Installation

npm install bakeware

`style(layer?, rule, debugId?)`

Extends vanilla-extract's style, enabling a cleaner way to implement layers. If layer is not set, it behaves like the original function.

	Description	Default
`layer`	CSS `@layer` name.	`undefined`
`rule`	—	—
`debugId`	—	`undefined`

import { style } from "bakeware";

// With layer
const withLayer = style("base", {
  color: "blue",
});
// @layer base {
//   .withLayer {
//     color: blue;
//   }
// }

// Without layer
const withoutLayer = style({
  color: "red",
});
// .withoutLayer {
//   color: red;
// }

`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);
// { fontSize: "1rem", lineHeight: "1.5rem" }

fontSize(1);
// { fontSize: "1.618033988749895rem", lineHeight: "3rem" }

fontSize(2);
// { fontSize: "2.618033988749895rem", lineHeight: "4.5rem" }

`typeScale(scale, unit?)`

Generates a type scale based on mathematical or geometric formulas.

	Description	Default
