Using Rsbuild

Easily use Bamboo with Rsbuild, React and Typescript with our dedicated integration.

This guide shows you how to set up Bamboo CSS in a Rsbuild project using PostCSS.

Start a new project

Create Rsbuild project

To get started, we will need to create a new Rsbuild project using react-ts template.

pnpm create rsbuild@latest --dir test-app --template react-ts
cd test-app
pnpm install

Install Bamboo

Install bamboo and create your bamboo.config.ts file.

pnpm install -D @bamboocss/dev
pnpm bamboo init --postcss

Update package.json scripts

Open your package.json file and update the scripts section as follows:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "rsbuild build",
    "dev": "rsbuild dev --open",
+   "prepare": "bamboo codegen",
    "preview": "rsbuild preview"
  }
}
  • "prepare" - script that will run Bamboo CSS CLI codegen before each build. Read more about codegen in the CLI section.
💡

This step ensures that the bamboo output directory is regenerated after each dependency installation. So you can add the output directory to your .gitignore file and not worry about it.

Configure the content

Make sure that all of the paths of your React components are included in the include section of the bamboo.config.ts file.

bamboo.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@bamboocss/dev'
 
export default defineConfig({
  // Whether to use css reset
  preflight: true,
 
  // Where to look for your css declarations
  include: ['./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}', './pages/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
 
  // Files to exclude
  exclude: [],
 
  // Generates JSX utilities with options of React, Preact, Qwik, Solid, Vue
  jsxFramework: 'react',
 
  // The output directory for your css system
  outdir: 'styled-system',
})

Configure the entry CSS with layers

Add this code to an src/App.css file imported in the root component of your project.

src/App.css

@layer reset, base, tokens, recipes, utilities;

Start your build process

Run the following command to start your development server.

pnpm dev

Start using Bamboo

Now you can start using Bamboo CSS in your project. Here is the snippet of code that you can use in your src/App.tsx file.

src/App.tsx

import { css } from '../styled-system/css'
 
function App() {
  return <div className={css({ fontSize: '2xl', fontWeight: 'bold' })}>Hello 🎋!</div>
}
 
export default App

Troubleshooting

If you're not getting import autocomplete in your IDE, you may need to include the styled-system directory in your tsconfig.json file:

tsconfig.json

{
  // ...
  "include": ["src", "styled-system"]
}
