I think I would just use instead of using an array index just just use props. If you need them to be referenceable, because you're putting them in different spots of the child component, then they should be passed in appropriately via props. So I don't think that's very clumsy. That's just the way the API works. Could you describe how you would do this with slots and felt? Yeah, so felt and view. And actually, you know, other things have the concept of what's called a slot and a slot takes the place of what you would use children for here.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott answer your questions about whether you should use emoji in naming grid elements, how to estimate project times, responsive design tips, animating gradient backgrounds, and more.
