Warning: Elodin is still WIP and experimental. It is not recommended to use it in production yet. There might be unknown bugs and the APIs might change rapidly.

Elodin is a small styling language that aims to provide a universal way to author user interface styles.

• Component-based:
  Elodin styles are authored on component-base and fully encapsulated from other styles accounting for predictable styling without side-effects. It also enables automatic code-splitting where each component is rendered to a new file.
• Quick learning-curve:
  The syntax is a mix of CSS and JavaScript with some concepts from ReasonML and thus already familiar to many developers. It is declarative and unlike CSS only supports one value per property.
• Write once, use everywhere:
  Elodin compiles to a variety of different languages, platforms and libraries without having to change a single line. It's truly one file for all targets!
• Type-safe properties:
  The compiler will validate every property-value pair and throw on invalid rules resulting in solid code and bulletproof output. If it compiles, it works!
