How to use

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-emotion`,
      options: {
        // Accepts the following options, all of which are defined by `@emotion/babel-plugin` plugin.
        // The values for each key in this example are the defaults the plugin uses.
        sourceMap: true,
        autoLabel: "dev-only",
        labelFormat: `[local]`,
        cssPropOptimization: true,
      },
    },
  ],
}

Options

The plugin supports the same options that you can pass into @emotion/babel-plugin.

Option	Type	Description	Default
`sourceMap`	boolean	Tells the plugin to inject source maps for use in browser dev tools in development.	`true`
`autoLabel`	`'dev-only' ∣ 'always' ∣ 'never'`	Automatically adds the label property to styles so that class names generated by css or styled include the name of the variable the result is assigned to. You can read more about this option in `@emotion/babel-plugin`’s docs	`dev-only`
`labelFormat`	string	Only works when `autoLabel` is set to true. It allows you to define the format of the resulting label. The format is defined via string where variable parts are enclosed in square brackets `[]`. For example `labelFormat: "my-classname--[local]"`, where `[local]` will be replaced with the name of the variable the result is assigned to.	`"[local]"`
`cssPropOptimization`	boolean	Assumes that you are using something to make `@emotion/react`’s jsx function work for all jsx. If you are not doing so and you do not want such optimizations to occur, disable this option.	`true`
