classnames VS create-react-app

The component needs the classname dependency and a search icon which I referenced to work. So install the classname package and download the search icon below.

But of course, it is a button, so it could have multiple variants: primary and secondary(you can increase the number of customizable params, but we will limit it to 1, variant). To implement this you can use any library for combining classnames, for example, classnames, clsx. Let’s use the classic one, "classnames".

Use classnames and you can comma delimited your class names where needed.

To get started with our image modal implementation, i'll assume you already have a React project set up. For UI i’m using Tailwind CSS. But you can use any UI library as your wish. For the image cropping and rotating functionality, we'll be utilizing the react-easy-crop library. This library provides a simple and intuitive way to crop and interact with images and videos within a React component. We will also use the heroicons and classnames libraries in our tutorial. To install all the libraries and their dependencies, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory. Run the following command:

There is an NPM module called classnames that makes this a bit easier: https://www.npmjs.com/package/classnames

To use the global Tailwind types from styles/cssClasses.d.ts, I've leveraged a lot of work from this post, so credit goes there for a lot of the complex TypeScript wizardry that makes things work. In essence, it builds upon the classnames (or clsx) to provide a helper function that gives us with the type safety we're after. This cleverness means we get type checking that works with whitespace, multiple classes (e.g., "container p-5")and arbitrary values (e.g., "border-[5px]"). The input "container p-5 invalid-class" provides the nifty error message:

but I wouldn't recommend it, because I think the point of using tailwind is to not having to abstract class into component based style. it even better to write tailwind classes into the html directly and to use tailwind-fun sparingly and only if you needed to add logic to your classes. tailwind-fun purpose is more like of https://www.npmjs.com/package/classnames rather than any other css library

Use the classnames library, that way I can group the utility classes together (one line) and break them up into multiple lines, and additionally have some of them be conditional based on variables/parameters;

Create React App (CRA) abstracts away the complexity of configuring Webpack, Babel, and other build tools, allowing developers to focus on writing React code. It includes features such as hot module reloading for efficient development.

Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?

Inside the react-tutorial-app folder, to create a new React project runs the following command using create-react-appand for more details on how create-react-app works and other staff, please visit the official website: https://create-react-app.dev/

Before we embark on our journey, make sure you have React installed and a React project set up. If not, fear not! Create React App is your trusty sidekick for a quick start.
