Why not Bootstrap?
Don't want to look the same
source: louderthanten.com/coax/design-machines
Configurable but can cause bloat
Grids are old news
source: www.zingdesign.com/5-reasons-not-to-use-twitter-bootstrap
flex box, grids & shapes
Requires app developers to remember classes
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block”> Click Me </button>
Often doesn’t fit our design systems
Not just CSS
Interactions
Events
Tracking
Why use React?
Declarative
<div> <span> </span> </div>
<Biography> <Name> </Name> </Biography>
Application Styling
Styling Interaction Events

stateless functional components
function Button() { return <button /> }
function Button() { return <button /> }
MARKUP IN JAVASCRIPT?!?!
JSX XML in JavaScript
<button />
React.createElement(“button”)
React.DOM.button()
function Button() { return React.DOM.button() }
function Button() { return <button /> }
creating react classes
<button class=“rounded”>… <button class=“horrible”>… <button class=“aaargh”>… <button class=“checkout”>… <button class=“order”>…
<Button>Close</Button> <Button>Submit</Button> <Button>What Is This?</… <Button>Checkout Now</… <Button>Order Now</Button>
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
> document.getElementById('id').class < undefined > document.getElementById('id').className < “my-class"
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
React.PropTypes Baked In Validation Throws errors when used incorrectly
React.PropTypes Uses JavaScript data types eg. string, number, object, array,
bool
React.PropTypes Acts as documentation
React.PropTypes JSX syntax similar to HTML attributes
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
var Button = React.createClass({ propTypes: { children: React.PropTypes.string }, render:
function() { return ( <button className=“component-button"> {this.props.children} </button> ) } })
<Button>Close</Button> <Button>Submit</Button> <Button>What Is This?</… <Button>Checkout Now</… <Button>Order Now</Button>
JedWatson/classnames
<Button large>Submit</Button> <Button danger>Submit</Button>
<Button large={true}>Submit</Button> <Button danger={true}>Submit</Button>
propTypes: { // sizes small: React.PropTypes.bool, large: React.PropTypes.bool, // colors
primary: React.PropTypes.bool, danger: React.PropTypes.bool }
import classNames from ‘class-names’ classNames({ ‘btn’: true, ‘btn-small’: this.props.small, ‘btn-large’:
this.props.large, ‘btn-primary’: this.props.primary, ‘btn-danger’: this.props.danger });
<Button large danger>Submit</Button> “btn btn-large btn-danger"
Styling
global scope
inline styles
INLINE STYLES ARE SUPER BAD!!!!!111
Unmaintainable codebase
Styling with components Unmaintainable codebase
Updating styling throughout DOM is tough
React handles DOM manipulation efficiently Updating styling throughout DOM is
tough
var anchorCSS = { color: ‘#333’, textDecoration: ‘none’ } <a
style={anchorCSS} ></a>
JavaScript can’t do everything CSS Can
Not future proof
modular css
None
import styles from ‘./components/button.css’ <Button className={styles.base}>Hi</Button>
“components_button__base__37495f”
.base { /* default styling */ } .error { composes:
base; /* extra styling for error */ }
import styles from ‘./components/input.css’ <input className={styles.error} />
“components_input__base__37495f components_input__error__a8g3kd”
