Don’t let the declarative syntax fool you –
CSS is a powerful and dynamic programming language.
It’s time to start moving style logic
back into the language designed for it.
CSS has come a long way since the browser wars of the late 90s.
What used to be a struggle,
is now often a breeze (see box-shadow or border-radius).
But the last 2 years have pushed CSS into entirely new territory:
with DOM-aware variables
and calculations that can drive your design,
without all the invasive Javascript.
Basics for understanding Custom Properties &Calc().
Practical examples and use-cases for data-infused design.
Integrating with CSS Grids to build layouts on-the-fly.
Some pretty mind-bendingly cool uses for CSS custom props
from @TerribleMia –
color, layout & animation all in css
and only using JS to feed data.
Well that was awesome!!!
“If you think CSS is a dumb language,
you’re a dumb language – CSSISAWESOME!”
@TerribleMia thank you so much for the amazing talk!
