Exposing internal styles from design system

from The Call Kent Podcast · host Kent C. Dodds

A caller wants to expose internal styles from their component library to consumers. Kent suggests using a variable to export the class names and using a library like CVA to create multiple variants of a set of class names. He also recommends against using disabled buttons as a workaround and instead suggests creating individual components for each use case. Exposing internal styles from design system
