Modern CSS For Dynamic Component-Based Architecture
summary
Builds four real components — button, card, pagination, navigation — using concrete APIs: custom properties for tokens, has() presence detection, container queries for contextual reflow, and cascade layers to control specificity. Uses Lightning CSS to precompile nesting, explains color-scheme and accent-color for native theming, shows clamp fluid type and text-wrap:balance (experimental). Demos mostly work live, with occasional container-query update glitches; overall claim is practical: modern CSS progressively enhances components without JavaScript for many layout and theming tasks.
