aphrodite-simple
Advanced tools
Support for colocating your styles with your JavaScript component.
:hover, :active, etc. without needing to
store hover or active state in components. :visited works just fine too.@font-face detection and insertion.Aphrodite is distributed via npm:
npm install --save aphrodite
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, css } from 'aphrodite';
class App extends Component {
render() {
return <div>
<span className={css(styles.red)}>
This is red.
</span>
<span className={css(styles.hover)}>
This turns red on hover.
</span>
<span className={css(styles.small)}>
This turns red when the browser is less than 600px width.
</span>
<span className={css(styles.red, styles.blue)}>
This is blue.
</span>
<span className={css(styles.blue, styles.small)}>
This is blue and turns red when the browser is less than
600px width.
</span>
</div>;
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
red: {
backgroundColor: 'red'
},
blue: {
backgroundColor: 'blue'
},
hover: {
':hover': {
backgroundColor: 'red'
}
},
small: {
'@media (max-width: 600px)': {
backgroundColor: 'red',
}
}
});
To perform server-side rendering, make a call to StyleSheetServer.renderStatic, which takes a callback. Do your rendering inside of the callback and return the generated HTML. All of the calls to css() inside of the callback will be collected and the generated css as well as the generated HTML will be returned.
To perform rehydration, call StyleSheet.rehydrate with the list of generated class names returned to you by StyleSheetServer.renderStatic.
As an example:
import { StyleSheetServer } from 'aphrodite';
// Contains the generated html, as well as the generated css and some
// rehydration data.
var {html, css} = StyleSheetServer.renderStatic(() => {
return ReactDOMServer.renderToString(<App/>);
});
// Return the base HTML, which contains your rendered HTML as well as a
// simple rehydration script.
return `
<html>
<head>
<style data-aphrodite>${css.content}</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='root'>${html}</div>
<script src="./bundle.js"></script>
<script>
StyleSheet.rehydrate(${JSON.stringify(css.renderedClassNames)});
ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'));
</script>
</body>
</html>

Creating custom font faces is a special case. Typically you need to define a global @font-face rule. In the case of aphrodite we only want to insert that rule if it's actually being referenced by a class that's in the page. We've made it so that the fontFamily property can accept a font-face object (either directly or inside an array). A global @font-face rule is then generated based on the font definition.
const coolFont = {
fontFamily: "CoolFont",
fontStyle: "normal",
fontWeight: "normal",
src: "url('coolfont.woff2') format('woff2')"
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
headingText: {
fontFamily: coolFont,
fontSize: 20
},
bodyText: {
fontFamily: [coolFont, "sans-serif"]
fontSize: 12
}
});
Aphrodite will ensure that the global @font-face rule for this font is only inserted once, no matter how many times it's referenced.
Aphrodite was built with React in mind, but does not depend on React. Here, you can see it used with Web Components:
import { StyleSheet, css } from 'aphrodite';
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
red: {
backgroundColor: 'red'
}
});
class App extends HTMLElement {
attachedCallback() {
this.innerHTML = `
<div class="${css(styles.red)}">
This is red.
</div>
`;
}
}
document.registerElement('my-app', App);
Aphrodite will automatically attempt to create a <style> tag in the document's <head> element to put its generated styles in. Aphrodite will only generate one <style> tag and will add new styles to this over time. If you want to control which style tag Aphrodite uses, create a style tag yourself with the data-aphrodite attribute and Aphrodite will use that instead of creating one for you.
To speed up injection of styles, Aphrodite will automatically try to buffer writes to this <style> tag so that minimum number of DOM modifications happen.
Aphrodite uses asap to schedule buffer flushing. If you measure DOM elements' dimensions in componentDidMount or componentDidUpdate, you can use setTimeout function to ensure all styles are injected.
import { StyleSheetServer, css } from 'aphrodite';
class Component extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div ref="root" className={css(styles.div)} />;
}
componentDidMount() {
// At this point styles might not be injected yet.
this.refs.root.offsetHeight; // 0 or 10
setTimeout(() => {
this.refs.root.offsetHeight; // 10
}, 0);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
div: {
height: 10,
},
});
When assigning a string to the content property it requires double or single quotes in CSS.
Therefore with Aphrodite you also have to provide the quotes within the value string for content to match how it will be represented in CSS.
As an example:
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
large: {
':after': {
content: '"Aphrodite"',
},
},
},
small: {
':before': {
content: "'Aphrodite'",
},
},
});
The generated css will be:
.large_im3wl1:after {
content: "Aphrodite" !important;
}
.small_ffd5jf:before {
content: 'Aphrodite' !important;
}
