Gatsby Theme Fela

======

This is a Gatsby theme to extend your awesome website with Fela.

Read more about Gatsby themes: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/themes/

Theme

This theme lets you use Fela out of the box, without having to worry about implementation details.

All you have to do is to include it in your core gatsby-config.js

Install

yarn add gatsby-theme-fela
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: ['gatsby-theme-fela'],
};

Overriding and customisation

You can override the default fela settings, theme etc. by using theme shadowing.

Learn more about shadowing here: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/themes/shadowing/

Especially fonts and style are most likely to be overriden while customising your theme.

Adding custom static styles

Lets say you want to add custom styles file layout.css

  1. Create a following folder in your project src/gatsby-them-fela/styles
  2. Inside that folder create file index.js
// src/gatsby-them-fela/styles/index.js
import layout from '!css-loader!./layout.css';

// you can include multiple files and include them in this array
export default [layout];

Gatsby theme already contains reset.css that you can use right away. Or override it using shadowing feature.

Adding custom fonts

Adding fonts works the same way as adding styles.

  1. Create a following folder in your project src/gatsby-them-fela/fonts
  2. Inside that folder create file index.js
// src/gatsby-them-fela/fonts/namedKeys.js
import SpaceMono from './SpaceMono-Regular.ttf';

// you can include multiple fonts and include them in this array
export default [
  {
    name: 'SpaceMono',
    files: [SpaceMono],
    options: {
      fontStyle: 'normal',
      fontWeight: '400',
      fontDisplay: 'swap',
    },
  },
];

Fela renderer configuration (Plugins and Enhancers)

We are going to support adding custom plugins and enhancers in the next releases. For now you can use already built-in features such as:

Adding custom named keys

Custom named keys allows you to write more readable code, by defining key names for media queries.

You can write your own keys following these steps:

  1. Create a following folder in your project src/gatsby-them-fela/config
  2. Inside that folder create file namedKeys.js

Setup:

// namedKeys.js
const namedKeys = {
  desktopFullHD: '@media (min-width: 1920px)',
  desktopLarge: '@media (min-width: 1440px)',
  desktop: '@media (min-width: 1024px)',

  tablet: '@media (min-width: 768px)',
  tabletMax: '@media (max-width: 1023px)',
};

export default namedKeys;

Usage:

export const container = () => {
  return {
    display: block,

    // @media (min-width: 1920px)
    desktopFullHD: {
      display: 'flex',
    },
  };
};

Basic usage

There are many ways of using fela, you can read more about them here

Here in Ackee prefer this way:

Say you want to style a Header with Fela.

// components/Header/index.js
import { connect as connectFela } from 'react-fela';
import Header from './Header';
import * as styles from './Header.styles';

export default connectFela(styles)(Header);
// components/Header/Header.jsx
const Header = ({ styles }) => <h1 class={styles.header}>Hello World!</h1>;
// components/Header/Header.styles.js
export const header = () => ({
  color: 'tomato',
});
    // anywhere in your app

    import Header from 'components/Header'

    const someComponent = () => (
        <Header>
    )
