Config Functions

These Config Functions, help in defining and providing type information for your config. By utilizing these functions, you can enhance code readability, enforce consistency, and ensure robust type checking in config.

Config Creators

To help defining config in a type-safe way, you can use the following helpers:

defineConfig

Function for config definitions.

import { defineConfig } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export default defineConfig({
  theme: {},
  include: ['src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}']
})

defineRecipe

Function for recipe definitions.

import { defineRecipe } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const buttonRecipe = defineRecipe({
  className: 'button',
  description: 'The styles for the Button component',
  base: {
    display: 'flex'
  },
  variants: {
    visual: {
      funky: { bg: 'red.200', color: 'white' },
      edgy: { border: '1px solid {colors.red.500}' }
    }
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    visual: 'funky',
    size: 'sm'
  }
})

defineSlotRecipe

Function for slot recipe definitions.

import { defineSlotRecipe } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const checkboxRecipe = defineSlotRecipe({
  className: 'checkbox',
  description: 'The styles for the Checkbox component',
  slots: ['root', 'control', 'label'],
  base: {
    root: { display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center', gap: '2' },
    control: { borderWidth: '1px', borderRadius: 'sm' },
    label: { marginStart: '2' }
  },
  variants: {
    size: {
      sm: {
        control: { width: '8', height: '8' },
        label: { fontSize: 'sm' }
      },
      md: {
        control: { width: '10', height: '10' },
        label: { fontSize: 'md' }
      }
    }
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    size: 'sm'
  }
})

defineParts

It can be useful when you want to have the equivalent of a slot recipe without needing to split the class names bindings and instead just having a className that handles children on 1 DOM element.

It pairs well with ZagJs (opens in a new tab) and Ark-UI (opens in a new tab)

Let's refactor the previous example to use parts instead of slots:

import { defineParts, definetRecipe } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const parts = defineParts({
  root: { selector: '& [data-part="root"]' },
  control: { selector: '& [data-part="control"]' },
  label: { selector: '& [data-part="label"]' }
})
 
export const checkboxRecipe = defineRecipe({
  className: 'checkbox',
  description: 'A checkbox style',
  base: parts({
    root: { display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center', gap: '2' },
    control: { borderWidth: '1px', borderRadius: 'sm' },
    label: { marginStart: '2' }
  }),
  variants: {
    size: {
      sm: parts({
        control: { width: '8', height: '8' },
        label: { fontSize: 'sm' }
      }),
      md: parts({
        control: { width: '10', height: '10' },
        label: { fontSize: 'md' }
      })
    }
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    size: 'sm'
  }
})

definePattern

Function for pattern definitions.

import { definePattern } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const visuallyHidden = definePattern({
  transform(props) {
    return {
      srOnly: true,
      ...props
    }
  }
})

definePreset

Function for preset definitions.

import { definePreset } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const pandaPreset = definePreset({
  theme: {
    extend: {
      tokens: {
        colors: { primary: { value: 'blue.500' } }
      }
    }
  }
})

defineKeyframes

Function for keyframes definitions.

import { defineKeyframes } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const keyframes = defineKeyframes({
  fadeIn: {
    '0%': { opacity: '0' },
    '100%': { opacity: '1' }
  }
})

defineGlobalStyles

Function for global styles definitions.

import { defineGlobalStyles } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const globalCss = defineGlobalStyles({
  'html, body': {
    color: 'gray.900',
    lineHeight: '1.5'
  }
})

defineUtility

Function for utility definitions.

import { defineUtility } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const br = defineUtility({
  className: 'rounded',
  values: 'radii',
  transform(value) {
    return { borderRadius: value }
  }
})

defineTextStyles

Function for text styles definitions.

import { defineTextStyles } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const textStyles = defineTextStyles({
  body: {
    description: 'The body text style - used in paragraphs',
    value: {
      fontFamily: 'Inter',
      fontWeight: '500',
      fontSize: '16px',
      lineHeight: '24',
      letterSpacing: '0',
      textDecoration: 'None',
      textTransform: 'None'
    }
  }
})

defineLayerStyles

Function for layer styles definitions.

import { defineLayerStyles } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const layerStyles = defineLayerStyles({
  container: {
    description: 'container styles',
    value: {
      bg: 'gray.50',
      border: '2px solid',
      borderColor: 'gray.500'
    }
  }
})

defineStyles

Function for style definitions.

This comes in handy when you want to define reusable styles in the config.

E.g. a set of styles to be used in multiple variants within a recipe.

import { defineRecipe, defineStyles } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const buttonVisualStyles = defineStyles({
  borderRadius: 'lg',
  boxShadow: 'sm'
})
 
export const buttonRecipe = defineRecipe({
  // ...
  variants: {
    visual: {
      funky: {
        bg: 'red.200',
        color: 'white',
        ...buttonVisualStyles
      },
      edgy: {
        border: '1px solid {colors.red.500}',
        ...buttonVisualStyles
      }
    }
  }
})

Token Creators

To help defining tokens in a type-safe way, you can use the following helpers:

defineTokens

import { defineTokens } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const theme = {
  tokens: defineTokens({
    colors: {
      primary: { value: '#ff0000' }
    }
  })
}

You can also use this function to define tokens in a separate file:

import { defineTokens } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const colors = defineTokens.colors({
  primary: { value: '#ff0000' }
})

defineSemanticTokens

import { defineSemanticTokens } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
const theme = {
  semanticTokens: defineSemanticTokens({
    colors: {
      primary: {
        value: { _light: '{colors.blue.400}', _dark: '{colors.blue.200}' }
      }
    }
  })
}

You can also use this function to define tokens in a separate file:

import { defineSemanticTokens } from '@pandacss/dev'
 
export const colors = defineSemanticTokens.colors({
  primary: {
    value: { _light: '{colors.blue.400}', _dark: '{colors.blue.200}' }
  }
})
