Great overview thank you! Do you have any idea how to include some CSS in a component?

[@Plangora]

We tend to use Tailwind for our CSS. Did you have some special usecase that just assembling the CSS by hand and putting it into a style tag won't solve if you're not using normal classes?

@@Plangora Thanks for your reply! I don't quite like Tailwind approach with class name that specific to the framework that needs to be learned. And I see no fundamental advantages to this method. style property will work but feels very cumbersome to do is also not possible to override without !important tag. Using classes seams the only good way to do it but it feels so awkward to have global CSS that style my encapsulated component. I would like to find a way to do something similar that Styled Components does or any other CSS in JS solutions. But I guess all of them require preprocessing step.

Excellent video and explanation of the new Phoenix Components! Could you do one video for Phoenix.LiveComponent?

[@Plangora]

Sure. But I think I did one in the past if I remember correctly.

Thx! How about esbuild in the latest version of phoenix

[@Plangora]

That’s on our radar! What did you want to know about that?

[@solvm1652]

@@Plangora - ive never used esbuild before. i'm curious to see the setup and configuration it in action.

Like how to replace webpack with esbuild?

[@solvm1652]

@@Plangora - that would be cool too.

@@Plangora From what I understand esbuild can replace webpack for basic setups. What I'm confused about is can esbuild completely replace webpack for more complicated setups using plugins. All this stuff is just so confusing.
