AngularJS: CSS in JS
I was intrigued by the slides from Vjeux entitled “React: CSS in JS” (which is very good stuff and I would encourage you to read through it). I decided to see what it would look like to create something similar with Angular. turns out it’s not that bad and it’s actually kind of refreshing. I think I’ll keep looking into this…
Here’s a demo that I built when experimenting with the concept:
So there’s definitely room for additional abstractions here to make it easier to manage, but I can see some serious potential with this approach and will definitely investigate it further (perhaps even release a library with the necessary abstractions). It’s actually sort of delightful to write styles this way…
What are your thoughts on this? In my mind, I see ReactJS personified as a ninja with a sword called JavaScript and he’s whacking away at HTML and CSS (not as cool ninjas apparently) because he doesn’t need them anymore. Maybe that’s a little strong for what is actually going on, but I think the imagery is kind of cool.
