Same. I also prefer that tailwind is framework agnostic, meanwhile stylex is yet another emotion-like library built for react. I'm kinda done with react on personal projects and wish I could stop using it at work (solidjs ftw!), so I'd like my main styling tool to be framework agnostic.

got same sensation, that styleX is similar to MaterialUI in styling. Seems therefore useless. But might be wrong

I really don’t know why some youtubers (surprisingly Theo as well) are so excited to adopt new libraries and “kill” stable ones. StyleX is pretty much the same with RN’s Stylesheet module and CSS IN JS modules of other js libraries. Anyways, thanks for your input and nice explanation, happy holidays mate! Edit: apparently stylex has a few useful stuff under its sleeve like dropping unused classes at build time or spreading style.create with predefined classes. In other words, it would be unfair to say that it brings nothing new to the table. But still jumping back and forth between the html element and styling (in same or different file) is the last thing I want to do after Tailwind’s magic.

in my opinion, after trying tailwind, this was the real reason i didn't go back to regular css or styled components. naming classes when you have a complex html structure is pain in the asssss, you try to find class name for something that doesn't have any logic.. i apply variants using data attributes as selectors, i don't do merging, the claass string is complicated but i think this would be solved not by a library but instead with editors tools, like some extension to group separately the breakpoint classes and the data attribute selectors ... i reallly want to work on an extension to do that

I think Tailwindcss is still the 👑. In my opinion StyleX is just similar to styled component🤔

StyleX reminds me of the ReactCss package. I don’t see stylex being needed for most use cases other than in large projects/orgs where a custom design system is needed. Probably won’t ever use it other than to test it out, but it seems pretty cool though pretty cool though

I find it so hard to believe that so many KZreadrs covering StyleX are treating it like revolutionary new technology and reviewing it like something new and completely ignoring that the technology actually came from react native, also by Facebook.

Hi Josh, i want to ask something, when we use ISR in nextjs and set the revalidate like 60 seconds, if I create data in database, then I go to for example user page by id, even though the revalidate not touching the 60 seconds can i read the new user from the database? or it should like wait for 60 sec to get the data from db to the build page? need some explanation please

Maybe it just being regular CSS means you can throw in something like Open Props by Adam Argyle to provide good looking defaults. It has text, gradients, shadows e.t.c. implemented as CSS props.

There is a css selector called data-* , the * means you can call it as you want in html and pass everything to it. You can then use css to select this case and apply specific style without having to create a class. I feel css in js libraries try to solve an issue that does not exist

Well said!

Very informative, ty Josh!

I care more about what colors, fonts, spacing, margins, and borders I use than how I apply them. Most approaches are fine for me and i will give stylex a try, but I prefer Tailwind atm because of its headless approach and similarity to plain CSS.

I don't get it , we already have cn, tailwind-merge & cva for that? Not sure about the use case for Style X.

For tailwind there's tailwind merge and tailwind cva for that sort of thing, stylex seems a lot like vanilla-extract / pandacss with vanilla-extract one downside is that the styles need to be in they're own seperate code file, with pandacss creating libraries using it can be a bit compliated due to the way it generates the css.

This is Absolutely not for small-mid/solo projects at all. More typing demands can tire your fingers and brain. The advantage of TailwindCSS is that it is straightforward, requiring less typing, so it's less tiring on the brain.

Hey bro, have you heard the clsx or twMerge ?

okay so in practices they have css classes but defined in js with all the benifits with that but that gets compiled into css so no slowdown - great!

Something I don't understand is what's special about this library when react already has style that has like the same syntax?

Hey I don't agree with you about the highlighted text color example at 3:36. Why would someone try to apply two different colprs on the same html element? It doesn't make any sense, that's why in my humble opinion TailwindCss displays a lint error.

When i adopted the tailwind css it significantly reduced the time i spent on designing, it's the major reson for me to use the tailwind, now i can deliver projects faster

How would conditional styling work with this new stylex ?

5 ай бұрын

stylex.props(someCondition ? styles.theStyleYouWantToApply : null) This, along with "last applied styles always wins" makes this such a fantastic predictable library to write scalable css with and a lot of people seem to be sleeping on it.

5:00 in your example you made it seem like the default is white, while it's variant is blue or red. of course the default is text color, while variants are background colors. so in your example the default is actually background color "none" and not white. what an odd example. not sure if this is what you were going for.

Doesn't this look exactly like Material UI 4 + clsx?

Stylex looks like a big ass javascript css object. Why should I use it? Why can’t I just use plain object?

The "alternative_highlited" example could also be done with Tailwind with class-variance-authority(cva). It's actually what some ui libraries like ShadCN use for their variants!

stylex compiles it all down to regular css. it looks and feels like css-in-js, without any of the downfalls that css-in-js came with. stylex is actually quite a big game changer, people just dont like new things. it looks and feels familiar, which is a good thing in my opinion. It also compiles the css in an intelligent manner, resulting in small, performant css bundles

I don't get it. It looks like a styled-components, I personally love that styling but learned Tailwind and it's much more easier without overcomplicating things IMHO it's the best solution for writing clean components / web components. What's the point of rewind?

Some day everyone will back to use normal css file

This isnt even the first time this was done. Very similar library called treat does this very similarly

Imho to just wright CSS is the best solution for 90 % of my projects. To make it more complicated just makes it more complicated. Tailwind reminds me of times where we used font tags and later inline styles ...

Sooo... React Native Stylesheet?

Is that how Emotion CSS works?

Tailwind is not going anywhere, will still use it every time, its pure joy and power, my UI's are great since i started using tailwind.

I use tailwind variants and pretty much doing the same

0:55 Cool, so we basically bring HTML into jsx?! 👎👎

The overriding ability will let more unused Css to be there in the app. This is why I loved Tailwind as it highlights duplicacy and reduces the amount of unused Css.

No way near to kill tailwind. I am not gonna make whole big object of styles and put it in elements. It will make the component uglier and i don't want ugly code. Tailwind is super cool ND with shadcn-ui it has become a giant and go to css framework for developers.

You didnt mention the primary benefit onlf styleX, its compile time based, meaning it will output only the styles needed, unlike styled components like emotion, i also dont understand how you think spreading props into jsx is more readable then named compoennts, you literally end up repeating a lot of logic just to apply styles, i also cant stand writing css in object notation, it wont convert me from emotion just yet 😂
