Set up Master CSS in Vue.js
Guide to setting up Master CSS in your Vue.js project.
Master CSS Runtime Rendering observes changes in DOM class names at browser runtime, generates corresponding CSS rules, and injects them into the running style sheet.
Fixed style cost
All features work out of the box with ~17KB transfer cost
Fully automatic
Capture any program-generated class names
CSS lifecycle
Generated on-demand and frees memory when not in use
A full-stack framework, such as Nuxt.js, is recommended for better application performance and experience.
Quick start
Clone the example
Copy-paste the commands to quickly start using the https://vuejs.rr.rc.css.master.co example.
You can skip all installation steps.
npm create @master/css@rc project --example vue.jscd projectnpm run dev
Installation
Create a project
If you don't have a Vue.js project, create one first. It's recommended to refer to Quick Start - Vue.js.
npm init vue@latestcd project
Initialize configuration file
Run npm create @master/css@rc
to create a configuration file master.css.ts.
npm create @master/css@rc
Install Master CSS
Install Master CSS Vue into your project via package managers.
npm install @master/css.vue@rc
Set up CSS runtime engine
- Import your custom configuration
master.css.ts
- Initialize the runtime engine using
CSSRuntimeProvider
<script setup lang="ts">import CSSRuntimeProvider from '@master/css.vue'import config from '../master.css'</script> <template> <CSSRuntimeProvider :config="config"> … </CSSRuntimeProvider></template>
Prevent flash of unstyled content
Add display: 'none'
in <html>
to avoid FOUC caused by the runtime engine not yet injecting CSS rules.
<!doctype html><html lang="en" style="display: none">
Launch server
Run npm run dev
to start your Vite development server
npm run dev
Start using Master CSS
Now style your first element using Master CSS syntax!
…<template> <CSSRuntimeProvider :config="config"> <h1 class="font:40 font:heavy italic m:12x text:center">Hello World</h1> </CSSRuntimeProvider></template>
