Stylable Integration

This package contains build-time utilities for integrating Stylable into your project.

The following are included:

• CLI for compiling .st.css files to .js files, each exporting a runtime Stylable stylesheet.
• Webpack loader and plugin, for web applications using webpack as their build system.
• Node.js requires a hook which provides .st.css support for Node's native require(...) function.

Getting started

Install stylable-integration as a dev dependency in your local project.

Install using npm:

npm install stylable-integration --save-dev

Or install using yarn:

yarn add stylable-integration --dev

Webpack

Both a webpack loader and a plugin are exported via two special entry points.

The loader, exported via stylable-integration/webpack-loader.

The plugin, exported via stylable-integration/webpack-plugin.

Both must be used in the webpack configuration with the same transformation options as follows:

const StylablePlugin = require('stylable-integration/webpack-plugin');
...
{
    module: {
        rules: [
            StylablePlugin.rule(),
            // in order to load css assets from bundle we need the url loader configured.
            // example configuration
            {
                test: /\.(png|jpg|gif|svg)$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'url-loader',
                        options: {
                            limit: 8192
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    plugins: [
        new StylablePlugin({ injectBundleCss: true /* dev mode */})
    ]
}
 

The transformation options is an object, with the following default values:

{
    // should inject css bundle to the document head when run browsers
    injectBundleCss: false,
 
    // the name of the css bundle
    filename: '[name].css',
 
    // delimiter used when namespacing selectors
    nsDelimiter: '💠'
}

CLI

Once this package is installed, you can use a local CLI command to run the Stylable compiler.

Use the stc command to enable compiling .st.css files to their matching .js files, exporting a Stylable runtime stylesheet.

$ stc --help
Options:
  --rootDir      root directory of project                        [default: cwd]
  --srcDir       source directory relative to root                [default: "."]
  --outDir       target directory relative to root                [default: "."]
  --indexFile    filename of the generated index       [default: "index.st.css"]
  --ext          extension of stylable css files            [default: ".st.css"]
  --log          verbose log                                    [default: false]
  --diagnostics  verbose diagnostics                            [default: false]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

By default, stc runs on the current working directory, compiling each .st.css source file to a .js file in the same directory.

For example, the file:

/project/src/components/button/button.st.css

is compiled into:

/project/src/components/button/button.st.css.js.

If your project uses transpilation into an output directory, then you should provide srcDir and outDir parameters.

A common use case of this utility is running it via an npm script in the project's package.json as follows:

{
    "name": "my-project",
    ...
    "scripts": {
        "build:style": "stc --srcDir=src --outDir=lib --diagnostics",
        ...
    }
}

Node.js require hook

When running code directly in Node.js, any require(...) calls are handled by Node's own module system.

By default, Node supports the require() function for .js and .json files, but allows hooks to attach to additional file extensions.

This package exposes a special entry point that registers .css file handling, transpiling it for Node.js on-the-fly.

Note that no css will be actually applied this will only generate the js module.

Applying the require hook:

To apply the hook, use the dedicated entry point:

import {attachHook} from 'stylable-integration/require-hook';
attachHook({});

Or, if using CommonJS:

const {attachHook} = require('stylable-integration/require-hook');
attachHook({});

Registering:

If you prefer applying it right on import , you might want to use stylable-integration/require instead:

import 'stylable-integration/require';

Or, if using CommonJS:

require('stylable-integration/require');

Testing frameworks:

The require hook can also be used to register the handling in tools like Mocha:

$ mocha --compilers css:stylable-integration/require [test file]
