react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite

Interface to use react-with-styles with Aphrodite.

Import

import aphroditeInterface from 'react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite';

or when you need to disable !important:

import aphroditeInterface from 'react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite/no-important';

or when you want to support automatic style flipping for an RTL (right-to-left) language page

import aphroditeInterface from 'react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite/with-rtl';

Built-in RTL support

react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite now has built-in LTR/RTL context support in its with-rtl version. Specifically, it uses rtl-css-js to automatically flip styles (margin, padding, float, textAlign, etc.) that were written for an LTR page when the dir="rtl" attribute is applied. We recommend using react-with-direction's DirectionProvider at your top-level node to achieve best results.

For instance, if you were to write your styles as follows:

import ThemedStyleSheet from 'react-with-styles/lib/ThemedStyleSheet';
import aphroditeInterfaceWithRTL from 'react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite/with-rtl';

ThemedStyleSheet.registerInterface(aphroditeInterfaceWithRTL);

...

import { withStyles, css } from react-with-styles`

function MyComponent() {
  return <div {...css(styles.container)}>Hello World</div>;
}

export default withStyles(() => ({
  container: {
    background: '#fff',
    float: 'left',
  },
}))(MyComponent);

The generated css would look like:

.container_r5r4of {
  background: #fff !important;
}

[dir="ltr"] .container_r5r4of {
  float: left !important;
}

[dir="rtl"] .container_r5r4of {
  float: right !important;
}

If you used an inline style instead:

import { css } from react-with-styles`

export default function MyComponent() {
  return <div {...css({ background: '#fff', float: 'left' })}>Hello World</div>;
}

In the default case, this would map to a style={{ background: '#fff', float: 'left' }} on the div in question. However, in the withRTL case, we would convert these styles into a unique classname (inlineStyles_emgbm1 in this instance) and generate the following css instead:

.inlineStyles_emgbm1 {
  background: #fff !important;
}

[dir="ltr"] .inlineStyles_emgbm1 {
  float: left !important;
}

[dir="rtl"] .inlineStyles_emgbm1 {
  float: right !important;
}

This behavior is due to some details of what is known at the time of style creation/resolution. Because of this, inline styles will always be converted to classnames when there is a flippable style. This may be slower than the default implementation and may be a poor choice if you are attempting to animate something using JS. If you do not want this behavior or if this behavior breaks your usage, react-with-styles-interface-aphrodite/with-rtl also exports a resolveNoRTL method which is exported by react-with-styles as cssNoRTL. cssNoRTL matches the behavior in the default implementation (no automatic style flipping).
