The jss-plugin-template package is a plugin for JSS (JavaScript Style Sheets) that allows you to use template literals to define styles. This can make your styles more readable and maintainable by leveraging the power of JavaScript template literals.

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

Define styles using template literals

This feature allows you to define CSS styles using JavaScript template literals, making it easier to write and maintain your styles.

const styles = {
  button: `
    background: blue;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px;
  `
};

Dynamic styles with JavaScript expressions

You can use JavaScript expressions within template literals to create dynamic styles. This is useful for theming and other dynamic styling needs.

const primaryColor = 'blue';
const styles = {
  button: `
    background: ${primaryColor};
    color: white;
    padding: 10px;
  `
};

Nested styles

Template literals support nested styles, allowing you to define styles for pseudo-classes and child elements in a more readable way.

const styles = {
  button: `
    background: blue;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px;
    &:hover {
      background: darkblue;
    }
  `
};
