README

        


Fela is a small, high-performant and framework-agnostic toolbelt to handle state-driven styling in JavaScript.


It is dynamic by design and renders your styles depending on your application state.

It generates atomic CSS and supports all common CSS features such as media queries, pseudo classes, keyframes and font-faces. Fela ships with a powerful plugin API adding e.g. [vendor prefixing](packages/fela-plugin-prefixer) or [fallback value](packages/fela-plugin-fallback-value) support.

Fela can be used with [React](https://fela.js.org/docs/latest/guides/usage-with-react) or with any other view library. It even supports [React Native](https://fela.js.org/docs/latest/guides/usage-with-react-native).

## The Gist

Fela's core principle is to consider [style as a function of state](http://fela.js.org/docs/latest/intro/principles).


The whole API and all plugins and bindings are built on that idea.


It is reactive and auto-updates once registered to the DOM.


The following example illustrates the key parts of Fela though it only shows the very basics.

```javascript

import { createRenderer } from 'fela'

// a simple style rule is a pure function of state

// that returns an object of style declarations

const rule = (state) => ({

  textAlign: 'center',

  padding: '5px 10px',

  // directly use the state to compute style values

  fontSize: state.fontSize + 'pt',

  borderRadius: 5,

  // deeply nest media queries and pseudo classes

  ':hover': {

    fontSize: state.fontSize + 2 + 'pt',

    boxShadow: '0 0 2px rgb(70, 70, 70)',

  },

})

const renderer = createRenderer()

// fela generates atomic CSS classes in order to achieve

// maximal style reuse and minimal CSS output

const className = renderer.renderRule(rule, {

  fontSize: 14,

}) // =>  a b c d e f

```

The generated CSS output would look like this:

```CSS

.a { text-align: center }

.b { padding: 5px 10px }

.c { font-size: 14pt }

.d { border-radius: 5px }

.e:hover { font-size: 16pt }

.f:hover { box-shadow: 0 0 2px rgb(70, 70, 70) }

```

### Primitive Components

If you're using Fela, you're most likely also using React.


Using the [React bindings](packages/react-fela), you get powerful APIs to create primitive components.


> **Read**: [Usage with React](http://fela.js.org/docs/latest/guides/usage-with-react) for a full guide.

```jsx

import * as React from 'react'

import { useFela } from 'react-fela'

const rule = ({ fontSize }) => ({

  textAlign: 'center',

  padding: '5px 10px',

  // directly use the props to compute style values

  fontSize: fontSize + 'pt',

  borderRadius: 5,

  ':hover': {

    fontSize: fontSize + 2 + 'pt',

    boxShadow: '0 0 2px rgb(70, 70, 70)',

  },

})

function Button({ fontSize, children }) {

  const { css } = useFela({ fontSize })

  return {children}

}

```

## Workshop

If you are coming from CSS and want to learn JavaScript Styling with Fela, there is a full-feature [fela-workshop](https://github.com/tajo/fela-workshop) which demonstrates typical Fela use cases. It teaches all important parts, step by step with simple examples. If you already know other CSS in JS solutions and are just switching to Fela, you might not need to do the whole workshop, but it still provides useful information to get started quickly.
