Maintain consistency in styling approaches within components and across the codebase. Avoid mixing className and inline styles in the same component - choose one approach and stick with it throughout the component. When working with reusable UI library components, keep them generic by using className for styling rather than adding component-specific inline styles that could pollute the library’s interface.
For example, instead of mixing approaches:
// Avoid mixing styles
<div style=>
<pre
ref={ref}
style=
>
<span className="copy-code-button">
Use a consistent approach with className:
// Consistent className usage
<div className="code-container">
<pre
ref={ref}
className={`code-block ${collapsed ? 'collapsed' : 'expanded'}`}
>
<span className="copy-code-button">
This improves maintainability, keeps styling logic centralized in CSS files, and maintains clean separation between UI library components and application-specific styling.
