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 a detailed instruction on how to bootstrap a project from a template on this page.

PostCSS setup

Install PostCSS plugins and postcss-preset-mantine:

Create 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 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 gatsby-ssr.tsx with the following content:

import React from 'react';
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 gatsby-browser.tsx 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 React from 'react';
import { MantineProvider } from '@mantine/core';
import { theme } from './src/theme';

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

All set! Start 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';
