`spacing(...values, options?)`

Generates a space-separated string of values, following CSS conventions.

	Description	Default
`values`	A list of numbers or strings.	—
`options.baseValue`	Base value used to calculate the spacing units.	`1rem`
`options.ratio`	A ratio of the base value used as a spacing unit.	`1/4`
`options.separator`	Character used to separate the fragments—`" "` or `","`.	`" "`

import { spacing } from "bakeware";

spacing(1, 2);
// "0.25rem 0.5rem"

spacing(1, 2, { ratio: 2 });
// "0.5rem 1rem"

spacing(1, 2, { baseValue: "16px" });
// "4px 8px"

// Comma-separated declarations
`translate3d(${spacing(1, 2, 3, { separator: "," })})`;
// "translate3d(0.25rem,0.5rem,0.75rem)"

`verticalRhythm(signature, options?)`

Creates a vertical rhythm system based on a given signature.

	Description	Default
`signature`	An object `{ lineHeight, spacingRatio }` or a string in the format `"${number}/${number}"`.	—
`options.typeScale`	`typeScale` configuration—when set, the returned object includes a `fontSize` method.	`undefined`
`options.whitespaceRatio`	Minimum whitespace between the line height and the actual text, expressed as a ratio between `0` and `1`.	`0`

import { verticalRhythm } from "bakeware";

const { spacing } = verticalRhythm({ lineHeight: 1.5, spacingRatio: 1/4 });

spacing(1, 2);
// "0.375rem 0.75rem"

import { verticalRhythm } from "bakeware";

const { spacing } = verticalRhythm("4/6");

spacing(1, 2);
// "0.375rem 0.75rem"

import { verticalRhythm } from "bakeware";

const { fontSize, spacing } = verticalRhythm("2/3", {
  typeScale: "geometrical.goldenRatio",
  whitespaceRatio: 0.2,
});

spacing(1, 2);
// "0.75rem 1.5rem"

fontSize(0);

`normalize(layer?)`

CSS normalization based on Normalize.css and recent discussions across the web. It focuses on minimal impact, resetting only the styles strictly necessary while adding a few convenience styles from modern CSS specs.

`transition(...).toString()`

Returns the CSS transition string.

import { transition } from "bakeware";

transition("opacity").toString()
// "opacity 0s"

`createTransition(options?)`

Generates a transition function with its own default options—see transition above for the available options.

import { createTransition, transition } from "bakeware";

const customTransition = createTransition({ duration: 200 });

const fade = keyframes({
  from: {
    opacity: 0,
  },
  to: {
    opacity: 1,
  },
});

const example = style({

    truetype: "./helvetica.ttf",
    woff2: { url: "./helvetica.woff2" },
  },
});
// local("Helvetica"),url("./helvetica.otf") format(opentype) tech("variations"),url("./helvetica.ttf") format(truetype),url("./helvetica.woff2") format(woff2)

// Can also be used with an array of strings
fontFace([

      'url("./helvetica.ttf") format(truetype)',
      'url("./helvetica.woff2") format(woff2)',
    ],
  },
]);

// Can also be used like vanilla-extract original function
fontFace([
  {

  },
]);

`breakpoints(value)`

	Description	Default
`value`	—	—

Generates a set of media query strings for a given collection of breakpoints.

import { style } from "@vanilla-extract/css";
import { breakpoints } from "bakeware";

const breakpoint = breakpoints({
  sm: "600px",
  md: "900px",
  lg: "1200px",
});
// {
//   sm: "(min-width: 600px)",
//   md: "(min-width: 900px)",
//   lg: "(min-width: 1200px)",
//   not: {
//     sm: "not all and (min-width: 600px)",
//     md: "not all and (min-width: 900px)",
//     lg: "not all and (min-width: 1200px)",
//   },
// }

style({
  "@media": {
    // >= 900px
    [breakpoint.md]: {
      display: "flex",
    },

    // < 900px
    [breakpoint.not.md]: {
      padding: "1rem",
    },
  },
});
// @media (min-width: 900px) {
//   display: flex;
// }
//
// @media not all and (min-width: 900px) {
//   padding: 1rem;
// }

// It accepts min, max and mediaType
breakpoints({
  mobile: { min: "240px", max: "479px" },
  tablet: { min: "480px", max: "1023px" },
  desktop: { min: "1024px" },
  print: { mediaType: "print" },
});
// {
//   mobile: "(min-width: 240px) and (max-width: 479px)",
//   tablet: "(min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 1023px)",
//   desktop: "(min-width: 1024px)",
//   print: "print",
//   not: {
//     mobile: "not all and (min-width: 240px) and (max-width: 479px)",
//     tablet: "not all and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 1023px)",
//     desktop: "not all and (min-width: 1024px)",
//     print: "not print"
//   }
// }

`createTheme(themeContract?, tokens, debugId?)`

Extends vanilla-extract's createTheme, exposing the vars values. Fully compatible with the original implementation.

	Description	Default
`themeContract`	—	—
`tokens`	—	—
`debugId`	—	—

`createTheme.var(declaration)`

Used to access the value of a custom property generated by createTheme.

	Description	Default
`declaration`	The value returned by `createTheme`.	—

import { createTheme } from "bakeware";

const [_, vars] = createTheme({
  example: "#000",
});
// {
//   example: "var(--example_xxxxxxx)",
// }

createTheme.var(vars.example);
// "#000"

`globalStyles(rules)`

Sets global styles for multiple selectors. The rules object accepts the same selector-based global styles as vanilla-extract, with optional top-level named layers.

	Description	Default
`rules`	Object containing selectors and optional named layers.	—

import { globalStyles } from "bakeware";

globalStyles({
  "*": {
    boxSizing: "border-box",
  },
  svg: {
    display: "inline-block",
  },
});

Top-level @layer groups selectors under named CSS layers:

globalStyles({
  "@layer": {
    reset: {
      "*": {
        boxSizing: "border-box",
      },
      html: {
        blockSize: "100%",
      },
    },
    components: {
      button: {
        cursor: "pointer",
      },
    },
  },
});
// @layer reset {
//   * { box-sizing: border-box; }
//   html { block-size: 100%; }
// }
//
// @layer components {
//   button { cursor: pointer; }
// }

Selector-level @layer rules continue to use vanilla-extract's existing syntax:

globalStyles({
  body: {
    "@layer": {
      base: {
        margin: 0,
      },
    },
  },
});
