This package allows users to build accessbile and performant components without worrying about the "small stuff": styling the UI.

Headless Styles General Function

The headless-styles package relies on the use of the Font & Normalize Setup provided from the design-tokens package.

Ultimately, headless-styles is just a library that is a bunch of functions that return Objects. Nothing more, nothing less. These functions return styles via classes (CSS) or style Objects (CSS-in-JS) and a11y attributes.

⚠️ Headless-styles does and should not own advanced logic for components. At the base level, this library is meant to own presentational responsibilities. For advanced component logic (i.e state management, etc.), see react-utils.

Install

This project uses pnPm so there are no setup commands needed. If you get any errors, you may need to run an initial pnpm install or ensure you are using Node >= 18.
