Atomizer VS ramda

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.

JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/

It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.

But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

Other libraries to check out are pratica and ramda

I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

I'm going to be honest. You probably don't need to use currying in JavaScript. In fact, trying to fit it in your code is going to do more harm than good, unless it's just for fun. Currying only becomes useful when you fully embrace functional programming, which, in JavaScript, means using a library like Ramda instead of the standard built-in functions.

Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)
