Package Exports

- classnames/dedupe
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (classnames) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Classnames
A simple javascript utility for conditionally joining classNames together.
Install with npm or Bower.
npm install classnames
Use with node.js, browserify or webpack:
var classNames = require('classnames');
classNames('foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo bar'
Alternatively, you can simply include index.js
on your page with a standalone <script>
tag and it will export a global classNames
method, or define the module if you are using RequireJS.
Project philosophy
We take the stability and performance of this package seriously, because it is run millions of times a day in browsers all around the world. Updates are thoroughly reviewed for performance impacts before being released, and we have a comprehensive test suite.
Classnames follows the SemVer standard for versioning.
There is also a Changelog.
Usage
The classNames
function takes any number of arguments which can be a string or object.
The argument 'foo'
is short for { foo: true }
. If the value of the key is falsy, it won't be included in the output.
classNames('foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo bar'
classNames('foo', { bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'
classNames({ foo: true }, { bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'
classNames({ foo: true, bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'
// lots of arguments of various types
classNames('foo', { bar: true, duck: false }, 'baz', { quux: true }) // => 'foo bar baz quux'
// other falsy values are just ignored
classNames(null, false, 'bar', undefined, 0, 1, { baz: null }, ''); // => 'bar 1'
Arrays will be recursively flattened as per the rules above:
var arr = ['b', { c: true, d: false }];
classNames('a', arr); // => 'a b c'
Alternate dedupe
version
There is an alternate version of classNames
available which correctly dedupes classes and ensures that falsy classes specified in later arguments are excluded from the result set.
For example:
classNames('foo', 'foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo bar'
classNames('foo', { foo: false, bar: true }); // => 'bar'
This version is slower (about 10x) so it is offered as an opt-in.
To use the dedupe version with node, browserify or webpack:
var classNames = require('classnames/dedupe');
Or for standalone (global / AMD) use, include dedupe.js
in a <script>
tag on your page.
Polyfills needed to support older browsers
classNames >=2.0.0
Array.isArray
: see MDN
for details about unsupported older browsers (e.g. <= IE8) and a simple polyfill.
Object.keys
: see MDN for details about unsupported older browsers (e.g. <= IE8) and a simple polyfill. This is only used in dedupe.js
.
