npm i corners

pnpm add corners

Create react components with angled or smooth-rounded corners.

• Features
• API
• Examples

Features

• premade component factories:

  const MyRoundedButton = rounded.button
  

• make your own factory:

  const dogEared = corners(chamfer, null, null, null).size(40)
  const MyDogEaredButton = dogEared.button
  

• CSS clip-path ensures corners are rendered as empty space
• Components may be dynamically sized: a resize observer is used to detect changes to component size and update the clip-path
• Specify the corner size when calling a factory (e.g. rounded.size(10).div)
• Support for drop shadows (e.g. corners(round).options({shadow: {...}}).div)
• Support for positioning elements outside of the target element
• Clipping Paths that are inset (or spread ?) from the target element
• Layers that are inset or spread from the target element
• Simultaneous use of clipping path and layers

cornerSize	number	No	Equivalent to N in css border-radius: Npx
useClipPath	boolean	No	true is equivalent to css overflow: hidden
above	Partial<Layer>[]	No	Layers with the same shape as the component, but rendered above the component
below	Partial<Layer>[]	No	Layers with the same shape as the component, but rendered below the component

DrawCorner

(p1, p2, idx) => pathPoints

A function that draws a corner

Argument	Type	Required?	Description
p1	{ x: number; y: number; }	Yes	The first point of the corner
p2	{ x: number; y: number; }	Yes	The second point of the corner
idx	number	Yes	The index of the corner. 0 = top right, 1 = bottom right, 2 = bottom left, 3 = top left.

Returns	Type	Description
pathPoints	string[]	svg path commands

Layer

A layer takes the same shape as the component it is applied to.

Property	Type	Required?	Description
color	string	Yes	The color of the layer
x	number	Yes	The x offset of the layer
y	number	Yes	The y offset of the layer
blur	number	Yes	The blur radius of the layer
spread	number	Yes	The spread radius of the layer
stroke	Stroke	No	The stroke of the layer

Examples

Make a "dog-eared" component

 /¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
/          |
|          |
|__________|

(it should look like a dog-eared page)

import type { FC } from "react"
import corners, { chamfer } from "corners"

const upperLeftDogeared = corners(null, null, null, chamfer).with({ cornerSize: 20 })

const DogearedDiv = upperLeftDogeared.div

const MyComponent: FC = () => (
  <DogEaredDiv style={{ background: "black" }}>
    Hello, World!
  </DogEaredDiv>
)

Make a "squircled" component with a drop shadow

import type { FC } from "react"
import { rounded } from "corners"

const LAYER: Record<string, Partial<Layer>> = {
  FAINT_SHADOW: { color: `#0003`, spread: -4, blur: 12, y: -4 },
  LIGHT_FILL: { color: `#f3f3f3` },
}
const RoundedSpanWithShadow = rounded.span.with({
  cornerSize: 15,
  below: [LAYER.LIGHT_FILL, LAYER.FAINT_SHADOW],
  useClipPath: false,
})

const MyComponent: FC = () => (
  <RoundedSpanWithShadow>
    Hello, World!
  </RoundedSpanWithShadow>
)
