I am incorporating RTL to my React application. I have two CSS files, one for LTR and one for RTL. I have a drop down from where user select either English version or Arabic version.
I am stuck with that how to conditional import my RTL CSS file when user select Arabic version and back to normal CSS file when user select English.
Any help or guidance on this will be highly appreciated
I am using React & webpack
Regards
I have faced this problem before, What I have done is that when my main container is mounting, I check for the language, if it's Arabic, I require the Arabic CSS file, if not I require the other.
Example:
class Main extends Component {
componentWillMount() {
if(this.props.language === 'ar') {
require('arabic.css');
} else {
require('english.css');
}
}
}
I'm using Redux as well, which makes it easier for me to get the initial or default language, and change all the other components accordingly as well.
Just make sure you have the CSS loader configured in your webpack configuration file.
Use React.Lazy and React.Suspense to conditionally import them.

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.
This is a very specific question, but I am using the Chakra UI component library for React and I want to import my own custom css files, although it doesn't allow me to do this.
I don't know if this is a bug or if it is intended, but is there any way I can go around it?
Thanks.
Make sure that you import css files in right place. Try to import your css files into App.js or if be more specific into the file where you init ChakraProvider. This approach works fine for my project:
import { ChakraProvider } from '#chakra-ui/react';
import './yourCssFile.css';
You can extend or override a token in the default theme by importing the extendTheme function. You can override properties as well as add new ones.
But if you want to add an external CSS file, I've found out from reading the docs that in order to import other file types (.css, .woff or .svg) in your theme file, you'll need to move those imports out of the theme file.
In react project using module.css styling I want to make a main folder with variables commonly used for example file variable.js where I will have
export const colors = {
buttonBackground:"#FFFFFF"
}
I want to pass it to certain classes. Will it work if for example in list.module.css file I will write:
import {colors} from "..."
.complete {
background-color:${colors.buttonBackground}
}
Or it should be coded in different way ?
Sorry I don't have possibility now to test it on my own that's why I write and describe it.
thanks

in case you need to use some js constants you can have a look at JSS which is a way to write css in js, you can integrate JSS in your react app using this guide
I've been surfing StackOverflow and the Nuxt documentation, but I cannot get my head around this one.
So, I need to do RTL. My project is in Nuxt and we use SCSS. I'm setting the htmlAttrs to dir="rtl" conditionally depending on a store getter that tells me if the language is RTL or not. The requirement for this specific task is that a RTL stylesheet should be imported conditionally from the server side also if the country is RTL, so that it overrides the main.scss file.
Now, in nuxtServerInit(), I cannot set the stylesheet in the head, because the route will not direct me to the file, and, most importantly, Webpack won't compile it, as it's outside the regular flow of the application and not imported by main.scss, which is the stylesheet the Nuxt config is pointing to, and which contains all other styles. I realize that I could use a class and use it conditionally in components, but that is not the requirement. The nuxt.config.js file, in the relevant part, looks like this:
css: [
'#/assets/styles/main.scss'
]
There I obviously don't have access to the store.
What I said I tried was this:
if (isRTL) {
service.addEntryToArray('link', {
rel: 'stylesheet',
type: 'text/css',
href: '../assets/styles/main.rtl.scss'
});
}
(We use a service to add things to the head)
I understand that was naive on my part, because Webpack has no say there, so there is no transpilation, and there is no actual asset, which means the route is just wrong, and even if it were right, the browser would not be able to read it.
Any ideas on how this could be achieved at a non-component level? This needs to be part of the Webpack flow, has to be added server-side, and needs to be an import --I cannot just import it regularly and use just a class (again, I'm not stubborn, I'm working on a project, and this is a requirement by the client).
If you need more information, I'll update the post, but I don't know what else to provide.
I am using the vaadin plugin for grails, and am trying to define some custom styles. Where within my grails appliction should I put the .css? My Vaadin application is in /vaadin/ I have tried creating a /vaadin/themes/mytheme/ folder and then putting my styles.css file in there, but still had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. New to grails and new to vaadin, and am pulling my hair out over small stuff like this and can't get any of the actual legwork done until I can figure these things out..
Any way of doing inline styling would be fine with me too, at this point. I really just need some way to write explicit style..
Thanks
You need to put it into /web-app/VAADIN/themes/mytheme
You can have a look at the completed addressbook tutorial (with added Gorm and Spring Security Core support)
With the latest version of the plugin:
The name of the file must be styles.css (or styles.scss, which will then be compiled to styles.css by the command grails prod war)
The file must be located in /web-app/VAADIN/themes/mytheme , where the last part is the name of your style
In your UI file, use the #Theme annotation, for example
#Theme("mytheme")
#VaadinUI(path = '/')
class MyUI extends UI {
// ...
In VaadinConfig.groovy, specify the styles used by the application:
themes = ['mytheme']
