Stylance-cli

Stylance-cli is the build tool for Stylance.

It reads your css module files and transforms them in the following way:

• Adds a hash as suffix to every classname found. (.class will become .class-63gi2cY)
• Removes any instance of :global(contents) while leaving contents intact.

Installation

Install stylance cli:

cargo install stylance-cli

Usage

Run stylance cli:

stylance ./path/to/crate/dir/ --output-file ./bundled.scss

The first argument is the path to the directory containing the Cargo.toml of your package/crate.

This will find all the files ending with .module.scss and .module.cssand bundle them into ./bundled.scss, all classes will be modified to include a hash that matches the one the import_crate_style! macro produces.

Resulting ./bundled.scss:

.header-f45126d {
  background-color: red;
}

By default stylance cli will only look for css modules inside the crate's ./src/ folder. This can be configured.

Use output-dir for better SASS compatibility

If you plan to use the output of stylance in a SASS project (by importing it from a .scss file), then I recommend using the output-dir option instead of output-file.

stylance ./path/to/crate/dir/ --output-dir ./styles/

This will create the folder ./styles/stylance/.

When using --output-dir (or output_dir in package.metadata.stylance) stylance will not bundle the transformed module files, instead it will create a "stylance" folder in the specified output-dir path which will contain all the transformed css modules inside as individual files.

This "stylance" folder also includes an _index.scss file that imports all the transformed scss modules.

You can then use @use "path/to/the/folder/stylance" to import the css modules into your sass project.

Watching for changes

During development it is convenient to use sylance cli in watch mode:

stylance --watch --output-file ./bundled.scss ./path/to/crate/dir/

The stylance process will then watch any .module.css and .module.scss files for changes and automatically rebuild the output file.

Configuration

Stylance configuration lives inside the Cargo.toml file of your crate.

All configuration settings are optional.

[package.metadata.stylance]

# output_file
# When set, stylance-cli will bundle all css module files
# into by concatenating them and put the result in this file.
output_file = "./styles/bundle.scss"

# output_dir
# When set, stylance-cli will create a folder named "stylance" inside
# the output_dir directory.
# The stylance folder will be populated with one file per detected css module
# and one _all.scss file that contains one `@use "file.module-hash.scss";` statement
# per module file.
# You can use that file to import all your modules into your main scss project.
output_dir = "./styles/"

# folders
# folders in which stylance cli will look for css module files.
# defaults to ["./src/"]
folders = ["./src/", "./styles/"]

# extensions
# files ending with these extensions will be considered to be
# css modules by stylance cli and will be included in the output
# bundle
# defaults to [".module.scss", ".module.css"]
extensions = [".module.scss", ".module.css"]
