Simple copycat of styled-props that allows you to set glam props in your glamorous-components without stress. Let's take this Button component :

const Button = glamorous.button(
  {
    fontSize: '1em',
    margin: '1em',
    padding: '1em',
    border: '2px solid palevioletred',
    borderRadius: '3px',
  },
  ({primary}) => primary ? { background: 'palevioletred' } : {},
  ({primary}) => ({
    color: primary ? 'white' : 'palevioletred'
  })
)

Now you can simply write

<Button>Hello</Button>
<Button primary>World!</Button>

But your application is probably much bigger than single button. And you want to keep your colors, sizes etc. in one place. So let's create simple styles.js file.

// styles.js

export const background = {
  primary: '#F5F5F5',
  danger: '#DD2C00',
  success: '#7CB342',
  info: '#BBDEFB',
}

export const color = {
  primary: '#263238',
  default: '#FAFAFA',
}

export const size = {
  padding: {
    small: 10,
    medium: 20,
    big: 30,
  },
  borderRadius: {
    small: 5,
    default: 10,
  },
}

IMPORTANT It is better to use singular forms for keys. In bind mode keys are used to set fallbacks so color is better than colors as a prop.

glam-props package exports single helper method called useGlamProps that provide glamPropsmethod.

Installation

yarn add glam-props

// or

npm install glam-props

Basic usage

import useGlamProps from 'glam-props'
import glamorous from 'glamorous'
import {
  background,
  color,
  size,
} from './styles.js'

const Button = glamorous.button(
  useGlamProps(glamProps => ({
    background: glamProps(background),
    color: glamProps(color),
    padding: glamProps(size.padding),
    borderRadius: glamProps(size.borderRadius)
  })),
  {
    fontSize: '1em',
    margin: '1em',
    border: '2px solid palevioletred'
  }
)

export default () => (
  <div>
    <Button primary small>This</Button>
    <Button info medium>is</Button>
    <Button danger big>so</Button>
    <Button success medium>cool!</Button>
  </div>
)

As you can see each prop can be mapped into specific value for selected css rule. If you need another combination, you just add it in styles.js.

Default values

Everything is based on props. As we know in React you can set defaultProps for each component. You can also use them to set default values for styles. For example:

const Button = glamorous.button(
  useGlamProps(glamProps => ({
    color: glamProps(color, 'color')
  }))
)

Button.defaultProps = {
  color: 'default'
}

If you will not provide primary or default property for Button component glamProps function will check value of color property and use it as a key in color map. In our case default color is color.white. This is quite cool because you can also set styles the old way:

<Button color="primary" size="big" />

Bind

When your component is full of dynamic styles you can use bindStyles helper to simplify things.

//styles.js
export default {
  color: {
    red: '#990000',
    white: '#ffffff',
    black: '#000000',
  },
  size: {
    small: 10,
    medium: 20,
    big: 30,
  }
}
import styles from './styles'
import { bindStyles } from 'glam-props'

export default glamorous.button(
  bindStyles(styles)(s => ({
    color: s.color,
    padding: s.size
  }))
)

Each key in s provides glamProps function. Also default value is set automaticly with key from map.

s.color === glamProps(styles.color, 'color')

Theme support

GlamProps also provides theme support. Just use a function instead of an object in your styles

//styles.js
export default {
  color: theme => ({
    red: theme.colors.danger,
    white: '#ffffff',
    black: '#000000',
  }),
  size: theme => ({
    small: theme.sizes.small,
    medium: 20,
    big: 30,
  })
}
