Style Props

Style props are a way to alter the style of a component by simply passing props to it. It helps to save time by providing helpful shorthand ways to style components.

Reference

The following table shows a list of every style prop and the properties within each group.

Margin and padding

<template>  <!-- m="2" refers to the value of theme.space.[2] -->  <c-box m="2">Tomato</c-box>  
  <!-- You can also make use of custom values -->  <c-box max-w="960px" mx="auto">Custom</c-box>  
  <!-- sets margin `8px` on all viewports and `12px` from the first breakpoint and up -->  <c-box :m="['2', '3']" /></template>

Prop	CSS Property	Theme Key
`m`, `margin`	`margin`	`space`
`mt`, `marginTop`	`margin-top`	`space`
`mr`, `marginRight`	`margin-right`	`space`
`me`, `marginEnd`	`margin-inline-end`	`space`
`mb`, `marginBottom`	`margin-bottom`	`space`
`ml`, `marginLeft`	`margin-left`	`space`
`ms`, `marginStart`	`margin-inline-start`	`space`
`mx`, `marginX`	`margin-inline-start` + `margin-inline-end`	`space`
`my`, `marginY`	`margin-top` + `margin-bottom`	`space`
`p`, `padding`	`padding`	`space`
`pt`, `paddingTop`	`padding-top`	`space`
`pr`, `paddingRight`	`padding-right`	`space`

`pb`, `paddingBottom`	`padding-bottom`	`space`
`pl`, `paddingLeft`	`padding-left`	`space`

`px`, `paddingX`	`padding-inline-start` + `padding-inline-end`	`space`
`py`, `paddingY`	`padding-top` + `padding-bottom`	`space`

For mx and px props, we use margin-inline-start and margin-inline-end to ensure the generated styles are RTL-friendly

🚨 backdrop-filter is not supported in Firefox. It can be enabled by the user, but it is suggested to design a component that looks good with and without this property.

Note: To apply backdropBlur, backdropBrightness, backdropContrast, backdropHueRotate, backdropInvert, backdropSaturate props on the element, set backdropFilter prop value to "auto".

The `as` prop

The as prop is a feature in all of our components that allows you to pass an HTML tag or component to be rendered.

For example, say you are using a Button component, and you need to make it a link instead. You can compose a and Button like this:

<template>  <c-button as="router-link" to="/about">About Page Button</c-button></template>

This allows you to use all of the Button props and all of the a props without having to wrap the Button in an a component.
