Don't mix styles of an element with its container
When developing a reusable component, we should follow the rule: the component should look like the same regardless where it's placed.
For example, the `margin`
style in the following CSS is used for a specific use case where we want to have a space between `.item`
and its sibling element.
.item {
margin: 1rem 0;
...;
}
It isn't recommended because it could be broken when you use `item`
in another container. Instead, you should use a wrapper to separate the styles of element and its container:
.item-wrapper {
margin: 1rem 0;
}
The `item`
class can be reused in different places without breaking the look and feel:
<div class="item-wrapper">
<div class="item">...</div>
</div>
<div class="other-wrapper">
<div class="item">...</div>
</div>
