styled-jsx VS nx

You'd rather use this over tailwind? Na...

styled-jsx -> A library with a lot of similar features like styled-components. Has some extra features here and there.

This isn't a new idea. CSS in JS is obviously a thing, but that usually implies having component code with CSS right alongside it in some sort of JS based syntax. There's also JSS which is a library for writing CSS with JS.

The CSS we'll use for the Gantt chart is included in the starter code. We've used Styled JSX, which comes with Next.js, to write scoped-styled components. There are some global styles in styles/globals.js. These global styles are added to our app in the Layout component in the components folder. The entire app is wrapped in this Layout component in the _app.js file, which is in the pages folder.

Styled JSX is what we're using at work right now, since we're using Next.js and it comes with this out of the box. We're actually using both SCSS modules for static styles and Styled JSX for dynamic styles. It's been great so far.

The previous three methods covered the best styling options if you prefer Utility CSS. But perhaps you are more of a CSS-in-JS kind of person. In which case, Styled-JSX might be up your alley.

With Nx, you can use the list of presets, but it is hardcoded. There is some flexibility for each with some options, but not enough to generate a more advanced workspace.

One notable feature is the ability to remember selected tabs. When you select a specific tab on a page, all other tabs on the page with the same name will also be selected. This selection will persist during your next visit to nx.dev.

Hono does have a template application for Vercel, but in my case, my requirements were different (aren't they always 😅). I was working in a monorepo (using nx) because I wanted to manage my libs, tests, and examples all together in a single place, instead of having different repos.

Recently, My coworker is using Nx to automate his workflow, including automated release using semantic version. I found this method quite useful, so I want to re-implement on single GitHub repositories (without Nx).

I started a discussion on GitHub concerning that subject: Design Nx Plugin Project Crystal
