First if you don't know what's a css modules, you should definitely read the specification: https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules
Using cljs-css-modules, you won't write pure CSS, but you'll use garden syntax to write your style in ClojureScript.
(Garden basically allows you to use any feature of pure css, so no worries you're not losing any power here).
The idea of cljs-css-modules is to localise every classes (and soon animations) you define through the defstyle macro.
gmp26 put together a repository porting a css-modules project over to a cljs-css-modules/cljs one.
You can check it out, to see how this library can be used in a real project:
- Original JS Repo: https://github.com/css-modules/webpack-demo
- CLJS Repo: https://github.com/gmp26/css-modules-tester
Add this to your project.clj:
You need to define your style using the defstyle macro.
Your style will be written using garden syntax, so spend some time reading the doc.
Each time you'll define some style using defstyle, this style will be localised (every classes and animations), translated to CSS,
and automatically injected into the <head> tag. This works perfectly with figwheel, and you'll get live style reloading out of the box.
(If you come from the javascript world and you've used webpack before, it replaces both css-loader and style-loader).
Example:
Define your style:
(ns yourapp.namespace1
(:require [cljs-css-modules.macro :refer-macros [defstyle]]))
(defstyle style
(at-media {:max-width "200px"}
[".mobile-style-1" {:margin "5px"}]
[".mobile-style-2" {:margin "10px"}])
[".container" {:background-color "blue"
:font-size 55}
["a" {:color "green"}]
["&:hover" {:background-color "black"}]]
[".text" {:font-size 14
:color "brown"}]
(at-keyframes "keyframe-1" [:from {:a 50}]
[:to {:b 50}])
["@keyframes keyframe-2" [:from {:a 50}]
[:to {:b 50}]]
[".title" {:background-color "blue"
:font-size 60}]
[".title2" {:font-size 40
:color "red"}])The localised classes/keyframes will be available in the style object created. (Note: including classes in media queries).
(:container style) ;; => returns the unique generated class for ".container"
(:mobile-style-1 style) ;; => returns the unique generated class for ".mobile-style-1"To use your style, you just need to inject them wherever you need:
For instance with reagent:
(defn simple-component []
[:div {:class-name (:container style)}
[:h1 {:class-name (:title style)} "I am a big title"]
[:h1 {:class-name (:title2 style)} "I am smaller title"]
[:p {:class-name (:text style)}
"Here goes some random text"]])To define a media query you need to use the (at-media) form, and nest your style in it.
It's the same as garden's syntax, here is the documentation:
https://github.com/noprompt/garden/wiki/Media-Queries
Example:
(defstyle style
(at-media {:max-width "400px"}
[".mobile-style" {:margin "5px"}])
(at-media {:min-width "400px"
:max-width "800px"}
[".tablet-style-1" {:margin "5px"}]
[".tablet-style-2" {:margin "10px"}]))This will localise all the classes in your media queries, here: .mobile-style, .tablet-style-1, .tablet-style-2.
Note: Using cljs-css-modules, you don't need to import the at-media function from garden's library. The macro will recognise the at-media symbol.
To define an animation you need to use the (at-keyframes) form, or a string like "@keyframes animation-name":
Example:
(defstyle style
(at-keyframes "animation-1"
[:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "200px"}])
(at-keyframes "animation-2"
[:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "250px"}])
["@keyframes animation-3" [:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "250px"}]])This will localise all the animations, here: animation-1, animation-2, animation-3.
Note: Using cljs-css-modules, you don't need to import the at-keyframes function from garden's library. The macro will recognise the at-keyframes symbol.
If you use the macro from clojure (and not clojurescript), it will define a map containing both the generated css and the map between original selectors and localised selectors.
(defstyle style
{:pretty-print? false}
(at-keyframes "animation-1"
[:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "200px"}])
(at-keyframes "animation-2"
[:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "250px"}])
["@keyframes animation-3" [:from {:top "0px"}]
[:to {:top "250px"}]])In this case style would be the following map:
{:map {:animation-1 "animation-1--G__1524"
:animation-2 "animation-2--G__1524"
:animation-3 "animation-3--G__1524"}
:css "@keyframes animation-1--G__1524{from{top:0}to{top:200px}}@keyframes animation-2--G__1524{from{top:0}to{top:250px}}@keyframes animation-3--G__1524{from{top:0}to{top:250px}}"}You can then do whatever you want with these, and use it for you server side rendered apps!
You might want to consider https://github.com/mhallin/forest which is not based on garden and provides the same kind of features using its own DSL.
