5 + # cn (ClassNames) Utility Function
6 +
7 + The `cn` utility function is a lightweight, performant solution for combining class names with conditional logic.
8 +
9 + ## Installation
10 +
11 + ```typescript
12 + import { cn } from 'motoko/utils'
13 + ```
14 +
15 + ## API
16 +
17 + ```typescript
18 + type Argument = string | boolean | null | undefined | number
19 +
20 + cn(...args: Argument[]): string
21 + ```
22 +
23 + ## Examples
24 +
25 + ### Basic Usage
26 + ```typescript
27 + // Basic conditional classes
28 + cn('btn', true && 'active', false && 'disabled', 'large')
29 + // Result: "btn active large"
30 +
31 + // Falsy value filtering
32 + cn('btn', null, undefined, false, 'primary')
33 + // Result: "btn primary"
34 + ```
35 +
36 + ## Performance Notes
37 +
38 + - Uses traditional for loops instead of for-of for ~20-40% better performance
39 + - Single-pass algorithm with minimal string operations
40 + - Optimized for common React component patterns
41 +
42 + ## Common Patterns
43 +
44 + ### Conditional Classes
45 + ```typescript
46 + const className = cn(
47 + 'base-class',
48 + isActive && 'active',
49 + isDisabled && 'disabled',
50 + variant && `variant-${variant}`
51 + )
52 + ```
53 +
54 + ### CSS Modules
55 + ```typescript
56 + import styles from './Component.module.scss'
57 +
58 + const className = cn(
59 + styles.base,
60 + isError && styles.error,
61 + props.className
62 + )
63 + ```
64 +
65 + ### Component Props
66 + ```typescript
67 + interface ButtonProps {
68 + variant: 'primary' | 'secondary'
69 + disabled?: boolean
70 + className?: string
71 + }
72 +
73 + const Button = ({ variant, disabled, className, ...props }: ButtonProps) => (
74 + <button
75 + className={cn('btn', `btn--${variant}`, disabled && 'btn--disabled', className)}
76 + {...props}
77 + />
78 + )
79 + ```
80 +
81 + ## Migration from clsx/classnames
82 +
83 + Direct replacement for most use cases:
84 +
85 + ```typescript
86 + // Before (clsx)
87 + import clsx from 'clsx'
88 + const className = clsx('btn', isActive && 'active')
89 +
90 + // After (cn)
91 + import { cn } from 'motoko/utils'
92 + const className = cn('btn', isActive && 'active')
93 + ```
94 +
95 + ## Best Practices
96 +
97 + 1. **Order matters**: Place base classes first, then conditional classes
98 + 2. **Use with CSS Modules**: Perfect for scoped styling
99 + 3. **Component composition**: Always accept `className` prop for extensibility
100 + 4. **Performance**: Prefer `cn` over template literals for conditional classes
