facepaint function

facepaint(selectors: Array<Selector>) : DynamicStyleFunction

Arguments

• breakpoints

  const mq = facepaint([
    '@media(min-width: 420px)',
    '@media(min-width: 920px)',
    '@media(min-width: 1120px)'
  ])
  

• options

  const mq = facepaint(
    [...],
    {
      literal: true|false,
      overlap: true|false
    }
  )
  

  • literal boolean (Default: false) - output should match arguments given to facepaint exactly

    By default, the first value in a value array is applied without a media query or selector and the rest of the values are applied as children of media queries or selectors. When literal is set to true the values given to a specific css property mapped 1:1 with the arguments provided to facepaint.

    Given the following:

    const mq = facepaint([
      '@media(min-width: 420px)'
      '@media(min-width: 920px)'
    ], { literal: true })
    
    const expandedStyles = mq({
      color: ['red', 'green']
    })
    

    The output of expandedStyles will be:

    { 
      '@media(min-width: 420px)': {
        color: 'red'
      },
      '@media(min-width: 920px)': {
        color: 'green'
      }
    }
    

    The output is missing any styles on the base style object because the values are mapped to the arguments supplied to facepaint literally.

  • overlap boolean (Default: false) - overlap values that occur in multiple media queries or slots

    Given the following:

    const mq = facepaint([
      '@media(min-width: 420px)'
    ], { overlap: true })
    
    const expandedStyles = mq({
      color: ['red', 'red']
    })
    

    The value of expandedStyles would not contain any media query breakpoints. This is an optimization to remove bytes from the final code.

    { color: 'red' }
    

    vs.

    { 
      color: 'red',
      '@media(min-width: 420px)': {
        color: 'red'
      }
    }
    

    The downside of enabling this option is that when attempting to overwrite the value of color in another style definition the expected media query will be missing.

    const style1 = css(mq({ color: ['red', 'red'] }))
    const style2 = css({ color: 'blue' })
    const composedStyles = css(style1, style2)
    

    style1's output will NOT contain the media query and value for red at 420px due to the overlap: true optimization.

    The developer that created composedStyles might expect the following output.

    { 
      color: 'blue',
      '@media(min-width: 420px)': {
        color: 'red'
      }
    }
    

    Due to our overlap: true optimization however, the final output will be the following.

    { color: 'blue' }
    

Returns

facepaint returns a function that can be exported and used throughout your app to dynamically style based on your provided selectors.

• The function accepts any number of arrays or objects as arguments.
• Nested arrays are flattened.
• Boolean, undefined, and null values are ignored.

Examples

• emotion
• styled-components
• pseudo selectors

emotion

CodeSandbox Demo

import { css } from 'emotion'
import facepaint from 'facepaint'

const mq = facepaint([
  '@media(min-width: 420px)',
  '@media(min-width: 920px)',
  '@media(min-width: 1120px)'
])

const myClassName = css(mq({
  backgroundColor: 'hotpink',
  textAlign: 'center',
  width: ['25%', '50%', '75%', '100%'],
  '& .foo': {
    color: ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'darkorchid'],
    '& img': {
      height: [10, 15, 20, 25]
    }
  }
}))

Note that the first value is considered a default value and is not a child of a media query at-rule.

The following css is generated.

.css-rbuh8g {
  background-color: hotpink;
  text-align: center;
  width: 25%;
}

@media (min-width:420px) {
  .css-rbuh8g {
    width: 50%;
  }
}

@media (min-width:920px) {
  .css-rbuh8g {
    width: 75%;
  }
}

@media (min-width:1120px) {
  .css-rbuh8g {
    width: 100%;
  }
}

.css-rbuh8g .foo {
  color: red;
}

@media (min-width:420px) {
  .css-rbuh8g .foo {
    color: green;
  }
}

@media (min-width:920px) {
  .css-rbuh8g .foo {
    color: blue;
  }
}

@media (min-width:1120px) {
  .css-rbuh8g .foo {
    color: darkorchid;
  }
}

.css-rbuh8g .foo img {
  height: 10px;
}

@media (min-width:420px) {
  .css-rbuh8g .foo img {
    height: 15px;
  }
}

@media (min-width:920px) {
  .css-rbuh8g .foo img {
    height: 20px;
  }
}

@media (min-width:1120px) {
