuetify.
And maybe it was built for vue you can use it for any o**ther frameworks** like React.
