bem-react-classname

BEM class names generator designed to use with React.

bem-react-classname is a small and simple library, created to simplify usage of BEM class names methodology with react.

import { createCn } from 'bem-react-classname';
import React from 'react';

class Button extends React.Component {
    cn = createCn('button');
    
    render() {
        return (
            <button className={ this.cn({ primary: true }) }>
                <span className={ this.cn('icon', { size: 's' }) } />
                { this.props.children }
            </button>
        );
    }
}

ReactDOM.render(<Button className="myName">Click me!</Button>);

/*
<button class="button button_primary myName">
    <span class="button__icon button__icon_size_s"></span>
    Click me!
</button>
*/

It also works with functional components

import { createCn } from 'bem-react-classname';
import React from 'react';

const Button = ({ size, className, children }) => {
    const cn = createCn('button', className);
    
    return (
        <button className={ cn({ size }) }>
            <span className={ cn('icon', { size }) } />
            { children }
        </button>
    );
};

ReactDOM.render(<Button className="myName" size="s">Click me!</Button>);

/*
<button class="button button_size_s myName">
    <span class="button__icon button__icon_size_s"></span>
    Click me!
</button>
*/

If you don't need to add external class name to functional component you can simplify it:

import { createCn } from 'bem-react-classname';
import React from 'react';

const cn = createCn('button');
const Button = ({ size, children }) => (
  <button className={ cn({ size }) }>
      <span className={ cn('icon', { size }) } />
      { children }
  </button>
);

ReactDOM.render(<Button size="s">Click me!</Button>);

/*
<button class="button button_size_s">
    <span class="button__icon button__icon_size_s"></span>
    Click me!
</button>
*/

You can also use it with themes:

import { createCn, createTheme } from 'bem-react-classname';

enum Themes {
    dark = 'dark',
    light = 'light'
}

const { ThemeProvider, withTheme } = createTheme(Themes.dark);

class Button extends React.Component {
    const cn = createCn('button');
    
    render() {
        return (
            <button className={ this.cn() }>
                { this.props.children }
            </button>
        );
    }
}

const ThemedButton = withTheme(Button);

ReactDOM.render(
    <ThemeProvider value={ Themes.light }>
        <ThemedButton>
            Click me!
        </ThemedButton>
    </ThemeProvider>
);

/*
<button class="button button_theme_light">
    Click me!
</button>
*/

Themes will also work with functional components:

import { createCn, createTheme } from 'bem-react-classname';

enum Themes {
    dark = 'dark',
    light = 'light'
}

const { ThemeProvider, withTheme } = createTheme(Themes.dark);
const Button = withTheme(({ children, className, theme }) => {
    const cn = createCn('button', className, theme);
    
    return (
        <button className={ cn() }>
            { children }
        </button>
    );
});

ReactDOM.render(
    <ThemeProvider value={ Themes.light }>
        <Button>
            Click me!
        </Button>
    </ThemeProvider>
);

/*
<button class="button button_theme_light">
    Click me!
</button>
*/
