I really like the TextArea that auto-grows http://nikgraf.github.io/belle/#/component/text-input

It grows/contracts just as expected in Android and iOS too. That's handy. Nice job!

Thanks Sebastian :)

Congratulations Jyoti and Nik. I'm curious what the folks over here think about the choice to put styling in js.

nik-graf5• 11 years ago

Hey Iwein, there are couple fundamental issue with the way we style HTML elements today. CSS is exposing every declaration into a global namespace. This makes it to eliminate dead code as it is hard to figure out where it is used. Many techniques like BEM were invented and declared as "the right way" to do styling.

I don't know if inline-styles defined in JS are the end-game, but working with it in combination with building components turned out to be working way better for us than using CSS.

If you want to know more about it I highly recommend this slidedeck: https://speakerdeck.com/vjeux/react-css-in-js

CSS in JS, works great... You see belle components are so very stable and configurable, you change theme of whole app so easily.

Modal and tooltip/popover are the components that forced me to add react-bootstrap to my project (I didn't want to build those on my own.) Really looking forward to trying out Belle once those land.

Thanks for your feedback technic. All of them are definitely on our list of components we want to do :)

Have you ever checked out: https://github.com/rackt/react-modal

Seems to be pretty solid implementation.

Great resource, must have if I want to have a plateau of reusable components for a REACT application, good job!

looking really nice. Specifically the toggle is something I was looking for. This looks like clean use of markup and proper setup of CSS with good docu. Will definitly embed this in the future, and looking forward to see even more components. good stuff!
