Injecting CSS Rules

This feature allows you to inject CSS rules dynamically. The `ruleSheet` function takes a callback that will be called with each CSS rule, allowing you to handle it as needed.

const stylis = require('stylis');
const ruleSheet = require('stylis-rule-sheet');

const insertRule = ruleSheet((rule) => {
  console.log(rule); // This will log the CSS rule
});

stylis.use(insertRule);
stylis('.class', 'color: red;');

Handling Nested Rules

This feature allows you to handle nested CSS rules. The `ruleSheet` function will be called with each nested rule, making it easier to manage complex styles.

const stylis = require('stylis');
const ruleSheet = require('stylis-rule-sheet');

const insertRule = ruleSheet((rule) => {
  console.log(rule); // This will log the nested CSS rule
});

stylis.use(insertRule);
stylis('.parent', '.child { color: blue; }');
