classStyles

Forked version of classnames to support inline styles generated from a group of objects and "class" names (really just root-level keys on the objects)

Rules

• classStyles can be bound to an object or an array of objects. These objects should have a { key: styleObject, otherKey: otherStyle } structure.
• Arguments are applied from left to right, overwriting defined styles as they are applied.
• String arguments are split by space (" ") and are applied in turn.
• Object arguments are applied as raw style objects.
• Arrays are recursed into, applying these rules to Strings, Objects and Arrays as they're encountered.
• Property values of undefined, null, "", true or false are not applied and will skip overwriting previously encountered properties.
  • { heading: { fontSize: "12pt" } } followed by
  • { heading: { fontSize: null, color: "black" } } will result in
  • { heading: { fontSize: "12pt", color: "black" } }

Usage

import classStyles from 'class-styles'
 
// Define style objects
const markupStyles = { container: { backgroundColor: 'white', margin: '0px auto' } },
  otherStyles = { container: { color: 'red' }, outer: { margin: '10px' } }
 
// Bind style objects to classStyles. Can be either an object, or an array of objects.
const cx = classStyles.bind([ markupStyles, otherStyles ])
 
cx('container outer')
// => { margin: '10px', backgroundColor: 'white', color: 'red' }
 
cx('container', { paddingBottom: '5px' })
// => { backgroundColor: 'white', margin: '0px auto', paddingBottom: '5px' }
 
cx({ padding: '10px' }, 'not-exist')
// => { padding: '10px' }
 
// or, without using .bind
classStyles.call([ markupStyles, otherStyles ], 'outer')
// => { margin: '10px' }
 

Installation

npm install class-styles --save

Alternatively, you can simply include index.js on your page with a standalone <script> tag and it will export a global classStyles method, or define the module if you are using RequireJS.
