Package Exports
- react-look
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 (react-look) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

New to Look?
Make sure to check out the the relevant Getting Started guide which provides a full guide on how to use Look. From installation, over configuration and up to even developer tooling.
Getting Started - React
Getting Started - React Native
Example Component
This is only an example Component and won't run out of the box without wrapping your App. See the Getting Started guide on how to setup Look correctly.
The syntax is quite similar to Sass and other React styling libraries.

class Header extends Component { static defaultProps = { size: 24 }; static propTypes = { size: PropTypes.number.isRequired }; state = { status: 'active' };
render() {
return (
// Styles are basically applied using the className
property
{this.props.title}
// generates classNames for each selector const styles = StyleSheet.create({ header: { transition: '200ms all linear', // Use media queries or pseudo classes // using nested style objects. Those get transformed // on the fly and can be nested endlessly. '@media (min-height: 800px)': { fontSize: 13, ':hover': { fontSize: 15 } }, // You can also use mixins with the same selector. // They'll get split intelligently and evaluated on render 'status=active': { backgroundColor: 'green', 'size>=20': { backgroundColor: 'pink' } } }, title: { fontWeight: 800, // use functions to inject props, state or context values fontSize: (props, state, context) => props.size * state.zoom } })
export default look(Header)

```sh
npm install react-look-native
Using with react-native
only a part of the plugins, mixins and devTools is available.
You also import some stuff differently.
import React, { View, Text, Component, PropTypes } from 'react-native'
import look, { StyleSheet } from 'react-look-native'
class Header extends Component {
static defaultProps = { size: 24 };
static propTypes = { size: PropTypes.number.isRequired };
state = { status: 'active' };
render() {
return (
// Styles are basically applied using the `style` property
// Same way as React Native does by default
<View style={styles.header}>
<Text style={styles.title}>
{this.props.title}
</Text>
</View>
)
}
}
// generates objects for each selector
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
header: {
color: 'red',
// You can also use mixins with the same selector.
// They'll get split intelligently and evaluated on render
'status=active': {
backgroundColor: 'green',
'size>=20': {
backgroundColor: 'pink'
}
}
},
title: {
fontWeight: 800,
// use functions to inject props, state or context values
fontSize: (props, state, context) => props.size * state.zoom
}
})
export default look(Header)
