StyleX – Meta's styling library

Re:StyleX – Meta's styling library by willsmith72 on Tuesday December 05, 2023 @11:05PM (#38540376)

e.g. using mui sx. the downside is the runtime performance cost

https://mui.com/system/getting-started/usage/#performance-tr...

i don't want to reuse or compose my styles, i just want to add alignSelf: 'flex-end' and then easily be able to change it and see the styles in one place, without leaving the component definition. the reusability and composition is at the component level

Thanks! Great reason this beats MUI.

Not trying to hate on atomic CSS, we've had composable classes and style tokens for a long time, they work well. Even one of the devs on this project commented on them here:

The docs here mention the downsides though.

Not at all, mui gives you the option to do either.

I don't want my style library being opinionated about my coding style.

Ohh I see, I honestly didn't click the first time. You meant sx in MUI, not StyleX. We're gonna need more names.
