react-prefixer

react-prefixer is a tiny package designed to provide vender-specific prefixes to the style objects you use in your React project.

Installation

$ npm install react-prefixer

Usage

import prefix from 'react-prefixer';

const styles = prefix({
  userSelect: 'none'
});
    
console.log(styles); // {WebkitUserSelect:"none"}

It also works on deeply-nested objects:

import prefix from 'react-prefixer';

const styles = prefix({
  some:{
    really:{
      deep:{
        style:{
          userSelect: 'none'
        }
      }
    }
  }
});
    
console.log(styles); // {some:{really:{deep:{style:{WebkitUserSelect:"none"}}}}}

And will appropriately modify your values for legacy syntaxes on transition:

import prefix from 'react-prefixer';

const styles = prefix({
  transition: 'transform 200ms'
});
    
console.log(styles); // {WebkitTransition:"-webkit-transform 200ms"}, if on Safari for example

It will also do the tweener or most recent vendor syntax for flexbox:

import prefix from 'react-prefixer';

const styles = prefix({
  display: 'flex'
});
    
console.log(styles); 
// {display: '-webkit-flex'}, if on Safari
// {display: '-ms-flexbox'}, if on IE10

Test environments

When running in test environments where there is a JS-based DOM (jsdom for example), the getComputedStyle method will return an empty array of styles when calculating the prefix. This previously caused an error which is since resolved, however it will default to assuming no browser prefix at all. As such, if you want to perform tests based on a specific browser prefix, you will need to mock the getComputedStyle property on the window. An example that is for tests with Webkit browsers:

const originalGetComputedStyle = window.getComputedStyle;

window.getComputedStyle = function(...args) {
  if (arguments[0] === document.documentElement) {
    return ['-webkit-appearance'];
  }

  return originalGetComputedStyle.apply(window, args);
};

Browser support

IE10+ and Edge
Firefox
Chrome
Safari
Opera

Development

Standard stuff, clone the repo and npm i to get the dependencies. npm scripts available:

build => runs webpack to build the compiled JS file with NODE_ENV set to development
build:minified => runs webpack to build the compiled and optimized JS file with NODE_ENV set to production
clean => runs rimraf on both lib and dist directories
dev => runs the webpack dev server for the playground
lint => runs ESLint against files in the src folder
lint:fix => runs lint with --fix applied
prepublish => if in publish, runs prepublish:compile
prepublish:compile => runs clean, lint, test, transpile, build and build:minified
test => runs ava against all files in src
test:watch => runs test with a persistent watcher
transpile => runs Babel against files in src to files in lib

Happy prefixing!
