bss css m.mount

This example shows the use of Better Style Sheets known as BSS. It behaves like styled components, but way simpler.

Live Example #

JavaScript #

const Button = 'button' + b`
  bc tomato
  c white
  p 12 24
  fs 16
  tt uppercase
  border none
  br 3
  min-width 120
  cursor pointer
  transition 0.3 transform, 0.3 opacity
  bs 0 1 2 rgba(0,0,0,.35)
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
`.$hover`
  transform translateY(-1px)
  filter brightness(130%)
  bs 0 1 5 rgba(0,0,0,.35)
`.$active`
  filter brightness(100%)
  transform translateY(0)
  filter
  bs 0 1 0 rgba(0,0,0,.35)
`

m.mount(document.body, {
  view: () =>
    m(Button, {
      onclick: () => p('clicked')
    }, 'Test button')
})

As a prerequisite for this snippet, the latest version of Mithril.js framework is required. Beginners should have no problems following this example, that simply shows some basic recipies.

In this code sample Mithril.js' m.mount API method is use, besides the basic hyperscript function m().
