Features

  • Comprehensive grids, rows, columns, and more.
  • Responsive props add breakpoint-specific styles to your layout components.
  • CSS variable themes mean performance is never going to be an issue when users switch from light to dark mode.
  • Strong types even when you use an as prop. If it's a button, you're going to be limited to <button> HTML attributes!
  • Tiny (<3.5kB) as layout primitive libraries go

Quick start

Check out an example on CodeSandbox

import * as React from "react";
import { createStyles } from "@dash-ui/styles";
import { LayoutProvider, Box } from "@dash-ui/react-layout";

// These root variable tokens are required in order to access
// all features of @dash-ui/react-layout
const tokens = {
  // "color" is used for the "bg" prop on <Box>
  color: {
    primary: "#ee5b5f",
  },
  // "elevation" is used for the "elevation" prop on <Box>
  // It adds a box shadow to components
  elevation: {
    sm: "0 1px 2px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05)",
    md: "0 4px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 2px 4px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06)",
  },
  // "pad" is used for the "pad" prop
  // It adds padding to components
  pad: {
    sm: "0.5rem",
    md: "1rem",
    lg: "2rem",
  },
  // "gap" is used for the "gap" prop
  // It adds margins between child components
  gap: {
    sm: "0.25rem",
    md: "0.5rem",
    lg: "1rem",
  },
  // "radius" is used for the "radius" prop
  // It adds border-radius to components
  radius: {
    sm: "0.125rem",
    md: "0.25rem",
  },
};

const styles = createStyles({
  tokens,
});

const App = () => (
  <LayoutProvider
    styles={styles}
    mediaQueries={{
      sm: "only screen and (min-width: 0em)",
      md: "only screen and (min-width: 35em)",
      lg: "only screen and (min-width: 80em)",
    }}
  >
    <Component />
  </LayoutProvider>
);

const Component = () => (
  // Responsive props are opt-in. In order to use them
  // you have to define a "mediaQueries" prop on your
  // <LayoutProvider>
  <Box size={300} pad={{ sm: "md", md: "lg" }}>
    Hello world
  </Box>

Hooks

useResponsiveStyles()

Returns the responsive styles() used for creating responsive layout props.

Returns

// See https://github.com/dash-ui/responsive

TypeScript Support

Strongly typed media queries

To use media query types with @dash-ui/react-layout, you have to use the module declaration pattern:

Play with this example on CodeSandbox

const mediaQueries = {
  sm: "only screen and (min-width: 0em)",
  md: "only screen and (min-width: 35em)",
  lg: "only screen and (min-width: 80em)",
} as const;

type AppMediaQueries = typeof mediaQueries;

declare module "@dash-ui/react-layout" {
  export interface MediaQueries extends AppMediaQueries {}
}

// OR alternatively
declare module "@dash-ui/react-layout" {
  export interface MediaQueries {
    sm: string;
    md: string;
    lg: string;
  }
}

Strongly typed tokens

To use variable types with @dash-ui/react-layout, you have to use the module declaration pattern:

Play with this example on CodeSandbox

const tokens = {
  color: {
    red: "#c17",
  },
};

type AppTokens = typeof tokens;

declare module "@dash-ui/styles" {
  export interface DashTokens extends AppTokens {}
}

// OR alternatively
declare module "@dash-ui/styles" {
  export interface DashTokens {
    color: {
      red: string;
    };
  }
}
