18. You should use it By moving from mere convention towards enforcing locally-scoped styles by default, we’ve now improved the baseline quality of our styles. Primarily, CSS-in-JS boosts my confidence. I can add, change and delete CSS without any unexpected consequences. Mark Dalgleish CSS-modules co-creator Max Stoiber Styled-component co-creator Ideally, I'd like CSS-in-JS to become a proving ground for new ideas, that can get subsumed into future CSS specs, the way Sass has done Glen Maddern Styled-component & CSS-modules co-creator

20. Should us?
21. Same CSS but free from style conflicts Frustrations of the class name collisions and specificity wars
22. state-based styling <Button secondary value=‘secondary’ /> <Button primary value=‘primary’ /> <Button disabled value=‘disabled’ /> API to describe state-based styles in a better way than using a bunch of conditional class names
23. Critical rendering styles Send only the critical CSS to the user for a rapid first paint
24. Single File Component By eliminate the source order, SFC pattern is possible. For small component, this pattern is very handy.
25. Inline styling Yes! with pseudos and media queries
26. Utility components serves as a wrapper component for most of the CSS utility needs. <Box p={‘10px 5px’} m={‘10px 5px’} > <Component1 /> </Box> <Box m={‘10px 5px’} display={‘flex’} justifyContent={‘center’} alignItems={‘center’} > <Component1 /> </Box>
27. Reusability Reuse component <Article p={‘10px 5px’ m={‘10px 5px’}> <Component1 /> </Article>
28. Reusability Reuse ruleset const StyledButton = styled.button` ${props => props.disabled && css` ${disabled} ` ` const StyledContainer = styled(Box)` overflow: auto; max-height: 300px; ${customScrollbar} `
29. Conclusion • Component styles should be scoped and isolated by default to its component. • Conventions is unwritten law that doesn’t enforce people to obey it. • CSS-in-JS is a solution for real problems. • CSS with combination of JS offered cool out-of-the-box features. You should write CSS in JS!
