react-creme (UI Toolkit for React), beta version out with 45+ components
A few months back, I announced a new UI Toolkit for React, and I got some great feedback from the r/reactjs community. Since then, I've been adding new features, fixing bugs, and refining the implementation.

Show HN: React-creme – A lightweight UI Toolkit / Component library for React
I'm prabhu, the creator of react-creme.
react-creme is a brand new UI toolkit (aka component library) for React.
# With 45+ High quality UI components, react-creme comes with an exhaustive list of ready to use performant UI Elements for building apps of any shape and size.
# Weighing just ~43kb (minzipped size), react-creme is light and i intend to keep it that way. The library has a very minimal dependency at the moment and the plan is to whittle down on external dependencies and make the lib completely independent in the future.
Salient features
- Written in Typescript.
- Accessible UI Components.
- Performant elements with features like virtualization baked in.
- Support for Themes.
- Support for all modern browsers.

Selectors for Humans, Hashes for Machines
One aspect of CSS modules that I truly appreciate is its ability to compress class names into very short hashes. This feature allows me to keep my CSS selectors as long and descriptive as needed, while still compressing them into concise three or four character hashes. It aligns with my rule for CSS: selectors should be written for human readability, but compressed for machine efficiency.

Architecture: Micro frontends
Use methodologies such as BEM, and technologies including CSS modules, CSS-in-JS, and Shadow DOM to isolate the styles of each micro-application and prevent conflicts, thus ensuring reliable encapsulation and modularity.

Use TailwindCSS prefixes for shared design system components
For many years, Culture Amp took the second option, and distributed shared components without compiled CSS. This meant that every app that consumed shared components needed to include the necessary CSS build tooling – at that time CSS Modules and node-sass – with a compatible version and configuration. This was relatively easy to set up, but over time proved difficult to maintain. When node-sass was deprecated in favour of (the much faster but slightly incompatible) Dart Sass, this demanded a difficult lock-step migration across all those codebases, which we have yet to achieve. And as new applications have switched to Tailwind for their own styles, they've had to continue to maintain those old build tools in parallel for the shared components' styles.

CSS Modules Still a Thing?
So CSS modules are a form of 3rd-party CSS-in-JS, where what you import are the class names, which are then usually obfuscated etc at compile time, and all the actual style declarations are (usually) compiled into a single css file or tag as part of the bundling process. You can read the og docs on'em here, and you've probably seen'em used in React like:
import styles from "./styles.css"; function Example(){ return (
Hello
); }They predate the ability to import non-js files in vanilla by a good while, and rely on the compile process to translate your
.css
files into.js
files that can be imported using whichever loader you use in your bundler.Import assertions are a vanilla way to import non-js files by telling the browser how to import them;
assert { type: "css" }
says to treat the file as CSS and create aCSSStyleSheet
,assert { type: "json" }
says to treat the file as JSON and create a JSON object - and hopefullyassert { type: "html" }
will hopefully arrive soon and create a#document-fragment
or something similar.Hope that clears it up!

Extensions of CSS: for example, Sass, Less, Tailwind, CSS Modules, to make stuff look a certain way on your own.

Creating a Component Library Fast🚀(using Vite's library mode)
The components are styled with CSS modules. When building the library, these styles will get transformed to normal CSS style sheets. This means that the consuming application will not even be required to support CSS modules. (In the future I want to extend this tutorial to use vanilla-extract instead.)

All 7 ways to deal with CSS most never tried
NextJS comes with built-in support for CSS Modules which allows you to scope your styles locally in individual components without worrying about name collisions or messing up other parts of the codebase.

Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
CSS modules are not to be confused with mixins, as they serve the opposite purpose. While mixins are components or functions to be reused globally, modules are style sheets with a local scope used in a similar way as styled components in React.

The Future of CSS
CSS Modules CSS Modules is a pre-processing step: by default, styles are scoped locally to the current component, and the transpiler ensures no conflicts.
