Functional CSS for functional UI components
const className = cxs({ color: 'tomato' })CXS is a functional CSS-in-JS solution that uses atomic styles to maximize deduplication and help with dead code elimination.
- Three different modes of operation: Atomic, Lite, & Monolithic
- < 5KB
- Avoids collisions with atomic rulesets
- Deduplicates repeated styles
- Dead-code elimination
- Framework independent
- CSS-in-JS
- Media queries
- Pseudoclasses
- Nested selectors
- Avoid maintaining separate stylesheets
- Use plain JS objects and types
- No tagged template literals
npm install cxsCXS works with any framework, but this example uses React for demonstration purposes.
import React from 'react'
import cxs from 'cxs'
const Box = (props) => {
return (
<div {...props} className={className} />
)
}
const className = cxs({
padding: 32,
backgroundColor: 'tomato'
})
export default Boxcxs({
color: 'tomato',
':hover': {
color: 'red'
}
})cxs({
color: 'tomato',
'@media (min-width: 40em)': {
color: 'red'
}
})cxs({
color: 'tomato',
h1: {
color: 'red'
}
})To use CXS in server environments, use the getCss() function to get the static CSS string after rendering a view.
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server'
import cxs from 'cxs'
import App from './App'
const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(<App />)
const css = cxs.getCss()
const doc = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>${css}</style>
${html}
`
// Optionally reset the cache for the next render
cxs.reset()CXS offers three different modes of operation, which produce different rules and class names.
import cxsAtomic from 'cxs'
import cxsMonolithic from 'cxs/monolithic'
import cxsLite from 'cxs/lite'
const styles = {
margin: 0,
marginBottom: 32,
padding: 16,
color: 'tomato',
':hover': {
color: 'orangered'
},
'@media (min-width: 40em)': {
padding: 32
}
}
// Each mode returns a different set of class names
cxsAtomic(styles)
// m-0 mb-32 p-16 c-tomato -hover-c-orangered _zsp35u
cxsMonolithic(styles)
// _q5nmba
cxsLite(styles)
// a b c d e fimport cxs from 'cxs'The default mode is the atomic mode. This creates atomic rulesets and attempts to create human readable classnames. If a classname is longer than 24 characters, a hashed classname will be used instead.
import cxs from 'cxs/lite'For super fast performance, use the cxs/lite module.
Lite mode creates alphabetic class names in a sequential order and does not support nested selectors.
Since the class names in cxs/lite are not created in a functional manner, when using cxs/lite on both the server and client, the styles will need to be rehydrated.
// Server
const css = cxs.getCss()
cxs.reset()
const html = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<style id='cxs-style'>${css}</style>
${body}
`// Client
import cxs from 'cxs/lite'
const styleTag = document.getElementById('cxs-style')
const serverCss = styleTag.innerHTML
cxs.rehydrate(serverCss)import cxs from 'cxs/monolithic'To create encapsulated monolithic styles with CXS and use single hashed class names, import the monolithic module.
The monolithic module also accepts custom selectors for styling things like the body element.
cxs('body', {
fontFamily: '-apple-system, sans-serif',
margin: 0,
lineHeight: 1.5
})import cxs from 'cxs'
// Creates styles and returns micro classnames
cxs({ color: 'tomato' })
// Returns a CSS string of attached rules. Useful for server-side rendering
cxs.getCss()
// Clear the cache and flush the glamor stylesheet.
// This is useful for cleaning up in server-side contexts.
cxs.reset()Additional exports
import {
// The threepointone/glamor StyleSheet instance
// See https://github.com/threepointone/glamor

} from 'cxs'
CXS does not handle vendor prefixing to keep the module size at a minimum.
To add vendor prefixes, use a prefixing module like inline-style-prefixer
import cxs from 'cxs'
import prefixer from 'inline-style-prefixer/static'
const prefixed = prefixer({
display: 'flex'
})
const cx = cxs(prefixed)IE9+, due to the following:
Array.filterArray.mapArray.forEach
