Every React component gets an inbuilt javascript constructor for functional logic.

Introducing the css constructor for styling!

import React from 'react';
import css from 'css-constructor';

export default class Hello extends React.Component {

    /* javascript constructor */
    constructor (props) {
        super(props);
    }

    /* css constructor */
    @css`
        font-size: 16px;
        text-align: center;

        /* Use props in your CSS */
        color: {this.props.color};

        /* Pseudo selectors */
        &:hover {
            color: #FFF;
        }

        /* Nested elements */
        img {
            border-radius: 50%;
        }
        #handle {
            margin-top: 20px;
        }

        /* Media queries */
        @media (max-width: 600px) {
            & {font-size: 18px;}
        }
    `

    render () {
        return (<div>
            <img src="https://github.com/siddharthkp.png"/>
            <div id="handle">@siddharthkp</div>
        </div>)
    }
};

// <Hello color='papayawhip'/>

Coming soon

💻 vendor prefixes

1. npm install css-constructor --save

2. import css from 'css-constructor'

3. Add a @css block just before the render function (important)

4. Add transform-decorators-legacy as the first plugin in your .babelrc (already downloaded with 💄).

If you are not familiar with babel plugins you can follow the detailed instructions here.

Or, if you would prefer using 💄 without adding the babel transform for decorators, up-vote this issue.

You can start using this right away. Even though 💄 is in BETA, the @css block will always look the same.

The implementation is still fragile, report bugs if find any. Or, bookmark with a ⭐️ and check back soon.

💄 uses ES7 class method decorators on the render function. I'll probably write a detailed post about it.

Heavily inspired from glamor, styled-components and radium

If you think 💄 is useful for your project, ⭐️ this repo for my motivation 🙇🏻
