Stylers

  • Scoped CSS for Rust web frameworks like Leptos.
  • style! macro is for writing css inside rust functions directly. It will validates css properties as well.
  • style_sheet! macro is for writing css in external css file and importing that inside rust functions.
  • style_str! macro is same as style! macro but returns the tuple (class_name, style_val) instead of saving the style_val to the separate file.
  • style_sheet_str! this same as style_sheet! macro but returns the tuple (class_name, style_val) instead of saving the style_val to the separate file.

Important Note

  • This Readme file is for the latest relase of stylers 1.0.0-alpha. You can find the readme for previous versions here

Installtion

cargo add stylers

Prerequisite

  • If you are using style or style_sheet macro, then you have to add the stylers crate as both dependencies and build-dependencies in your Cargo.toml file.
[dependencies]
stylers = { version = "*" }

[build-dependencies]
stylers = {  version = "*" }
  • Then you have to add build.rs file in your root directory and add the below code snippet in it.
use stylers::build;

fn main() {
    build(Some(String::from("./target/main.css")));
}
  • In the above case output css file will be generated in the ./target/main.css path. You can include that main.css file in your index.html file.(Or If you are using a build like Trunk.rs you have to follow appropriate methods to include the main.css file to your project).

You can find the importance of these new changes here.

Leptos Example

Note :Leptos version > 0.4.9 has some new changes. But stylers works the same way in all versions of leptos

style!

#[component]
fn Hello(cx: Scope, name: &'static str) -> impl IntoView {
    let styler_class = style! {
        #two{
            color: blue;
        }
        div.one{
            color: red;
            content: raw_str(r#"\hello"#);
            font: "1.3em/1.2" Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        }
        div {
            border: 1px solid black;
            margin: 25px 50px 75px 100px;
            background-color: lightblue;
        }
        h2 {
            color: purple;
        }
        @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
            h3 {
                background-color: lightblue;
                color: blue
            }
        }
    };

    view! {cx, class = styler_class,
        <div class="one">
            <h1 id="two">"Hello"</h1>
            <h2>"World"</h2>
            <h2>{name}</h2>
            <h3>"Hello Kanna"</h3>
        </div>
    }
}

style_sheet!

#[component]
fn Hello(cx: Scope, name: &'static str) -> impl IntoView {
    let class_name = style_sheet!("./hello.css");
    view! {cx, class = class_name,
        <div class="one">
            <h1 id="two">"Hello"</h1>
            <h2>"World"</h2>
        </div>
    }
}
  • In the above case hello.css file is inside the root directory of the project.

style_str!

#[component]
pub fn GreenButton(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    let (class_name, style_val) = style_str! {
        button {
            background-color: green;
            border-radius: 8px;
            border-style: none;
            box-sizing: border-box;
            color: yellow;
            cursor: pointer;
            display: inline-block;
            font-family: r#"Haas Grot Text R Web"#, r#"Helvetica Neue"#, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
            font-size: 14px;
            font-weight: 500;
            height: 40px;
            line-height: 20px;
            list-style: none;
            margin: 0;
            outline: none;
            padding: 10px 16px;
            position: relative;
            text-align: center;
            text-decoration: none;
            transition: color 100ms;
            vertical-align: baseline;
            user-select: none;
            -webkit-user-select: none;
        }
        button:hover{
            background-color: yellow;
            color: green;
        }
    };

    view! {cx, class = class_name,
        <style>{style_val}</style>
        <button>"I am green button"</button>
    }
}

style_sheet_str!

#[component]
pub fn BlueButton(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    let (class_name, style_val) = style_sheet_str!("./src/button.css");

    view! {cx, class = class_name,
        <style>{style_val}</style>
        <button>"I am blue button"</button>
    }
}
  • In this case button.css file is inside the src directory of the project.

Custom pseudo classes

  • In some situations we may need our css to affect deep down the dom tree. To achieve this we have custom pseudo class called :deep(). For example below css is valid one.

Input

div :deep(h3) {
    color: orange;
}

Output

div.l-243433 h3{color: orange;}
  • If you want your particular css to be global you can use :deep() directive without any prceding selectors it.

Input

:deep(h3 div) {
    color: orange;
}

Ouput

h3 div{color: orange;}

How it works:

  • This stylers::build method will parse all the rust files in the path /src/**/*.rs during build step to find the places the style and style_sheet macros has been used and generate single output css file.
  • style_str and style_sheet_str directly returns the tuple (class_name, output_css).

Edge cases handled for style! macros

  • By default double quotes ( " ) around css property values will be removed. If user wants to retain the double quotes they have to wrap it using raw_str as given below:
  • these rules apply for both style! and style_str! macros

Input

style!(
    div{
        content: raw_str(r#"\hello"#);
        font: "1.3em/1.2" Arial;
    }
)

Output

    div.l-23432{
        content: "\hello";
        font: 1.3em/1.2 Arial;
    }

Optional build process using Trunk(Only when you use style! or style_sheet! macro )

  • You have to include generated main.css in the index.html (e.g <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css">).

  • In Trunk.toml you have to add the below lines to move the the main.css file from ./target/ directory to ./dist/ directory.

[[hooks]]
stage = "post_build"
command = "sh"
command_arguments = ["-c", "cp ./target/main.css $TRUNK_STAGING_DIR/"]
  • when you are including external css file using style_sheet! macro, whenever you make some changes in your css file you have to save corresponding rust file(*.rs) for css to be updated on the browser. For more info about trunk refer here.
  • if something is odd with styling, delete the ./target/stylers directory and rebuild your package. If the problem persists please raise an issue here.
