Why is style and javascript seperated

[sp90]

Hi again,

I just want to clarify why is scss/sass separated from javascripts, in components - is there a reason?

Hey, it's just my own preference. Before css modules/CSS-in-JS came along, this was the norm. I'd venture to say that in most circles, this still is the norm.

No doubt, but it is a component based setup, which anyhow would make sense so you could grab a component folder at put it somewhere else right?

Yes, but your styles structure would (generally) match your views structure.

Just another way of doing things. Has no issue scaling in my experience. =]

The preact-boilerplate is nearly identical to this starter, with the exception of its css modules. Maybe that's what you're after?

Nope there where greater losses - im just trying to understand your choices 👍

I might write a blog post on this 😲😛 I'm really against the practice in general.
