Blueprint

Style Props

Style props are a way to alter the style of a component by simply passing props to it. It helps to save time by providing helpful shorthand ways to style components.

Reference

The following table shows a list of every style prop and the properties within each group.

Margin and padding


import { Box } from "@hover/blueprint"
// m={2} refers to the value of `theme.space[2]`
<Box m={2}>Tomato</Box>
// You can also use custom values
<Box maxW="960px" mx="auto" />
// sets margin `8px` on all viewports and `12px` from the first breakpoint and up
<Box m={[2, 3]} />

mt, marginTopmargin-topspace
mr, marginRightmargin-rightspace
me, marginEndmargin-inline-endspace
mb, marginBottommargin-bottomspace
ml, marginLeftmargin-leftspace
ms, marginStartmargin-inline-startspace
mx, marginXmargin-inline-start + margin-inline-endspace

p, paddingpaddingspace

pl, paddingLeftpadding-leftspace
ps, paddingStartpadding-inline-startspace
px, paddingXpadding-inline-start + padding-inline-endspace
py, paddingYpadding-top + padding-bottomspace

For mx and px props, we use margin-inline-start and margin-inline-end to ensure the generated styles are RTL-friendly

Color and background color


import { Box } from "@hover/blueprint"
// picks up a nested color value using dot notation
// => `theme.colors.gray[50]`
<Box color='gray.50' />
// raw CSS color value
<Box color='#f00' />
// background colors
<Box bg='tomato' />
// verbose prop
<Box backgroundColor='tomato' />

</Box>
{/* adding brightness property to the element */}
<Box sx={basicBoxStyles} filter='auto' brightness='40%'>
Box with Brightness
</Box>
</Flex>
)
}

Note: To apply blur, brightness, contrast, hueRotate, invert, saturate props on the element, set filter prop value to "auto".


function BackdropFilters() {
const outerBoxStyles = {
boxSize: '250px',
p: '10',
background:
'url(https://picsum.photos/id/1068/200/300) center/cover no-repeat',

}

🚨 backdrop-filter is not supported in Firefox. It can be enabled by the user, but it is suggested to design a component that looks good with and without this property.

Note: To apply backdropBlur, backdropBrightness, backdropContrast, backdropHueRotate, backdropInvert, backdropSaturate props on the element, set backdropFilter prop value to "auto".

The as prop

The as prop is a feature in all of our components that allows you to pass an HTML tag or component to be rendered.

For example, say you are using a Button component, and you need to make it a link instead. You can compose a and Button like this:


<Button as='a' target='_blank' variant='outline' href='https://chakra-ui.com'>
Hello
</Button>

This allows you to use all of the Button props and all of the a props without having to wrap the Button in an a component.
