Hi @dreamer9067. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To use Less files for your components, you can use a tool like Gulp to compile your Less files into CSS. Here's an example of a
gulpfile.js
that you can create in the root of your repo:
After creating this file, you can run npx gulp less
to compile your Less files into CSS.
However, please note that Ant Design has removed less
and adopted CSS-in-JS
for better support of dynamic themes in its v5 version. If you're using Ant Design v5 or later, you might need to consider this change.

@kapa.ai how can i isolate my styles to a particular component??
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To isolate styles to a particular component in React, you can use CSS Modules. CSS Modules automatically generate unique class names for your styles, so they won't conflict with styles for other components.
Here's an example of how to use CSS Modules with a component:
In this example, the
Search
component imports its styles from Search.module.css
. The styles defined in this file will only apply to elements in the Search
component that use them.
Here's an example of what Search.module.css
might look like:
In this CSS file, a .search
class is defined. This class can be applied to elements in the Search
component by referring to styles.search
.

@kapa.ai can i use craco, to integrate less in the refine antd project??
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the extracts, there's no specific mention or guide on using CRACO (Create React App Configuration Override) to integrate Less in a Refine Ant Design project.
However, it's important to note that Ant Design has moved away from Less and adopted CSS-in-JS for better support of dynamic themes in its v5 version. If you're using Ant Design v5 or later, you might need to consider this change.
For more detailed information, you may want to refer to the official documentation or community resources of CRACO, Less, and Ant Design.

@kapa.ai how to use css files after running gulp command??
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
After running the Gulp command, your Less files are compiled into CSS files. These CSS files are then placed in the directory specified in your
gulpfile.js
. In the provided example, the destination is set to the public
directory.
To use these CSS files in your React components, you can import them directly. For example, if you have a CSS file named antd.dark-theme.css
in your public
directory, you can import it in your App.tsx
file like this:
In the context of a Refine project, you can use the react-css-theme-switcher
package to switch between different themes (light and dark) at runtime. Here's an example of how to use it:
In this example, antd.dark-theme.css
and antd.light-theme.css
are the CSS files generated by Gulp. The ThemeSwitcherProvider
component allows you to switch between these themes at runtime.
