CSS Blocks Integration for Glimmer Applications
The css-blocks Rewriter and Analyzer for Glimmer templates.
Installation
yarn add @css-blocks/glimmer
or
npm install --save-dev @css-blocks/glimmer
Usage
This integration for css-blocks with Glimmer creates a convention where every component has an associated css-block. The classes and states of that block are exposed by default to the template. Other blocks are exposed to the template using the
@block-reference
at-rule from within the stylesheet.Template Syntax
Given the following CSS Block definition:
@block-reference grid from "./grid.block.css"; :scope { block-name: my-component; / ... / } [state|loading] { / ... / } .sidebar { / ... / } .sidebar[state|collapsed] { / ... / } .main { / ... / } .recommended { / ... / }
.one-fifth { / ... / } .one-fifth[state|gutter-right] { / ... / } .four-fifths { / ... / }
We can style a glimmer template like so:
<div state:loading={{isLoading}}> <aside class="sidebar grid.one-fifth" state:collapsed state:grid.gutter-right> </aside> <article class="{{style-if isRecommended 'recommended' 'main'}} grid.four-fifths"> </article> </div>
Of note here:
:scope
class are automatically applied to the root element of the component (in this case:div
).grid
)class
attributes are the CSS Blocks specific{{style-if}}
and{{style-unless}}
helpers. Otherwise, a build time error is thrown.Creating an Analyzer
The default Analyzer performs a transitive analysis by traversing the component hierarchy as well as the block's dependencies on other blocks. This analysis can be provided to the css-blocks compiler and optimizer to remove dead css and enable powerful optimizations.
import as path from "path"; import { Project, Rewriter, HandlebarsTransitiveStyleAnalyzer as Analyzer } from "@css-blocks/glimmer"; import projectConfig from "./projectConfig"; let projectDir = path.resolve(__dirname, ".."); let project = new Project(projectDir, projectConfig); let analyzer = new Analyzer(project, "my-app-component"); analyzer.analyze().then((analysis) => { console.log(analysis.serialize(projectDir)); });
Glimmer Project Layout for CSS Blocks
You must add a new
stylesheet
type to your project so that every component has an associated CSS block. This means you must declare a new type in thetypes
section and add"stylesheet"
to the component types.Example:
const glimmerProjectConfiguration = { types: { application: { definitiveCollection: 'main' }, component: { definitiveCollection: 'components' }, helper: { definitiveCollection: 'components' }, renderer: { definitiveCollection: 'main' }, template: { definitiveCollection: 'components' }, stylesheet: { definitiveCollection: 'components' } }, collections: { main: { types: ['application', 'renderer'] }, components: { group: 'ui', types: ['component', 'template', 'helper', 'stylesheet'], defaultType: 'component', privateCollections: ['utils'] } } }
Note: at this time the default block file for a component must be named
stylesheet.css
-- the standard naming convention of.block.css
does not work.Rewriting Templates
After analyzing templates and compiling & optimizing the CSS blocks that are used, the glimmer template must be rewritten to use the right classnames. Glimmer accepts AST plugins during the precompilation step.
Here's an example script for how to analyze and rewrite a single template. Integration with your specific build system will be required.
import * as path from "path"; import { StyleMapping } from "@css-blocks/core"; import { Project, Rewriter, RewriterOptions, HandlebarsStyleAnalyzer as Analyzer, } from "@css-blocks/glimmer"; import { precompile } from "@glimmer/compiler"; import projectConfig from "./projectConfig"; let projectDir = path.resolve(__dirname, ".."); let project = new Project(projectDir, projectConfig); let analyzer = new Analyzer(project, "my-app-component"); analyzer.analyze().then((analysis) => { let template = project.templateFor("my-app-component"); let options = { meta: {}, plugins: { ast: [Rewriter] }, cssBlocks: { styleMapping: StyleMapping.fromAnalysis(analysis) } }; let compiledFile = precompile(template.string, options); });
To Do
:scope { block-name: name-of-component; }
is not required.
