Overview

The stylefy project is a tool that allows developers to define CSS styles as Clojure data and easily attach them to HTML elements without the need for writing selectors. This approach makes it easier to write and maintain style code. Originally created for front-end development, stylefy can now be used on both web browsers and servers. It utilizes Garden for CSS conversions and offers features such as defining styles as Clojure data, supporting pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, scoping, and vendor prefixes. It also provides caching options, a small and simple core API, and support for automatic style reloading.
