Chakra UI + Capsize

🚨 chakra-capsize is currently NOT compatible with Chakra UI v2 and React 18, and is not actively being updated. Revert to @chakra-ui/react@1.8.8 if you want to use this package.

Integrating Chakra UI with Capsize is made super easy by using the chakra-capsize community package by ceteio.

To get started, first you need to install the chakra-capsize package:

yarn add @ceteio/chakra-capsize

The package exports a theme extension called withCappedText that you need to use in your theme:

import { withCappedText } from '@ceteio/chakra-capsize/theme'
import { extendTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'
import robotoFontMetrics from '@capsizecss/metrics/roboto'

const theme = extendTheme(
  defaultTheme,
  {
    fonts: {
      heading: 'Roboto',
      body: 'Roboto',
    },
    capHeights: {
      sm: 10,
      md: 14,
      lg: 18,
      xl: 24,
    },
  },
  withCappedText({
    fontMetrics: {
      Roboto: robotoFontMetrics,
    },
  }),
)

To utilize Capsize in your app, you can use the CappedHeading and CappedText components exported from chakra-capsize:

import { CappedText, CappedHeading } from '@ceteio/chakra-capsize'

export const ExampleComponent = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <CappedHeading as='h1' size='2xl'>
        Hi!
      </CappedHeading>
      <CappedText>
        This paragraph will have surrounding whitespace trimmed. It will also
        have space between the lines of text reduced to 0.
      </CappedText>
      <CappedText capHeight='lg' lineGap={4}>
        Setting a capHeight overrides any fontSize prop for more exact sizing.
        Meanwhile, a lineGap uses the Chakra 'spacings' scale to insert space
        between lines of text just like any other Chakra element.
      </CappedText>
    </div>
  )
}

For more advanced usage and theming, please refer to the chakra-capsize documentation.
