League of Extraordinary Packages VS flynt

If you want some inspiration try to look at the packages released by the PHP League. They are of very high quality and usable across multiple projects.

The underlying problem I see that Tailwind solves is component-izing a single idea. It does that pretty well. You can point to a single stack of code and say "this one thing is a navbar" and it's easy to know where to make changes. No searching, no stress.

What I haven't seen Tailwind do well on my projects is respond to change in the same way other methods would. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that the several projects I've seen, it was a big pain.

A method I've been quite fond of to accomplish the same task, but remove the difficulties this author's other posts articulate, is to recreate the concept of a component in a single folder. Much like you would a Vue single-file component. If you read the "Components" heading here you'll get a good feel for it by looking at the folder/file structure:

* https://github.com/flyntwp/flynt#components

That same idea I've enabled in a framework/language-agnostic way with an NPM module I created (not public). It watches the folder, namespaces everything like a single-file Vue component (using a manifest name or defaults to the folder name), and with a bit of config you can even do intelligent vendor/tree-shaking across all components and themes. You can even have components inherit theme sass/js files.

This solution is nice because devs get the "one source of editing" in a single folder, it's performant, and it's agnostic to language/frameworks. Point to a folder of components, specify a dist folder, and you're done unless you want to modify config. Parallel execution of all components being built, it's also fast!

I'm only saying all of this because I'm curious if there are Tailwind users out there that could teach me if Tailwind solves other problems I'm not seeing. Oor if this type of solution would be something I should open source. It ends up being a pretty simple Webpack file under the hood.

I've just started using Flynt WP for Wordpress custom themes and I really love it. However, I don't have much experience with how building js files (such as this for example https://github.com/flyntwp/flynt/blob/master/Components/NavigationBurger/script.js) work so I was wondering if anybody would be so kind to give me some quick advice on them.

I was wondering if it was possible to add pure jQuery to the Flynt WP Starter Theme, which is component-based. I'm not very comfortable using JS as they are writing it, but I just might have to learn it. I was wondering if there were other options. Here you can find their overall theme repository https://github.com/flyntwp/flynt and here an example of script.js https://github.com/flyntwp/flynt/blob/master/Components/NavigationBurger/script.js
