implicit-clsx VS clsx

Working example https://github.com/iamandrewluca/implicit-clsx

To make class-based Tailwind easy to use, we used the clsx library to help manipulate class names. However, using clsx and Tailwind together often doesn't work as intended.

clsx is a tiny utility for constructing className strings conditionally, I use it in conjunction with tailwind-merge which merges Tailwind CSS classes without style conflicts.

I am familiar with the library clsx although I have never used it personally. I don't often have the need for conditional classes and when I do it's usually an inline ternary expression in the style or className prop. Is that bad/good? Are there any other popular libraries other than clsx, or anti-patterns I should be aware of when doing conditional classes in React? Thanks fam

I use CLSX for all tailwind dynamic styles. Super simple, lightweight and now is almost part of every project I build haha

Clsx

Then use something like clsx

For conditionally applying or removing classes, you should take a look at clsx.

clsx has better performance over the classnames package. That’s why it was created. Take a look at their benchmarks in the repo.

Hey, I'll have you know I have lots of fun using Tailwind with clsx =)
