Styling extension for OCaml.

Sx is a just-in-time CSS generator based on the Tailwind API.

module Button = {
  @react.component
  let make = () => {
    <button
      className=%sx(`p-2 bg-white border(1 purple-700) text(lg center black) hover:(bg-purple-700 text-white)`)>
      {React.string("Click!")}
    </button>
  }
}

The %sx(...) ppx will generate a static CSS file during the build phase with the following content:

.bg-white {
  background-color: #fff;
}
.border-1 {
  border-width: 1px;
}
.border-purple-700 {
  border-color: #6b46c1;
}
.hover\:bg-purple-700:hover {
  background-color: #6b46c1;
}
.hover\:text-white:hover {
  color: #fff;
}
.p-2 {
  padding: 0.5rem;
}
.text-black {
  color: #000;
}
.text-center {
  text-align: center;
}
.text-lg {
  font-size: 1.125rem;
}

Installation

Install the package:

$ npm i @hyper-systems/rescript-sx@nightly

Enable the ppx in bsconfig.json:

  "ppx-flags": [
    "sx_ppx --output=sx.gen.css"
  ]

This will generate a static CSS file called sx.gen.css that can be loaded directly in your HTML.
