Feature Targeting

MDC Feature Targeting provides infrastructure to allow CSS styles to be included or excluded categorically.

Most of the time, you shouldn't need to depend on mdc-feature-targeting directly. However, understanding it can be useful if you're interested in having more control over when certain types of MDC styles are emitted.

Installation

npm install @limetech/mdc-feature-targeting

Basic Usage

Styles

Authoring component styles:

@import "@limetech/mdc-feature-targeting/functions";
@import "@limetech/mdc-feature-targeting/mixins";

@mixin my-component-core-styles($query: mdc-feature-all()) {
  $feat-structure: mdc-feature-create-target($query, structure);

  @include mdc-feature-targets($feat-structure) {
    // ...
  }
}

Consuming component styles:

@import "@limetech/mdc-feature-targeting/functions";
@import "my-component-mixins";

// To include all styles (using the default of mdc-feature-all() defined above):
@include my-component-core-styles;

// Or, to include a specific subset of styles:
@include my-component-core-styles(structure);
@include my-component-core-styles(mdc-feature-any(color, typography));
// The above two @includes and the following @include would produce equivalent results:
@include my-component-core-styles(mdc-feature-without(animation));

Sass Mixins and Functions

Mixin | Description --- | --- mdc-feature-targets($feature-targets...) | Conditionalizes content to only be emitted if the given feature target(s) is/are queried.

Function | Description --- | --- mdc-feature-create-target($feature-query, $targeted-feature) | Returns a variable to be passed to mdc-feature-targets in order to filter emitted styles. mdc-feature-all($feature-queries...) | Returns a query object which will result in emitting mdc-feature-targets blocks that match all of the specified features. Passing no arguments results in all blocks being emitted, which is the most common use case. mdc-feature-any($feature-queries...) | Returns a query object which will result in emitting mdc-feature-targets blocks that match any of the specified features. Passing no arguments results in no blocks being emitted. mdc-feature-without($feature-query) | Returns a query object which will result in emitting mdc-feature-targets blocks that do not match the specified feature.

$feature-query and $feature-queries refer to one or more of the values listed below under Supported Features.

Supported Features

MDC Web's styles are currently split according to the following features:

• structure - All baseline styles that don't fit into any other category
• animation - Styles responsible for causing animations and transitions to occur
• color - Color-specific styles which rely on mdc-theme variables
• typography - Typography-specific styles which rely on mdc-typography
