An important caveat here, these problems tend to be focused on real-world examples that every-day developers have run into, or have run into without even realizing it and resorting to hack-y work arounds. This is not to say that problems “at scale” are not important, but if we can narrow the scope to problems that every-day developers, and myself, have faced, we can more clearly define the problems in more approachable terms and concepts. In illustrating these real-world problems, the foundational basis for the creation of these CSS in JS techniques will be made evident.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"the problems\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>For these first examples, let’s say that we’re a team of front-end developers working on a component library to be used throughout a company’s internal application suite.

Each of these techniques requires manual testing and validation, and is not something that every developer has available to them.</p>\\n<p>CSS in JS gives you confidence that by removing this particular component, you’re removing style code applicable to this component <em>only</em>.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"dead code-elimination\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>Theming, stylistic concerns (e.g. padding, line-height, etc.), and other possibly shared constants are a natural and intuitive fit to be colocated within your JavaScript.

Additionally, inline styles can be difficult to override, which makes components that use them historically harder to extend.</p>\\n<p>You can certainly go this route, and several libraries exist to allow for this implementation while adding some of these needed features back, of particular note is <a href=\\\"https://github.com/FormidableLabs/radium\\\">Radium</a>.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAALCAYAAAB/Ca1DAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAABCklEQVQoz2PgkVb4T03MAGNwS8mTbQiyXgZkARDNJSn3n1NCFojl4GwOMB+CQWpgbA5xGRS9GC7klVH8L6So9l9EWR1M88kq/RdT0fwvpqr1X1RZ47+wkhpYDUheGCgvoa4NVoPhQhDmBWI2Uan/2SXl/9v7J/6vbGz539Y34X9aftH/pJz8/xFJaf9rW9v/hyWk/G/o6ALibrCcgLwK2CdYvQzympSG7n9lA9P/WuY2/00dXf/L6xr+l9Mx+C+jpfdfw8zqv5K+CRirGpuDXQgzDKuXYYayi0mDXcsiLAEMJ0T4sQHF2YHhxi4mA1bDiWYYioHoEqCwAmFkeWQ+L47UwUCzdDhoDQQAZ5woeYAtIEsAAAAASUVORK5CYII='); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"is not\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>This is an example of an inline style, and one of the first methods advocated for CSS in JS.</p>\\n<p>This is <em>not</em> what I’d consider the best way to write CSS in JS, although it does have its place (particularly if props change very regularly, or in other instances when performance may suffer with rapid changes).</p>\\n<p>As noted, you lose out entirely on some of the best parts of CSS, so this doesn’t seem, to me, to be the best implementation of CSS in JS, or the one to reach for most readily.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"inline styles\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>It’s high time to begin talking about what CSS in JS actually <em>is</em>.

I’m from little ol’ Omaha, Nebraska, which I think most people looks a bit like this.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"about me\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/02-about-me-ca17484b9a37dfb8926469b2fa32f0ce-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/02-about-me-ca17484b9a37dfb8926469b2fa32f0ce-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/02-about-me-ca17484b9a37dfb8926469b2fa32f0ce-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/02-about-me-ca17484b9a37dfb8926469b2fa32f0ce-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/02-about-me-ca17484b9a37dfb8926469b2fa32f0ce-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAALCAYAAAB/Ca1DAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAAC7UlEQVQozx2Q2VpaBxRGeYhe585W29jExDjURGVQIAoN8ywgyCCJA4mKmIYiWgS1CoE0MYpGxE+GA0Jo7deXWz3txb7be/3/XpJ6s8WXmkC50aTaaiPctqnd3tLsdGh1vnIttNjaPiJZuiF20SBdabIrzmGtw/taC/+5gOGsgfGiTl64RXJ5U+O8KnBZb9IQ4S0RJghNTq+uqTSb7JyWUeki5C5rnAptCpU6x+UahdNL0mfXvL2o8e6qTqkl3rXbSO7u7uh2v/LXn12qjf+adfn4qcS7ZJbWP39TvKigsy6znT5mLrRBcDVB7iBHyBvhVWCV9aVN3q4lKF3fUGg0kOQO83TaHYRanWwmzx/FUxLLG4Ttfg5iv5CKJzFagwzLZukbkqIzOcnvZfA5/HgdPlxmDwH3IpVqFaHbQeJWa1l2L/DS4WVFTPXYfBikKp7dH8Q7Po1ba0EzY2JSaeThqByVWkM2mWLBOY/X5sHv9BHxv6Lw4YST8y9IoqEwAbMd7dNJzOoX6HVKLPpJVFIlpufPCbtNBH1OdOLOuGIKi8XI4U6SsNNLNLLMZfn6f+fFz2VSh5+QzA6PohoZx2N1EgouYjbLsNkfsRJyYzErRNBP6AwyAj4b0agdl0eOSS/HqrcQXIoS20pSfP+Bs89X7GVOkFh/thBdmSeR8HOcySCbGkAxNcjrl0HmbAY0agXKmV7kyj5MRhkLC2r8AS2Z39KsvNnEbHHiFZtG1uKsJ9JItrZDzIflBIIa/CElk9P9jI1/z9OJJyhUUtGdHKNlkOnZe7hsaiJLUuzzIyLwDcV8ikL+d/YPsmwmkixuxJForAM8m7rP6EQfY9Ie+h/0YjL3s7MfZbdQxrG5x4huBr3+BUeZXwmHlVhdD3F4hlFpHhBdtfHxaJd0MkE8tiY6dP3AkPRbenrvYbQ/Ri++FdsYE2HHhFNFdOtZvpnQMm1QUS6lOEi7cPh+xDL3hIHH3zE01sP6ax/7qTg5EfwvLlMBmnEDLQYAAAAASUVORK5CYII='); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"nebraska actual\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/03-nebraska-actual-29ffa558d8876c596975d258325ad683-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/03-nebraska-actual-29ffa558d8876c596975d258325ad683-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/03-nebraska-actual-29ffa558d8876c596975d258325ad683-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/03-nebraska-actual-29ffa558d8876c596975d258325ad683-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/03-nebraska-actual-29ffa558d8876c596975d258325ad683-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>I work at a great company called Object Partners.

An important caveat here, these problems tend to be focused on real-world examples that every-day developers have run into, or have run into without even realizing it and resorting to hack-y work arounds. This is not to say that problems “at scale” are not important, but if we can narrow the scope to problems that every-day developers, and myself, have faced, we can more clearly define the problems in more approachable terms and concepts. In illustrating these real-world problems, the foundational basis for the creation of these CSS in JS techniques will be made evident.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"the problems\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/08-the-problems-fa6db80ef14cfc6d39cf44af42f90402-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>For these first examples, let’s say that we’re a team of front-end developers working on a component library to be used throughout a company’s internal application suite.

Each of these techniques requires manual testing and validation, and is not something that every developer has available to them.</p>\\n<p>CSS in JS gives you confidence that by removing this particular component, you’re removing style code applicable to this component <em>only</em>.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"dead code-elimination\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/23-dead-code-elimination-e262a4ad50b63007003b171aee9e86e5-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>Theming, stylistic concerns (e.g. padding, line-height, etc.), and other possibly shared constants are a natural and intuitive fit to be colocated within your JavaScript.

Additionally, inline styles can be difficult to override, which makes components that use them historically harder to extend.</p>\\n<p>You can certainly go this route, and several libraries exist to allow for this implementation while adding some of these needed features back, of particular note is <a href=\\\"https://github.com/FormidableLabs/radium\\\">Radium</a>.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAALCAYAAAB/Ca1DAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAABCklEQVQoz2PgkVb4T03MAGNwS8mTbQiyXgZkARDNJSn3n1NCFojl4GwOMB+CQWpgbA5xGRS9GC7klVH8L6So9l9EWR1M88kq/RdT0fwvpqr1X1RZ47+wkhpYDUheGCgvoa4NVoPhQhDmBWI2Uan/2SXl/9v7J/6vbGz539Y34X9aftH/pJz8/xFJaf9rW9v/hyWk/G/o6ALibrCcgLwK2CdYvQzympSG7n9lA9P/WuY2/00dXf/L6xr+l9Mx+C+jpfdfw8zqv5K+CRirGpuDXQgzDKuXYYayi0mDXcsiLAEMJ0T4sQHF2YHhxi4mA1bDiWYYioHoEqCwAmFkeWQ+L47UwUCzdDhoDQQAZ5woeYAtIEsAAAAASUVORK5CYII='); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"is not\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/33-is-not-78258f166929d11641c453cd30f0342a-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>This is an example of an inline style, and one of the first methods advocated for CSS in JS.</p>\\n<p>This is <em>not</em> what I’d consider the best way to write CSS in JS, although it does have its place (particularly if props change very regularly, or in other instances when performance may suffer with rapid changes).</p>\\n<p>As noted, you lose out entirely on some of the best parts of CSS, so this doesn’t seem, to me, to be the best implementation of CSS in JS, or the one to reach for most readily.</p>\\n<p>\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\\\"\\n style=\\\"position: relative; display: block; ; max-width: 650px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\"\\n >\\n <span\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\\\"\\n >\\n <img\\n class=\\\"gatsby-resp-image-image\\\"\\n style=\\\"width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; vertical-align: middle; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 400px white;\\\"\\n alt=\\\"inline styles\\\"\\n title=\\\"\\\"\\n src=\\\"/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-83a8b.png\\\"\\n srcset=\\\"/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-8992e.png 163w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-ae0a7.png 325w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-83a8b.png 650w,\\n/interpreter/static/34-inline-styles-821e9a64959793e04b1684f2b3fff8d8-38f8d.png 800w\\\"\\n sizes=\\\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\\\"\\n />\\n </span>\\n </span>\\n </p>\\n<p>It’s high time to begin talking about what CSS in JS actually <em>is</em>.
