A tiny utility for conditionally joining classNames together.

npm install mcn # or yarn add mcn or pnpm add mcn

This utility is similar to clx or classnames with an additional tuple syntax [boolean, show if true, show if false]. It also difers in that it infers the literal string type which means if you hover over a variable in your IDE you will see the assigned classnames.

Usage

import { cn  } from 'mcn'

cn('rounded-full', active && 'bg-blue')

cn([active, 'border-black', 'border-white'], { 'text-white': active })

cn('bg-white', [active, 'border-blue'])

cn('bg-white', { 'border-blue': active })
// Infered type ("bg-white" | "bg-white border-blue")

cn('bg-white', [active, 'border-blue', 'border-white'] as const)
// Infered type ("bg-white border-blue" | "bg-white border-white")

// Falsy values are ignored
cn(null, undefined, false, true)
