What is Atomic CSS? compose styles directly on HTML tags
instead of in abstract CSS classes
Normal: style composition in CSS classes .header { background: black;
padding: 10px; display: flex; } <div class='header'>
Normal: style composition in CSS classes .header { background: black;
padding: 10px; display: flex; } <div class='header'> Not normal: inline styles <div style='background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex;'>
Atomic CSS .bg-black { background: black; } .padding-s { padding:
10px; } .flex { display: flex; } <div class='bg-black padding-s flex'> Normal: style composition in CSS classes .header { background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex; } <div class='header'> Not normal: inline styles <div style='background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex;'>
why? Atomic CSS .bg-black { background: black; } .padding-s {
padding: 10px; } .flex { display: flex; } <div class='bg-black padding-s flex'> Normal: style composition in CSS classes .header { background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex; } <div class='header'> Not normal: inline styles <div style='background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex;'> 🚀P🚀E🚀R🚀F🚀O🚀R🚀M🚀A🚀N🚀C🚀E🚀 (among other reasons)
developing new features the normal way:
header.css .header { background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex; }
.header-logo { border: 0; }
header.css .header { background: black; padding: 10px; display: flex; }
.header-logo { border: 0; } footer.css .footer { background: black; padding: 10px; display: grid; } .footer-links { display: flex; flex-direction: column; }

yay! but...
Hand-coding Atomic CSS is gross Learning an abstraction bg-black border-xl
flex pad-s instead of just writing the CSS you already know
Hand-coding Atomic CSS is gross bg-black border-xl flex pad-s not
CSS not on MDN
what if we could write dev-friendly not-very-performant-looking real CSS ...but
ship atomic classes?
write the CSS you know generate atomic classes
header.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', padding: 10, display: 'flex' })}>
<img className={css({ border: 0 })} /> </div>
header.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', padding: 10, display: 'flex' })}>
<img className={css({ border: 0 })} /> </div> footer.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', padding: 10, display: 'grid' })}> <div className={css({ display: 'flex',( flexDirection: 'column' })} /> </div>
header.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', a padding: 10, b display:
'flex' c })}> <img className={css({ border: 0 d })} /> </div> footer.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', a padding: 10, b display: 'grid' e })}> <div className={css({ display: 'flex',( c flexDirection: 'column' f })} /> </div>
header.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', a padding: 10, b display:
'flex' c })}> <img className={css({ border: 0 d })} /> </div> footer.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', a padding: 10, b display: 'grid' e })}> <div className={css({ display: 'flex',( c flexDirection: 'column' f })} /> </div> output HTML // header <div class='a b c'> <img class='d' /> </div> // footer <div class='a b e'> <div class='c f' /> </div> output CSS .a { background: black } .b { padding: 10px } .c { display: flex } .d { border: 0 } .e { display: grid } .f { flex-direction: column }
header.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', padding: 10, display: 'flex' })}>
<img className={css({ border: 0 })} /> </div> footer.js <div className={css({ background: 'black', padding: 10, display: 'grid' })}> <div className={css({ display: 'flex',( flexDirection: 'column' })} /> </div> 😱 CSS in JS!
It's the output that matters Authoring style is flexible 🙂

logo = { ... } <div className={css(root)}> <img className={css(logo)} /> </div>

You choose how you write CSS (IMHO just use JS
objects, ask me why later) Fela gives you optimised output
Unlearn "clever" optimisations
