  • stylemapper

    Flexible utility to create styled and type-safe React components

  • Combining a utility-based CSS framework like Tailwind CSS with a small library I wrote called Slicknode Stylemapper.

  • styled-components

    Visual primitives for the component age. Use the best bits of ES6 and CSS to style your apps without stress 💅

  • There are plenty of ways to style React applications. From CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion, Styled Components or Stitches to writing CSS (or SCSS / SASS) and then leverage build tooling to bring everything together. They all can be a great fit, but I was never 100% satisfied with the approaches. Some lead to repetitive code, while others make it more difficult to use native CSS features. Sometimes the styles are hard to reuse, and other times they are hard to customize.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
