# Stylance
Stylance is a tool and library for working with scoped CSS in rust.
Stylance is a library and tool for working with scoped CSS in rust inspired by CSS modules.
## Usage
Stylance is divided in two parts:
1. A proc macro rust library for importing scoped classes from css modules as constants into your rust code.
2. A cli tool to generate a css file with the hashed classnames from css module files.
1. Rust proc macros for importing scoped/hashed class names from css files as constants into your rust code.
2. A cli tool that finds all css modules in your crate and generates an output css file with hashed class names.
### Importing styles in rust using Proc Macros
### Proc macro
Use the import_style proc macro to parse a css/scss file and bring the classes from within that file as constants inside a module.
Add stylance to your rust cargo.toml:
```cli
cargo add stylance
```
Then use the import_crate_style proc read a css/scss file and bring the classes from within that file as constants.

```css
/* src/component/card/card.module.scss */

All classnames found inside the file will be included as constants inside a module named as the identifier passed as first argument to import_style.
All classnames found inside the file `src/component/card/card.module.scss` will be included as constants inside a module named as the identifier passed as first argument to import_style.
The proc macro has no other effects, generating the modified css file is done using the stylance-cli.

### Stylance cli
Install stylance cli
```cli
cargo install stylance-cli
```
Run stylance cli:
```cli
stylance --output ./bundled.scss ./path/to/crate/dir/
```
This will find all the files ending with `.module.scss` and `.module.css`and bundle them into ./bundled.css, all classes will be modified to include a hash that matches the one the `import_crate_style!` macro produces.
Resulting output.scss:
```css
.header-f45126d {
background-color: red;
}
```
During development it is convenient to use sylance cli in watch mode:
```
stylance --watch --output ./bundled.scss ./path/to/crate/dir/
```
The stylance process will then watch the `.module.css` files for changes and automatically rebuild the output file.
