Crafting Stateful Styles with State Machines by David Khourshid | CSSConf BP 2019

http://cssconfbp.rocks/speakers/david/ User interfaces are highly dynamic and complex, and structuring stylesheets for every possible state of every component can be a challenge. In this talk, we will explore innovative ways of organizing our styles, adding complex interactivity and meaningful transitions, and comprehensively test UIs through a decades-old concept – finite state machines. With ARIA, data-attributes, and CSS variables, state machines can bring a new level of maintainability, testability, and interactivity to your styles. David Khourshid is a software engineer for Microsoft, a tech author, and speaker. Also a fervent open-source contributor, he is passionate about statecharts and software modeling, reactive animations, innovative user interfaces, and cutting-edge front-end technologies. When not behind a computer keyboard, he’s behind a piano keyboard or traveling.
