API

makeStyles()

Is used to define styles, returns a React hook that should be called inside a component:

import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useClasses = makeStyles({
  button: { color: 'red' },
  icon: { paddingLeft: '5px' },
});

function Component() {
  const classes = useClasses();

  return (
    <div>
      <button className={classes.button} />
      <span className={classes.icon} />
    </div>
  );
}

mergeClasses()

💡 It is not possible to simply concatenate classes returned by useClasses().

There are cases where you need to merge classes from multiple useClasses calls.

To properly merge the classes, you need to use mergeClasses() function, which performs merge and deduplication of atomic classes generated by makeStyles().

import { mergeClasses, makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useClasses = makeStyles({
  blueBold: {
    color: 'blue',
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  },
  red: {
    color: 'red',
  },
});

function Component() {
  const classes = useClasses();

  const firstClassName = mergeClasses(classes.blueBold, classes.red); // { color: 'red', fontWeight: 'bold' }
  const secondClassName = mergeClasses(classes.red, classes.blueBold); // { color: 'blue', fontWeight: 'bold' }

  return (
    <>
      <div className={firstClassName} />
      <div className={secondClassName} />
    </>
  );
}

makeStaticStyles()

Creates styles attached to a global selector. Styles can be defined via objects:

import { makeStaticStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useStaticStyles = makeStaticStyles({
  '@font-face': {
    fontFamily: 'Open Sans',
    src: `url("/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
         url("/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff") format("woff")`,
  },
  body: {
    background: 'red',
  },

  /**
   * ⚠️ nested and pseudo selectors are not supported for this scenario via nesting
   *
   * Not supported:
   * .some {
   *   .class { ... },
   *   ':hover': { ... }
   * }
   *
   * Supported:
   * '.some.class': { ... }
   * '.some.class:hover': { ... }
   */
});

function App() {
  useStaticStyles();

  return <div />;
}

Or with string & arrays of strings/objects:

import { makeStaticStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useStaticStyles1 = makeStaticStyles('body { background: red; } .foo { color: green; }');
const useStaticStyles2 = makeStaticStyles([
  {
    '@font-face': {
      fontFamily: 'My Font',
      src: `url(my_font.woff)`,
    },
  },
  'html { line-height: 20px; }',
]);

function App() {
  useStaticStyles1();
  useStaticStyles2();

  return <div />;
}

Features support

📃 pseudo & class selectors, at-rules, global styles

makeStyles() supports pseudo, class selectors and at-rules.

import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useClasses = makeStyles({
  root: {
    ':active': { color: 'pink' },
    ':hover': { color: 'blue' },
    // :link, :focus, etc.

    '.foo': { color: 'black' },
    ':nth-child(2n)': { backgroundColor: '#fafafa' },

    '@media screen and (max-width: 992px)': { color: 'orange' },
    '@supports (display: grid)': { color: 'red' },
  },
});

Another useful feature is :global() selector, it allows connecting local styles with global selectors.

import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useClasses = makeStyles({
  root: {
    ':global(html[data-whatintent="mouse"])': { backgroundColor: 'yellow' },
    // outputs: html[data-whatintent="mouse"] .abcd { background-color: yellow }
  },
});

🎞 keyframes (animations)

keyframes are supported via animationName property that can be defined as an object or an array of objects:

import { makeStyles } from '@griffel/react';

const useClasses = makeStyles({
  root: {
    animationIterationCount: 'infinite',
    animationDuration: '3s',
    animationName: {
      from: { transform: 'rotate(0deg)' },
      to: { transform: 'rotate(360deg)' },
    },
  },
  array: {
    animationIterationCount: 'infinite',
    animationDuration: '3s',
    animationName: [
      {
        from: { transform: 'rotate(0deg)' },
        to: { transform: 'rotate(360deg)' },
      },
      {
        from: { height: '100px' },
        to: { height: '200px' },
      },
    ],
  },
});
