Component-based CSS​
In this tutorial, we want to create a button component using Ravenbright CSS library in Astro.
Step 1: create button component​
Create a new button.astro component in src/components/.
---
export interface Props {
href: string;
text: string;
}
const { href, text } = Astro.props;
---
<a class="btn w-fit" role="button" href="{href}"> {text} </a>
Step 2: write the CSS inside the component​
Write the CSS inside <style> tag in button.astro. Put Ravenbright CSS variables, components, or utility classes inside <style> tag
<style>
.btn {
--rbrh-green-700: #007c32;
--rbrh-spacing-4: 0.75rem;
--rbrh-spacing-5: 1rem;
--rbrh-radius-md: 0.75rem;
--rbrh-radius-sm: 0.5rem;
--rbrh-radius-xs: 0.25rem;
--rbrh-shadow-xs: 0 0.125rem 0.625rem -0.375rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0px
0.25rem 0.75rem -0.125rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
background: var(--rbrh-green-700);
color: white;
border-radius: var(--rbrh-radius-sm);
box-shadow: var(--rbrh-shadow-xs);
padding: var(--rbrh-spacing-4) var(--rbrh-spacing-5);
text-decoration: none;
margin: var(--rbrh-spacing-4) 0;
}
.w-fit {
width: fit-content;
}
.w-100 {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
Step 3: import button into index.js​
Open index.js which located in src/pages/ then import the button component & it's done 🥳.
---
import Button from '../components/Button.astro';
---
<Layout title="Welcome to Astro.">
<main>
<Button href="https://Ravenbrightcss.com" text="Get started with Ravenbright CSS" />
</main>
</Layout>
