CSS variables#

CoreUI for React components use local CSS variables for validation for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

--cui-form-valid-color: #{$form-valid-color};
--cui-form-valid-border-color: #{$form-valid-border-color};
--cui-form-invalid-color: #{$form-invalid-color};
--cui-form-invalid-border-color: #{$form-invalid-border-color};

These variables are also color mode adaptive, meaning they change color while in dark mode.
