insert a string of css into the <head>
suppose we've got some css:
body {
background-color: purple;
color: yellow;
}
and we want to bundle that css into a js file so that we can write an entirely self-contained module:
var fs = require('fs');
var insertCss = require('insert-css');
var css = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/style.css');
insertCss(css);
document.body.appendChild(document.createTextNode('HELLO CRUEL WORLD'));
compile with browserify using
brfs to inline the fs.readFile()
call:
$ browserify -t brfs insert.js > bundle.js
Now plop that bundle.js into a script tag and you'll have a self-contained js blob with inline css!
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
The style-loader package is used in conjunction with webpack to inject CSS into the DOM. It is more suitable for larger projects where CSS is bundled with JavaScript modules. Unlike insert-css, which is a standalone utility, style-loader is part of a build process and offers more advanced features like source maps and HMR (Hot Module Replacement).
JSS (JavaScript Style Sheets) is a library for writing CSS with JavaScript. It provides a more comprehensive solution for styling in JavaScript, including support for theming, nesting, and dynamic styles. Compared to insert-css, JSS offers a more structured and feature-rich approach to managing styles in JavaScript applications.
Emotion is a library designed for writing CSS styles with JavaScript. It offers both a styled-components-like API and a lower-level API for more control. Emotion provides powerful features like theming, server-side rendering, and source maps. It is more feature-rich compared to insert-css and is suitable for larger applications that require advanced styling capabilities.
