setup

setup(pragma: Function, prefixer?: Function, theme?: Function, forwardProps?: Function)

The call to setup() should occur once only. It should be called in the entry file of you project.

Given the fact that react uses createElement for the transformed elements and preact uses h, setup should be called with the proper pragma function. This was added to reduce the bundled size and being able to bundle esmodule version. At the moment I think it's the best tradeoff we can have.

import React from 'react';
import { setup } from 'goober';
setup(React.createElement);

With prefixer#

import React from 'react';
import { setup } from 'goober';
const customPrefixer = (key, value) => `${key}: ${value};\n`;
setup(React.createElement, customPrefixer);

With theme#

import React from 'react';
import { setup, styled } from 'goober';
const theme = { primary: 'blue' };
const ThemeContext = createContext(theme);
const useTheme = () => useContext(ThemeContext);
setup(React.createElement, undefined, useTheme);
const ContainerWithTheme = styled('div')`
color: ${(props) => props.theme.primary};
`;

With forwardProps#

The forwardProps function, offers a way to achieve the same shouldForwardProps functionality as emotion and styled-components(with transient props) offer. The difference in here is that the function receives the whole props and you are in charge of removing the props that are should not end-up in the dom.

This is a super useful functionality when paired with theme object, variants or any other customisation one might need.

import React from 'react';
import { setup, styled } from 'goober';
setup(React.createElement, undefined, undefined, (props) => {
for (let prop in props) {
// Or any other conditions.
// This could also check if this is a dev build and not remove the props
if (prop === 'size') {
delete props[prop];
}
}
});

Alternatively you can use goober/should-forward-prop addon, to pass only the filter function and not have to deal with the full props object.

import React from 'react';
import { setup, styled } from 'goober';
import { shouldForwardProp } from 'goober/should-forward-prop';
setup(
React.createElement,
undefined,
undefined,
// This package accepts a `filter` function. If you return false that prop
// won't be included in the forwarded props.
shouldForwardProp((prop) => {
return prop !== 'size';
})
);
