Getting Started

``sh
yarn add @svebass/flexbox
`

`svelte




Box 1


Box 2


`

$3

The Box and Flex components both accept a sx prop that works with no additional setup required.
The sx prop is similar to Emotion's css prop, but allows you to use values derived from the theme object.

Flexbox follows the [Theme Specification][], which means that any theme created for use with [Theme UI][], [Styled System][], or other similar libraries will work out-of-the-box.
This allows you to share design constraints for typography, color, and layout throughout your application using a theming context.

`svelte
sx={{
p: 4,
color: 'primary',
}}
/>
`

Note: to opt-out of theme-based styles, use the css prop instead, which will not transform values.

$3


Passing an as prop and a tagname will convert the resulting container into the tag. Until dynamic tags are supported in Svelte, only a select few tags are supported:
* div
* button
* a
* img

Theming

Because Flexbox follows the [Theme Specification][], all themes built for use with [Styled System][], [Theme UI][], or other related libraries are compatible with Flexbox.

$3

Adding a theme to your Svelte app is super simple with Svelte's context API.

`svelte
// Parent.svelte



`

`svelte
// Child.svelte

sx={{
p: 4,
bg: 'primary',
}}>
Hello

`

$3


You can also pass a theme directly as a prop:
`svelte

theme={theme}
sx={{
p: 4,
bg: 'primary',
}}
>
Hello

`

Variants

Flexbox components also accept a variant prop, which allows you to define commonly used styles,
such as cards, badges, and CSS grid layouts, in your theme object for reuse.

Add a variants object to your theme and include any variants as style objects. These styles can reference other values in your theme such as colors, typographic styles, and more.

`js
// example theme
export default {
colors: {
text: '#000',
background: '#fff',
primary: '#07c',
},
radii: {
default: 4,
},
shadows: {
card: '0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, .125)',
},
variants: {
card: {
p: 3,
borderRadius: 'default',
bg: 'white',
boxShadow: 'card',
},
badge: {
color: 'white',
bg: 'primary',
p: 1,
borderRadius: 'default',
},
},
}
`

To apply a variant to your component, pass the name to the variant prop.

`jsx
Card
Badge
`

Responsive Styles

Use array values to quickly and ergonomically add mobile-first responsive styles to specific properties.
This works on all style props and the sx prop.
See the [Styled System][] docs for more.

`jsx
// 100% width at the smallest viewport width
// 50% width at the next breakpoint
// 25% width at the next breakpoint

`

You can customize the widths used for each breakpoint by defining a theme.breakpoints array in your theme.
