I recently started to work with React and I want to use an admin template. I am looking for a way to import the styles from theme to React components. I am using Keen Admin Theme
Theme includes all necessary html, js and sass files. Various tutorials suggest copying and pasting the html code inside the component but I am looking for a more practical way rather than copying and pasting because JSX requires additional changes on html, furthermore I think it is not a good practice.
So what I am looking for is similar to Angular's approach, so I can pass the html file directly to the component.
Angular's approach:
#Component({
selector: 'app-component-overview',
templateUrl: './component-overview.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./component-overview.component.css']
})
If there is no such option what is the recommended way of using out-of-box themes in React?
The best way is to write it yourself to avoid copying pasting. Or find the components that are of React or Angular (as per your requirements)

Can I import CSS and JavaScript files to Vuetify for importing some components? Or Can I put an entire theme that would be a basic HTML theme?
For example, I found a tool that is needed in the project can I integrate it with Vuetify such as Datatables, JS validation Plugins, or some statistical widgets, even an entire theme?
Vuetify is a UI CSS framework.
So it will grant you some CSS components.
You can add pretty much what you want to it. It will have the issue of needing an overwrite in specific places (CSS cascade/specificity mainly).
But otherwise, nothing special will block you from using it alongside other things.
I am developing my own library of react components. I am using rollup to create the build. I also want to ship css along with it which i bundled into a single styles.css file. My concern is how a user would use it. They can simply import the components using import { Component1, Component2 } from 'my-library' but they are not styled by default. This can be solved by importing the css file: import 'my-library/build/styles.css' but i feel like this import is redundant, i want the css file to be included by default in my library index.js file. I am not sure how can i achieve this.
I am using rollup and rollup-plugin-postcss.
So my question is how do i do this? Should i use some rollup plugin? Is my idea right in the first place? Maybe i should leave it to the user to decide how they want it bundled because my approach forces them to use some loader for css files?
If you want to ship external styles (instead of e.g. a CSS-in-JS system such as Emotion), that "redundant import" way is the standard, exactly because you can't know how the user of your library wants the styles applied to their page, or which loader (or bundler!) they'd want to use.
It's also possible there's no document to inject styles into at all, in case your users are server-side-rendering your component to be hydrated on the client side.
Is there a way in Next.js to separate critical CSS and non critical for each page and load non-critical asynchronously ?
I am using styled-components in my pages and components + couple of external css libraries.
Thanks!
You can use module css, but not global. Global styles can only be used in _app.js, but you can import "module" css which is a built in feature. Is this what you mean?
// Foo.js component needing third party
import '#thirdparty/dist/styles.css'
// Foo.js component with module css from you
import styles from "./Foo.module.css";
I apologize if this is not what ur looking for. I'm not entirely sure what you are in need of.
I know this is a very bad approach when we try to add two different css frameworks in a single project. But for now, due to a project requirement, I need to add bootstrap and materialize css in a project. In root component bootstrap is used, and in child component I will use materialize.
In child component I have included materialize in the following way
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom';
import screenFull from 'screenfull';
import material from 'materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.css';
import './Control.css';
but adding this way overlaps bootstrap classes which is obviously not the required behaviour.
I want to limit scope of materialize.css inside the child component only. Can anyone give me a suggestion on this?
Note: Root component was developed before, and create-react-app is not used over there. webpack configuration file has been written manually.
Please use https://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/ for your project as it's based on the bootstrap the UI will have look and feel like material and you haven't to change the existing code. I recommended to use only one UI framework for you project.
As I have seen that you are facing a problem where you need to include both the css framework, I better suggest you to use https://mdbootstrap.com/.
The second thing which I suggest you is to include in your application not for specific component. If you want to make some change for specific component look and feel create separate css/scss file and include it to you component.
I'm trying to break up my monolithic React app into reusable parts that can be shared with other projects.
I want to extract some generic components (e.g. Button, Header, Dropdown, etc.) into my own little UI library. The problem I'm running into is how to manage the CSS. Right now, my app just has a single stylesheet that takes care of everything.
These are the solutions I have seen:
Embed the CSS styles for each component in the JS for the component itself (CSS in JS).
import or require the CSS files in the JS for the component and use webpack to bundle the CSS file for you.
I really don't love either option. I understand the appeal of co-locating the styles with the component, but I feel like: a) it clutters the component definition, and b) it fights with how CSS works (no more taking advantage of cascading styles since everything is so tightly scoped to the individual component).
And, I can't bring myself to import a CSS file. That just feels so wrong. We're not even writing javascript anymore at that point.
I realize that these aren't exactly popular opinions, but is there a 3rd option that I'm missing for getting a good old fashioned CSS file from an NPM module that I can just drop in my HTML and use? Ideally one that doesn't involve copy/pasting it from node_modules. :)
Thanks to the tip from #EmileBergeron I found the PostCSS import plugin. It can find and inline stylesheets in node_modules and in your own code.
So, my workflow will be:
npm install my-ui-library
Import the React components you want to use into your JS files import { Button } from 'my-ui-library'
Import the corresponding stylesheets into your CSS files #import 'my-ui-library/Button.css'
That way I'm importing CSS into CSS and JS into JS which feels a lot more natural to me. It might also make sense to just have one stylesheet for all components instead of breaking it up per-component, but that's a detail I can figure out later.
Then, I just need to add PostCSS into my build system to inline everything which has been pretty simple in testing.
