Essential Features of Component-Based CSS

A good component-based CSS system requires the ability to scope styles effectively, minimizing the risk of unintended style bleed. This scoping can be applied to individual components or across multiple components to maintain consistency. Reusable components, such as buttons or cards, should have predefined styles that ensure a uniform appearance throughout a website or application. Proper management of exceptions and overrides is crucial to avoid clutter and maintain a clean stylesheet.
