I'm using Stitches to write my CSS in a React application, mainly for the theming and variables. I'm calling createStitches
in every component file, like so:
ComponentA.tsx
import { createStitches, styled } from "@stitches/react";
const { createTheme } = createStitches({ theme: {...} });
...
export default ComponentA;
ComponentB.tsx
import { createStitches, styled } from "@stitches/react";
const { createTheme } = createStitches({ theme: {...} });
...
export default ComponentB;
And then I'm importing these components and using them in App.tsx:
import ComponentA from "./components/ComponentA";
import ComponentB from "./components/ComponentB";
function App() {
return (
<div className='App'>
<ComponentA />
<ComponentB />
</div>
)
}
I know I can just call the createStitches
in the App.tsx file once, but I like keeping my components self-sufficient, as in they should work without any other extra work. Is this a bad approach, or is this something that is fine to do? Does React call the function many times, or just once? Thanks for any help!
You do not need to call
createStitches
for every component. This function is to create configuration for your application styling. I don't that you are going to have separate configuration for every component. This will just cause extra work. Just keep thecreateStitches
in a common file and import it from there
