Aesthetic

Aesthetic is a powerful type-safe, framework agnostic, CSS-in-JS library for styling components, whether it be with plain objects, importing style sheets, or simply referencing external class names. Simply put, Aesthetic is an abstraction layer for the compilation of styles via third-party libraries, all the while providing customizability, theming, additional features, and a unified syntax.

import aesthetic from 'aesthetic';
import AphroditeAdapter from 'aesthetic-adapter-aphrodite';
import { Theme } from './types';
 
aesthetic.configure({
  adapter: new AphroditeAdapter(),
  theme: 'light',
});
 
// Register a theme
aesthetic.registerTheme<Theme>('light', {
  unit: 8,
});
 
// Register a style sheet definition for a component
aesthetic.registerStyleSheet<Theme>('button', ({ unit }) => ({
  button: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    display: 'inline-block',
    padding: unit,
  },
}));
 
// Parse the styles and generate CSS class names
const styles = aesthetic.createStyleSheet('button');
const className = aesthetic.transformStyles(styles.button);

React

Supports both an HOC and hook styled React API!

import React from 'react';
import { useStyles } from 'aesthetic-react';
 
export type Props = {
  children: React.ReactNode;
};
 
export default function Button({ children }: Props) {
  const [styles, cx] = useStyles(({ unit }) => ({
    button: {
      textAlign: 'center',
      display: 'inline-block',
      padding: unit,
    },
  }));
 
  return (
    <button type="button" className={cx(styles.button)}>
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}
