Atomizer VS ESLint

Tailwind CSS is a CSS framework that has gained incredible popularity, with usage skyrocketing 40% in three years, according to the State of CSS 2022. It offers benefits such as development speed, maintainability, and gzip optimization. As a result, it is expected to exceed 50% in the 2023 survey. However, the readability of Tailwind CSS decreases sharply as the style becomes more complex, which is a typical disadvantage of the utility-first approach. Personally, I recommend my library, CSS Lube, but in this article, I would like to introduce some simple tips that can improve the developer experience when using the Atomic CSS approach.

Language - Master is a language, but it was originally inspired by ACSS's concept of atomic classes.

Tailwind and React are two leading technologies in their sphere. Tailwind CSS simplifies the concept of Atomic CSS, enabling developers to style their UI by adding some classes to their markup. And with the performance improvements that come with the new JIT compiler, Tailwind CSS has become a clear developer's favorite.

Atomic frameworks like Atomic CSS and Tailwind takes a single purpose approach to selectors, so CSS properties are naturally never overlapping – this is also why Tailwind's @apply is an anti-pattern when overused.

It sure is ugly-looking but it works well! Drawing inspiration from Atomic CSS and utility classes (1 class = 1 style), Tailwind makes a few strong design decisions:

Atomic CSS is the approach to CSS architecture that favors small, single-purpose classes with names based on visual function.

There are all kinds of approaches people take to maintain clean HTML/CSS, such as BEM or Atomic CSS.

ESLint: A pluggable and configurable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

1. Lack of Static Code Analysis Static code analysis tools like TypeScript and ESLint play a crucial role in identifying and preventing bugs. TypeScript provides static typing, enhancing the robustness of the code. ESLint detects issues and enforces coding standards. The absence of these tools can significantly elevate the likelihood of bugs due to the lack of early detection and guidance provided during development.
