styled-components VS Aphrodite

I'm not sure if this is a response to my comment about styled-components. If so, styled-components is something specific. https://styled-components.com/ (Emotions library also has this as an option too). It's not just a wrapper. And you wouldn't be able to use it in conjunction with bootstrap classes unless you took additional steps in the setup. But nevermind about this. It's not necessary, I was just taking a guess as to what code you were referring to.

As already mentioned in the previous section, a certain flavor of functional programming can be quite elegant in JavaScript. The simplicity of the object model makes it very convenient to organize and operate on data. Dynamic typing and type coercion allows you to take certain shortcuts (unless you are trying to sort a list of numbers...). Use the strengths of whatever language you are using to your advantage. It is good to push the boundaries of the language to create new things. For example, styled components and GraphQL have normalized the use of tagged template literals for domain specific languages (DSLs). But in general, you'll have a much better time working with the grain of the language than against it.

I want to be clear that I am far from a TailwindCSS hater. I think the framework is awesome and I am looking forward to its future in the space. I definitely feel like I need more time with it and more experience working with it, but right now I'm more excited about Styled Components (which I've taken a love to from Josh W. Comeau's CSS for JavaScript Developers Course) and also Vanilla Extract which I plan to look into more for future projects. With other tools like Chakra UI also looming over my shoulder competing for my headspace with styling, these small frustrations from Tailwind keep adding up and I'm not sure if I'll be using it for my own personal projects anymore.

You could checkout styled-components which allows you to make components and add css to them in javascript. With this, you can create variants, and wherever you need a specific variant, just create a prop called variant, and pass in which specific style of component you need. Note you do need the babel-plugin-styled-components for it to work in nextjs

Yo it dis style components (and they rock)

Let's face the fact that this calculation is not straightforward and hard to read, even when you are familiar with the technique. Luckily for us, we can extract SASS mixins, or utility functions for various CSS-in-JS libraries (like styled-components).

This article aims to explain how we could use react-hot-toast and styled-components to create some beautiful-looking toast messages 😉
