I created a React app using the create-react-app package. I've including the minified css allowing me to use Foundations class system.
Now I want to customize the styles provided by Foundation.
I see there is a foundation folder within the node modules that contains the necessary _settings.scss, _gloabl.scss, and foundation.scss files, but I don't think I should be pulling those files out and dropping them in my src folder.
How can I set up my folder structure up with a React app that utilizes Foundations Sass library giving me customization abilities?
Thank you!
Ideally you would want to copy that _settings.scss file into your sass architecture. Once copied over, edit it how you would please.
Then import that settings file before the foundation components in your main compilation file so that they will use those settings. This is an example of some code I've written in the past.
// Reset css.
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/normalize";
// This is the file you created for foundation settings.
// Now all the imported foundation components will use these settings.
#import "./base/settings";
// Make sure the charset is set appropriately
#charset "UTF-8";
// Behold, here are all the Foundation components.
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/grid";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/accordion";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/alert-boxes";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/block-grid";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/buttons";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/clearing";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/dropdown";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/dropdown-buttons";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/forms";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/inline-lists";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/labels";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/pagination";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/progress-bars";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/range-slider";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/reveal";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/split-buttons";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/switches";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/tables";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/tooltips";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/type";
#import "../../../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/visibility";

Is there any way to import all _*.scss files to main App.scss file in React project? As I have separate folder for each component, I want to avoid typing
#import './components/UI/button';
#import './components/UI/menu';
#import './components/Forms/textInput';
What would be perfect is a working code like this:
#import './components/*';
I'm aware of order problem, I doesn't affect my css, files can be imported randomly.
The glob package will do it if you really wanted. I would advise against it though, including a sass file directly in the component is more efficient but mostly because order matters in CSS.
You can create file _index.scss in components directory and import all files from the subdirectories. After you can import writing #import './components/index'; or #import './components';
In my React app, instead of using styled-component or CSS-in-JS or importing a particular SCSS file into a component,
I used the SMACSS method where the only stylesheet that's being imported is the index.scss, which imports all the SCSS
files inside the styles directory.
Initially, I did the method of importing each SCSS file,
but I changed my mind after realizing that my file structure was messy and switched to the less modern way.
I'm just
wondering if there's a difference between importing each stylesheet and importing only one in terms of performance and
speed of an app.
I don't think it will make much difference in performance but you would be better off building up the good structure of code which is always recommended.
It's always good practice to create the single folder scss and then provide the references in main.scss of other files in folders like this way.
#import 'var';
#import 'mixins';
#import 'normalize';
#import 'default';
#import 'global/inputs';
#import 'global/btn';
#import 'components/modal-general';
#import 'components/modal-tabbed';
Then you can also use this single reference main.scss or index.scss in app.js or index.js
I'm using create-react-app and I integrated Sass to it. It is compiling just fine, the issue is that if I create a variable or mixin, use it in one of my sass files and then close the localhost and comeback later and run npm start, it will give me an error, like this one:
The files are not recognizing the variables (mixin in this case), which is located in a file named "base.scss".
I also have an index.scss file where I import all my other .scss components:
#import "./styles/base.scss";
#import "./styles/layout.scss";
#import "./styles/components/search-bar.scss";
#import "./styles/components/side-nav.scss";
#import "./styles/components/phone-navigation.scss";
#import "./styles/components/card.scss";
#import "./styles/components/pagination.scss";
#import "./styles/components/dropdown.scss";
#import "./styles/components/dashboard.scss";
#import "./styles/components/cast.scss";
In the index.css file I can see the compiled code from all my .scss components, so it seems that it is working properly, I can see even the mixin in the compiled index.css file.
Did you find an answer? I think in create-react-app you need to #import 'base' for every components.scss file, otherwise the variables are not found.
Im currently learning reactjs and Ive just added SASS to my project. However, I want to create a single file that stores all my variables and mixins globally that can then be used by any other scss file in my project. How is this possible without having to manually import the file into every scss file that i make?
My folder structure:
/src
assets/
images/
components/
app/
app.js
app.scss
styles/
scss/
main.scss
_var.scss
_mixins.scss
_typography.scss
index.css
index.js
You'll have to import your variables at the top of a master import file, with all other imports coming after. So, assuming your directory structure above, in main.scss you'd want to do:
#import 'var';
#import 'mixins';
#import 'typography';
...
// Component imports
#import '../../components/app/app';
Alternatively, you could set up a shared master import file somewhere closer to the base of your project (say, index.scss), which would then look like:
// in `styles/scss/main.scss`
#import 'var';
#import 'mixins';
#import 'etc';
// in `index.scss`
// Base style import
#import 'styles/scss/main.scss';
// Component imports
#import 'components/app/app';
#import 'components/etc/etc';
The important factor here is that you need to be importing anything that needs access to your shared variables after your variable import. Otherwise the variables won't be in scope.
Okay I have zurb installed on a drupal project and have it running with grunt, since it only has one main scss file [themename].scss and I'd like to have a multilingual website, I wondered how can I create a secondary .scss file for RTL pages, so it can override the main css file when viewing the RTL website.
I used to use foundation for building drupal themes. And here is how I handle rtl scss files.
Folder structure:
- scss/
|
- _settings.scss
- _settings-rtl.scss
- app.scss
- app-rtl.scss
- bower_components/
- config.rb
settings.scss; Standard foundation settings.scss file.
settings-rtl.scss; import settings.scss at the beginning of the file (to inherit all define variables) and then override any values you want.
#import "settings";
$text-direction: rtl;
$opposite-direction: right;
// any other settings you want to override.
app.scss;
#import "settings";
#import "../bower_components/foundation/scss/normalize";
#import "../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation";
app-rtl.scss;
#import "settings-rtl";
#import "../bower_components/foundation/scss/normalize";
#import "../bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation";
Well I can't help you with the SCSS file but as for CSS you can just add another themename-rtl.css file manually to the CSS directory and start coding
