Presets
Creating your own reusable preset for utilities and theme
By default, any configuration you add in your own bamboo.config.js file is smartly merged with the
default configuration, allowing you to override or extend specific parts of the configuration.
You can specify a preset in your bamboo.config.js file by using the presets option:
import { defineConfig } from '@bamboocss/dev'
export default defineConfig({
presets: ['@acmecorp/bamboo-preset'],
})
Creating a preset
Presets are also valid Bamboo configuration objects, taking a similar shape to the configuration you would add in your
bamboo.config.ts file.
Note: Every preset must have a unique name.
// my-preset.js
import { definePreset } from '@bamboocss/dev'
export default definePreset({
name: 'my-preset',
theme: {
tokens: {
colors: {
rose: {
50: { value: '#fff1f2' },
// ...
800: { value: '#9f2233' },
},
},
},
},
})
You can then use this preset in your bamboo.config.ts file:
// bamboo.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@bamboocss/dev'
import myPreset from './my-preset'
export default defineConfig({
presets: [myPreset],
})
The available keys for a preset are:
Asynchronous presets
There are cases where you need to perform logic to determine the content of your preset, you'd call functions to do this. In cases where they're asynchronous; bamboo allows promises, given that they resolve to a valid preset object.
// my-preset.js
export default async function myPreset() {
const roseColors = await getRoseColors()
return definePreset({
name: 'my-preset',
theme: {
tokens: {
colors: {
rose: roseColors,
},
},
},
})
}
You can then use this preset in your bamboo.config.ts file:
// bamboo.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@bamboocss/dev'
import myPreset from './my-preset'
export default defineConfig({
presets: [myPreset()],
})
Which bamboo presets will be included ?

-
@bamboocss/preset-base: ALWAYS included if NOT usingeject: true -
@bamboocss/preset-bamboo: only included by default if you haven't specified thepresetsconfig option, otherwise you'll have to include that preset by yourself like so:
import bambooPreset from '@bamboocss/preset-bamboo'
import { defineConfig } from '@bamboocss/dev'
export default defineConfig({
// ...
presets: [bambooPreset, myCustomPreset],
})
