  • Reactjs in Drupal with WebPack
    2 projects | dev.to | 23 Sep 2022
    As mentioned earlier, we will be continuing from a previous blog repo about Webpack basics (optimized branch), so we keep this blog shorter and only include the important details. We had already set up webpack to work well with loaders like post-css and babel. We will only add @babel/preset-react as a dev dependency, update the babel.config.js presets to include this, update webpack.config.js to resolve both .js and .jsx files extension and of course do some cleanup, including deleting files that were specific to that blog, as well as updating the entry and output values (webpack.config.js) to match what we have in the *.libraries.yml.

    Our blog is about improvement, so it's better if we start with something to improve upon.I went ahead and made an app and hosted it on heroku, also pushed its code to github (branch name: unoptimized). The final code is also available on github (branch name: optimized).

  • Styling React 2023 edition
    11 projects | dev.to | 3 Nov 2023
    I use PostCSS to extend CSS’s features and to add a few things that make writing styles a little more convenient, but it could easily be swapped for another preprocessor like Sass or vanilla CSS. It’s up to you. You can view my PostCSS config here.

  • How to setup a simple static website using Svelte (with login)
    5 projects | dev.to | 19 May 2023
    Usually, one of the first things I do on creating a new web app is to throw a UI library in to help style components. There are several UI libraries that can be used by Svelte, but in this case I went with daisyUI because it's a fairly popular UI library which includes tailwind. To install daisyUI, you first need to install tailwind. There's a few different ways to do this (such as this guide), but the easiest way I've found is the following command, which also adds PostCSS and AutoPrefixer:
  • Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
    15 projects | dev.to | 30 Mar 2023
    Vanilla CSS has taken a similar path with ambitious working drafts, better browser support, and PostCSS to fill the gap for user agents lagging behind. So why is Sass/SCSS still so popular? Maybe we go so used to it that we might have forgotten what problems it was meant to solve in the first place.

  • When Vite ignores your Browserslist configuration
    9 projects | dev.to | 26 Dec 2022
    Actually, Vite doesn’t support Browserslist at all: the only reason it “seems” to work well with CSS is because Vite uses PostCSS, which itself natively uses Browserslist. We could say that Vite supports Browserslist by proxy, for CSS.
