@itsjonq asked:
I would love to know if using Emotion (or some CSS-in-JS method) is a strategy folks are comfortable with.
comfortable enough for some refactors to happen with the primitive components.
Initial big convo on CSS-in-JS was discussed in this github pull.
There was some discussion in the meeting about this with points ranging from strong reservations against using CSS-in-JS, to it being a good fit for @wordpress/components.
While it’s not clear there was a definite decision at the meeting, there seemed to be some consensus around this final point made by @youknowriad:
My personal opinion is that I’m fine with it being explored if it’s only for @wordpress/components for now without impact on external API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.
