You probably heard terms like CSS-in-JS, Styled Components, Radium, Aphrodite and you’re left there hanging “why is this a thing? — I’m perfectly happy with CSS-in-CSS (CSS in .css).”
I’m here to shine some light on why this is a thing and hopefully we will least understand the concept and understand why it’s a thing. In addition, please feel free to use CSS-in-CSS — on no terms are you obligated to use CSS-in-JS. Also, use whatever works best for you and makes you happy is hands down the best solution, always-always!
CSS-in-JS is a delicate and controversial topic. And, I’m advocating having an open mind and weighing if this makes sense to you — ask yourself “will it improve my workflow?” — in the end — that’s the only thing that matters — use tools that make you happier and more productive!
I feel awkward having to maintain a huge folder of stylesheets. Not to mention, i would like to try different approaches. Also, I saw many people asking if there are new styling ideas. CSS-in-JS is so far the best concept.
