Styling your Components

Macaron

Edit this page

Macaron is compile-time CSS-in-JS library that offers type safety.

Installation

  1. Install and set up the macaron plugin for your bundler:
  1. Within your vite.config.js folder, add the macaron plugin prior to other plugins:
import { macaronVitePlugin } from "@macaron-css/vite";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";


export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    macaronVitePlugin(),
    // other plugins
  ],
});

Usage

  1. Import styled from @macaron-css/solid and create a styled component:
// button.tsx
import { styled } from "@macaron-css/solid";


const Button = styled("button", {});
  1. Add styles that will be applied to the components by default:
import { styled } from "@macaron-css/solid";


const Button = styled("button", {
  base: {
    backgroundColor: "red",
    borderRadius: "10px",
  },
});

Variants can be added using the variants key:

import { styled } from "@macaron-css/solid";


const Button = styled("button", {
  base: {
    backgroundColor: "red",
    borderRadius: "10px",
  },
  variants: {
    color: {
      violet: {
        backgroundColor: "violet",
      },
      gray: {
        backgroundColor: "gray",
      },
    },
  },
});

Additionally, the defaultVariants feature is set to variants by default. This can be overridden at the time of usage:

import { styled } from "@macaron-css/solid";


const Button = styled("button", {
  base: {
    backgroundColor: "red",
    borderRadius: "10px",
  },
  variants: {
    color: {
      violet: {
        backgroundColor: "violet",
      },
      gray: {
        backgroundColor: "gray",
      },
    },
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    color: "blue",
  },
});

These components can be used like any other Solid component, with type-safe props derived from your variants. For more information on how to use macaron, visit their documentation.
