Component Variants

Components use custom variants to allow you to completely customize the look and feel of each component.

The following table lists each component's variant group and default variant name where applicable.

The following components support the variant prop, but do not include default variant keys.

  • Box
  • Flex
  • Donut
  • Spinner
  • Embed
  • AspectRatio
  • AspectImage

Additional variants can be added to each group to create multiple styles for a single component. For example, a secondary button style can be added to theme.buttons.secondary then applied to any Button using the variant prop.

// example using a variant
<Button variant="secondary">Secondary</Button>

Example Theme

// example theme
{
// ...base theme...
// After the base theme, define the variants:
buttons: {
secondary: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
color: 'white',
bg: 'primary',
'&:hover': {
bg: 'dark',
},
},
},
text: {
caps: {
textTransform: 'uppercase',
letterSpacing: '.2em',
},
heading: {
fontFamily: 'heading',
fontWeight: 'heading',
lineHeight: 'heading',
},
display: {
// extends the text.heading styles
variant: 'text.heading',
fontSize: [6, 7, 8],
fontWeight: 'display',
},
},
cards: {
primary: {
padding: 2,
borderRadius: 4,
boxShadow: '0 0 4px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)',
},
},
}
