debug

Outlines the host in red during development and resolves to an empty style tree elsewhere, so the call is safe to leave in committed code.

import { debug } from "@sdxc/u/a11y";

Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

CallCSS
u.debug()css({ outline: "2px solid red", outlineOffset: "-2px" })
u.debug("nested")css({ outline: "2px solid red", outlineOffset: "-2px", "& *": { outline: "2px solid red", outlineOffset: "-2px" }, })

Examples

Basic example

Use debug() to outline an element in red while you develop. A production build drops the outline, so the call is safe to leave in; this page is one, so the example shows what development draws:

debug()
<div mix={[debug(), ...]}>debug()</div>

Outlining descendants

Pass nested to outline every descendant as well, to see how each box of a layout sits, shown here as a development build draws it:

One
Two
Three
<div mix={[debug("nested"), ...]}>
	<div mix={[...]}>One</div>
	<div mix={[...]}>Two</div>
	<div mix={[...]}>Three</div>
</div>

Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

u.hover(u.debug())

Responsive design

Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

u.at("md", u.debug())

Signature

u.debug(mode?: boolean | "nested")
