CSS variables

React Form Field uses local CSS variables for enhanced real-time customization. Set them on the field itself, or on an ancestor for a whole form.

scss

$form-field-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-form-field-gap: .5rem,
    --cui-form-field-column-gap: .5rem,
  ),
  $form-field-tokens
);

.form-field-card and .form-group carry their own sets:

scss

$form-field-card-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-form-field-card-padding-y: calc(var(--cui-spacer) * .75),
    --cui-form-field-card-padding-x: calc(var(--cui-spacer) * .75),
    --cui-form-field-card-radius: var(--cui-radius-7),
    --cui-form-field-card-hover-bg: var(--cui-bg-1),
    --cui-form-field-card-checked-bg: var(--cui-bg-1),
    --cui-form-field-card-checked-border-color: var(--cui-border-color),
  ),
  $form-field-card-tokens
);

scss

$form-group-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-form-group-gap: .5rem,
  ),
  $form-group-tokens
);

How to use CSS variables

const customVars = {
  '--cui-form-field-gap': '0.75rem',
}

return <CFormField style={customVars}>...</CFormField>
