@vicbergquist Vue Conf Toronto
The How 😯 Turn it into a string gradientString() { // TYPE const type = this.general.type // REPEATING const repeat = this.general.repeat // COLORS const colors = this.colorStops // COMMENT const comment = this.general.comment // DEGREE const degree = this.general.degree.size + this.general.degree.unit // BOX const box = this.boxCombined // SHAPE const shape = this.shapeCombined
}
if (type === 'radial-gradient') { return /* ${comment} */ ${type}(${shape}, ${colors}) ${repeat} ${box} } else if (type === 'linear-gradient' && this.general.degree.size > 0) { return /* ${comment} */ ${type}(${degree}, ${colors}) ${repeat} ${box} } else if (type === 'linear-gradient') { return /* ${comment} */ ${type}(${colors}) ${repeat} ${box} }
