Installation
npm install @linaria/core @linaria/react @linaria/babel-preset @linaria/shaker
or
yarn add @linaria/core @linaria/react @linaria/babel-preset @linaria/shaker
Setup
Linaria currently supports webpack and Rollup to extract the CSS at build time. To configure your bundler, check the following guides:
Or configure Linaria with one of the following integrations:
Optionally, add the @linaria
preset to your Babel configuration at the end of the presets list to avoid errors when importing the components in your server code or tests:
{
"presets": [
"@babel/preset-env",
"@babel/preset-react",
"@linaria"
]
}
See Configuration to customize how Linaria processes your files.
Syntax
Linaria can be used with any framework, with additional helpers for React. The basic syntax looks like this:
import { css } from '@linaria/core';
import { modularScale, hiDPI } from 'polished';
import fonts from './fonts';
// Write your styles in `css` tag
const header = css`
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: ${fonts.heading};
font-size: ${modularScale(2)};
${hiDPI(1.5)} {
font-size: ${modularScale(2.5)};
}
`;
// Then use it as a class name
<h1 className={header}>Hello world</h1>;
You can use imported variables and functions for logic inside the CSS code. They will be evaluated at build time.
If you're using React, you can use the styled
helper, which makes it easy to write React components with dynamic styles with a styled-component like syntax:
import { styled } from '@linaria/react';
import { families, sizes } from './fonts';
// Write your styles in `styled` tag
const Title = styled.h1`
font-family: ${families.serif};
`;
const Container = styled.div`
font-size: ${sizes.medium}px;
color: ${props => props.color};
border: 1px solid red;
&:hover {
border-color: blue;
}
${Title} {
margin-bottom: 24px;
}
`;
// Then use the resulting component
<Container color="#333">
<Title>Hello world</Title>
</Container>;
Dynamic styles will be applied using CSS custom properties (aka CSS variables) and don't require any runtime.
See Basics for a detailed information about the syntax.

Contributing
We appreciate any support in library development!
Take a look on [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) docs to check how you can run Linaria in development mode.
Trade-offs
- No IE11 support when using dynamic styles in components with
styled
, since it uses CSS custom properties - Dynamic styles are not supported with
css
tag. See Dynamic styles withcss
tag for alternative approaches. - Modules used in the CSS rules cannot have side-effects. For example:
import { css } from '@linaria/core';
import colors from './colors';
const title = css`
color: ${colors.text};
`;
Here, there should be no side-effects in the colors.js
file, or any file it imports. We recommend to move helpers and shared configuration to files without any side-effects.
Interoperability with other CSS-in-JS libraries
Linaria can work together with other CSS-in-JS libraries out-of-the-box. However, if you want to use styled components from Linaria as selectors in styled-components
/emotion
, you need to use @linaria/interop
