jss-plugin-expand

What is jss-plugin-expand?

The jss-plugin-expand package is a plugin for JSS (JavaScript Style Sheets) that allows you to write more concise and readable styles by expanding shorthand properties into their longhand equivalents. This can simplify the process of writing styles and make your code more maintainable.

What are jss-plugin-expand's main functionalities?

Shorthand properties expansion

This feature allows you to use shorthand properties like padding and margin, which will be expanded into their longhand equivalents. For example, 'padding: 10px 20px' will be expanded to 'padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 20px;'.

{
  "button": {
    "padding": "10px 20px",
    "margin": "5px 10px"
  }
}

Array values for properties

This feature allows you to use arrays to define properties, which can be more readable and easier to manage. For example, 'border: ["1px", "solid", "black"]' will be expanded to 'border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: black;'.

{
  "container": {
    "border": ["1px", "solid", "black"]
  }
}

Multiple values for properties

This feature allows you to specify multiple values for a single property using an array. For example, 'background: ["url(image.png)", "no-repeat", "center"]' will be expanded to 'background-image: url(image.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;'.

{
  "box": {
    "background": ["url(image.png)", "no-repeat", "center"]
  }
}
