glamorous composition for inline styling

glamorous is a library to help style components from the component itself rather than from a css stylesheet. You create a component with style in the form of a javascript object.

require glam import 'glamorours';

const InfoSpan = glam.span({
  backgroundColor: 'none',
  width: '20%',
  margin: '0 1rem',
  padding: '0 1rem',
  display: 'inline-block',
  boxSizing: 'borderBox'
});

Later when rendering, you can use this as if it were a component.

render() {
  return (
    <div>
      <InfoSpan>
        Some Important Information
      </InfoSpan>
    </div>
  );
}

You can also compose additional glamorous components by re-using previously declared glamorous components.

const LeftSpan = glamorous(InfoSpan, {
  textAlign: 'right'
});

const RedArticle = glamorous(Article, {
  textAlign: 'left'
});
