I am using StaticImage from gatsby-plugin-image together with twin.macro for CSS styling and followed this guide: https://github.com/ben-rogerson/twin.examples/tree/master/gatsby-styled-components#getting-started
...
import tw, { css, styled, theme } from 'twin.macro'
import { StaticImage } from 'gatsby-plugin-image'
...
<StaticImage
imgStyle={tw`rounded-lg shadow-2xl`}
style={tw`p-4`}
src="../images/image.jpeg"
width={300}
quality={95}
formats={['AUTO', 'WEBP', 'AVIF']}
alt="Description"
/>
Styling the inner img element with 'imgStyle' works with twin.macro. However applying the same technique for the style property of StaticImage leads to the following error:
Styles shouldn’t be added within a style={...} prop
How can I apply twin.macro to the style property of StaticImage?
According to the Gatsby Image plugin docs:
The images are loaded and processed at build time, so there are
restrictions on how you pass props to the component. The values need
to be statically-analyzed at build time, which means you can’t pass
them as props from outside the component, or use the results of
function calls, for example. You can either use static values, or
variables within the component’s local scope.
So the code should look like this:
// Also OK
// A variable in the same file is fine.
const width = 300;
const height = 300;
const imgStyle= tw`rounded-lg shadow-2xl`;
export function Dino() {
// This works because the value can be statically-analyzed
const height = (width * 16) / 9
return <StaticImage
src="../images/image.jpeg"
width={width}
height={height}
style={imgStyle}
/>
}

I want to use simple components in different way and different ui rendering
For example a dropdown rendering a list may have several ui according to the page or context (=> padding, margins, font size and other css properties might change)
should I:
implement it by overwriting in the parent component (target css properties of the child component and apply them my css needs - at cost that if change happens in the child component like change in classname or what might break the parent design)
Pass flags to the component to handle those design and at cost that each component handle the design of each parent
There are different approaches to this and everybody has his own preferences.
I usually solve this by supporting the className property. The class is accepted as a prop and applied to the root. So it is easy to change things like outer margins or the background-color. I usually discourage modifications of deeply nested elements.
Example:
import classnames from 'clsx';
import style from './button.module.scss';
export const Button = ({ content, onClick, className }) => {
return (
<div
className={classnames(style.buttonRoot, className)}
onClick={onClick}>
{content}
</div>
);
};
and if I want to modify it anywhere I can do it thus:
import { Button } from './Button';
import style from './productView.module.scss';
// ...
<Button content={'Show products'} className={style.showProdButton} onClick={showProd} />
and
.show-prod-button {
background-color: #562873;
margin-left: 32px;
}
I am looking for a solution that will allow some styling options in a CMS that can dynamically change the classes of specific components in my NextJS app. My code looks like this:
pages/index.js:
...
import client from "../lib/client";
const Home = ({ headerConfig }) => {
return (
<>
<Header headerConfig={headerConfig} />
...
</>
);
};
export const getServerSideProps = async () => {
const headerConfig = await client.getDocument("headerConfig");
return {
props: { headerConfig },
};
};
export default Home;
components/Header.jsx:
const Header = ({ headerConfig }) => {
return (
<nav className={`relative ... ${headerConfig.bgColour}`}>
...
</nav>
);
}
export default Header
However, the styling does not apply and the background colour remains unchanged although the class does seem to be injected into the class attribute on the browser.
I know my current method is incorrect but I am clueless as to how to fix this. Could someone help point me in the right direction?
I assume that you are using tailwind. If so, you cannot inject classnames into an html element. This is because tailwind only includes classes that are explicitly declared somewhere within your code (it will find classes within any string in your project depending on the configuration). You can get around this problem by adding classes to the safelist array in your tailwind.config.js file. You can also safelist classes with regex to allow all variants of certain utilities.
However, safelisting only works if there are a specific set of classes that could potentially be injected. One option, which will be guaranteed to work but NOT RECOMMENDED, is to add a <link> in your html to the tailwind cdn. However this will include every single tailwind class in your css bundle, making it MUCH larger and your website slower.
Another solution is to use inline styles which are calculated with javascript depending on the classes you need to inject. If you are dealing with only simple parts of tailwind (like padding, margin, or other sizing units), this may be a good approach. For example a class like p-4 would get converted to padding: 1rem in your inline styles.
Depending on the needs of your application, one of these three approaches is probably the way to go. Hope this helps!
I'm using scoped CSS with https://github.com/gaoxiaoliangz/react-scoped-css and am trying to follow the following rules (besides others):
Scoped component CSS should only include styles that manipulate the "inside" of the component. E.g. manipulating padding, background-color etc. is fine whilst I try to stay away from manipulating stuff like margin, width, flex etc. from within the component CSS
Manipulating the "outside" of a component (margin, width, flex etc.) should only be done by "consuming" or parent components
This is rule is somewhat derived from some of the ideas behind BEM (and probably other CSS methodologies as well) and allows for a rather modular system where components can be used without "touching their outside" but letting the parent decide how their internal layouts etc. works.
Whilst this is all fine in theory, I don't really know how to best manipulate the "outside styles" of a component from the consuming code which is best shown with an example:
search-field.scoped.css (the component)
.input-field {
background: lightcoral;
}
search-field.tsx (the component)
import './search-field.scoped.css';
type SearchFieldProps = {
className: string;
};
export const SearchField = (props: SearchFieldProps) => {
return <input className={`input-field ${props.className}`} placeholder="Search text" />;
};
sidebar.scoped.css (the consumer)
.sidebar-search-field {
margin: 16px;
}
sidebar.tsx (the consumer)
import './sidebar.scoped.css';
// ...
export const Sidebar = () => {
return (
<SearchField className="sidebar-search-field" />
(/* ... */)
);
};
In the above example, the CSS from the class sidebar-search-field in sidebar.scoped.css is not applied because the class passed to SearchField is scoped to the Sidebar and the final selector .sidebar-search-field[data-sidebarhash] simply doesn't match as the input element of the SearchField (obviously) doesn't have the data attribute data-sidebarhash but data-searchfieldhash.
ATM, I tend to create wrapper elements in situations like this which works but is rather cumbersome & clutters the markdown unnecessarily:
// ...
export const Sidebar = () => {
return (
<div className="sidebar-search-field">
<SearchField />
</div>
(/* ... */)
);
};
Question
Is there any way to "style scoped CSS component from the outside"?
Ps.: I'm not sure if all the above also applies to scoped styles in Vue. If not, please let me know how it works there so that I can create a feature request in https://github.com/gaoxiaoliangz/react-scoped-css.
I have an app in next js that is also using chakra UI. I am attempting to add a footer to the app, but am unable to force the components under the navbar to take up the remaining height of the screen.
I think my issue is that I am not correctly passing CSS styling down to the components.
_app.tsx
import '../styles/globals.css';
function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return (
<ChakraProvider theme={theme}>
<Navbar></Navbar>
<Component id='component-container' {...pageProps} />
)
}
export default MyApp
styles/globals.css
#component-container {
height: 100%
}
Even when I set the #component-container to something like color: white I do not see this CSS applied to the child components. I don't think I am correctly passing the CSS down to the components.
How do I correctly apply CSS to all components in next js?
You need to pass that ID to an HTML element inside that component...
Right now you are only passing that ID as a props to that component and probably none of the elements inside it have that ID(as I don't know what the code is for your component).
Go inside that component and either give that ID to which element you want(Probably the first DIV element) or pass it as a props to that element
I have an application where I'm using Material UI and its theme provider (using JSS).
I'm now incorporating fullcalendar-react, which isn't really a fully fledged React library - it's just a thin React component wrapper around the original fullcalendar code.
That is to say, that I don't have access to things like render props to control how it styles its elements.
It does however, give you access to the DOM elements directly, via a callback that is called when it renders them (eg. the eventRender method).
Here's a basic demo sandbox.
Now what I'm wanting to do is make Full Calendar components (eg, the buttons) share the same look and feel as the rest of my application.
One way to do this, is that I could manually override all of the styles by looking at the class names it's using and implementing the style accordingly.
Or - I could implement a Bootstrap theme - as suggested in their documentation.
But the problem with either of these solutions, is that that:
It would be a lot of work
I would have synchronisation problems, if I made changes to my MUI theme and forgot to update the calendar theme they would look different.
What I would like to do is either:
Magically convert the MUI theme to a Bootstrap theme.
Or create a mapping between MUI class names and the calendar class names, something like:
.fc-button = .MuiButtonBase-root.MuiButton-root.MuiButton-contained
.fc-button-primary= .MuiButton-containedPrimary
I wouldn't mind having to massage the selectors etc to make it work (ie. For example - MUI Buttons have two internal spans, whereas Full Calendar have just one). It's mostly about when I change the theme - don't want to have to change it in two places.
Using something like Sass with its #extend syntax would is what I have in mind. I could create the full-calendar CSS with Sass easily enough - but how would Sass get access to the MuiTheme?
Perhaps I could take the opposite approach - tell MUI 'Hey these class names here should be styled like these MUI classes'.
Any concrete suggestions on how I would solve this?
Here is my suggestion (obviously, it's not straight forward). Take the styles from the MUI theme and generate style tag based on it using react-helmet. To do it event nicely, I created a "wrapper" component that do the map. I implemented only the primary rule but it can be extended to all the others.
This way, any change you will do in the theme will affect the mapped selectors too.
import React from "react";
import { Helmet } from "react-helmet";
export function MuiAdapter({ theme }) {
if (!theme.palette) {
return <></>;
}
return (
<Helmet>
<style type="text/css">{`
.fc-button-primary {
background: ${theme.palette.primary.main}
}
/* more styles go here */
`}</style>
</Helmet>
);
}
And the use of the adapter
<MuiAdapter theme={theme} />
Working demo: https://codesandbox.io/s/reverent-mccarthy-3o856
You could create a mapping between MUI class names and the calendar class names by going through ref's. It's possible that this is not what some would call "best practice"...but it's a solution :). Note that I updated your component from a functional component to a class component, but you could accomplish this with hooks in a functional component.
Add refs
Add a ref to the MUI element you want to set as a reference, in your case the Button.
<Button
color="primary"
variant="contained"
ref={x => {
this.primaryBtn = x;
}}
>
And a ref to a wrapping div around the component you want to map to. You can't add it directly to the component since that wouldn't give us access to children.
<div
ref={x => {
this.fullCal = x;
}}
>
<FullCalendar
...
/>
</div>
Map classes
From componentDidMount() add whatever logic you need to target the correct DOM node (for your case, I added logic for type and matchingClass). Then run that logic on all FullCalendar DOM nodes and replace the classList on any that match.
componentDidMount() {
this.updatePrimaryBtns();
}
updatePrimaryBtns = () => {
const children = Array.from(this.fullCal.children);
// Options
const type = "BUTTON";
const matchingClass = "fc-button-primary";
this.mapClassToElem(children, type, matchingClass);
};
mapClassToElem = (arr, type, matchingClass) => {
arr.forEach(elem => {
const { tagName, classList } = elem;
// Check for match
if (tagName === type && Array.from(classList).includes(matchingClass)) {
elem.classList = this.primaryBtn.classList.value;
}
// Run on any children
const next = elem.children;
if (next.length > 0) {
this.mapClassToElem(Array.from(next), type, matchingClass);
}
});
};
This is maybe a little heavy handed, but it meets your future proof requirement for when you updated update Material UI. It would also allow you to alter the classList as you pass it to an element, which has obvious benefits.
Caveats
If the 'mapped-to' component (FullCalendar) updated classes on the elements you target (like if it added .is-selected to a current button) or adds new buttons after mounting then you'd have to figure out a way to track the relevant changes and rerun the logic.
I should also mention that (obviously) altering classes might have unintended consequences like a breaking UI and you'll have to figure out how to fix them.
