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;
    }
  `
};
