Usage with Gatsby

Get started with a template

The easiest way to get started is to use one of the templates. All templates are configured correctly: they include PostCSS setup, ColorSchemeScript and other essential features. Some templates also include additional features like Jest, Storybook and ESLint.

If you are not familiar with GitHub, you can find detailed instructions on how to bootstrap a project from a template on this page.

	`@mantine/core`	Core components library: inputs, buttons, overlays, etc.
	`@mantine/form`	Form management library

Install dependencies:

yarn add @mantine/core @mantine/hooks

PostCSS setup

Install PostCSS plugins and postcss-preset-mantine:

yarn add --dev postcss postcss-preset-mantine postcss-simple-vars

Create a postcss.config.cjs file at the root of your application with the following content:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    'postcss-preset-mantine': {},
    'postcss-simple-vars': {
      variables: {
        'mantine-breakpoint-xs': '36em',
        'mantine-breakpoint-sm': '48em',
        'mantine-breakpoint-md': '62em',
        'mantine-breakpoint-lg': '75em',
        'mantine-breakpoint-xl': '88em',
      },
    },
  },
};

Setup

Create a src/theme.ts file with your theme override:

// src/theme.ts
import { createTheme } from '@mantine/core';

export const theme = createTheme({
  fontFamily: 'serif',
  // ... other theme override properties
});

Create a gatsby-ssr.tsx file with the following content:

import { ColorSchemeScript, MantineProvider } from '@mantine/core';
import { theme } from './src/theme';

export const onPreRenderHTML = ({
  getHeadComponents,
  replaceHeadComponents,
}) => {
  const headComponents = getHeadComponents();
  replaceHeadComponents([
    ...headComponents,
    <ColorSchemeScript key="color-scheme-script" />,
  ]);
};

export const wrapPageElement = ({ element }) => {
  return <MantineProvider theme={theme}>{element}</MantineProvider>;
};

Create a gatsby-browser.tsx file with the following content:

// Import styles of packages that you've installed.
// All packages except `@mantine/hooks` require styles imports
import '@mantine/core/styles.css';

import { MantineProvider } from '@mantine/core';
import { theme } from './src/theme';

export const wrapPageElement = ({ element }) => {
  return <MantineProvider theme={theme}>{element}</MantineProvider>;
};

All set! Start the development server:

npm run develop

CSS modules

By default, Gatsby has different syntax for importing CSS modules:

// Default syntax – will not work in Gatsby
import classes from './Demo.module.css';

// Gatsby syntax
import * as classes from './Demo.module.css';
