Usage

First, install as a dependency:

npm install cmless

Create a cmless.config.js file in your root folder and import cmless. Out of the box this gives you a design system, loading Google Fonts, defining CSS variables and reset rules, and more!

const defineConfig = require('cmless');

module.exports = defineConfig({
  // Settings that already have some sensible defaults
  entry: 'src/app.tsx',
  template: 'node_modules/cmless/client/index.html',
  // Set to `false` or `null` to not use CSS variables.
  // Otherwise will use the variables defined in `client/theme.js`, allowing you to override them like this:
  theme: {
    'system-ui': 'Comic Sans MS',
  },
  // Set to a string containing CSS to use as a style reset.
  // Set to `true` or leave undefined to use the built-in `client/reset.css`.
  // Set to `false`, `null`, or an empty string to not use a style reset.
  reset: fs.readFileSync('node_modules/cmless/client/reset.css').toString(),

  // Other settings - not defined by default
  title: 'Hammer - a website about hammers',
  link: [
    {
      rel: 'icon',
      type: 'image/svg+xml',
      href: 'data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22 viewBox=%220 0 110 110%22><text y=%22.9em%22 font-size=%2290%22>🔨</text></svg>',
    },
  ],
  meta: {
    author: 'MC Hammer',
    description: 'Stop, collaborate, and listen!',
  },
  fonts: {
    title: 'Montserrat',
    text: 'Inter',
  },

  // Optional built-in support for Netlify forms: https://docs.netlify.com/forms/setup
  forms: {
    contact: {
      text: { tagName: 'textarea' },
      email: { tagName: 'input', type: 'email' },
    },
  },
});

Plugins and customizing config

cmless uses Vite under the hood, so defineConfig returns a Vite config with some plugins pre-configured. To add more plugins or otherwise customize config, for example adding Vue support, try the following:

const vue = require('@vitejs/plugin-vue')
const defineConfig = require('cmless')

const cmless = defineConfig({
  entry: 'src/main.js',
})

module.exports = {
  ...cmless,
  plugins: [...cmless.plugins, vue()],
}

API lambda functions

If you're using Netlify, set the functions folder in your netlify.toml file:

[build]
  functions = "node_modules/cmless/server/"

Or if you need more flexibility - require the lambda functions directly:

const { getData } = require('cmless/server');

exports.handler = getData;

You can now call these functions from your local server - with Netlify the function will be at http://localhost:3000/.netlify/functions/getData

Contribution

To start a local server using these functions, first install the dependencies:

npm install

Then run npm start and call a function, for example http://localhost:3000/.netlify/functions/getDocumentJSON?url=YOUR_DOCUMENT_URL_ENCODED
