Choosing a Styling Approach for Obsidian Plugin Development

Developers: Plugin & API
1

I’ve been following the style guide to create a custom React plugin. It works fine.

I then switched to styling integration and ran into issues with esbuild. I couldn’t get stylex to work with it. I also tried integrating stylex with Vite but failed there as well.

I found a few examples where Vite was used for plugin development, but I didn’t see any clear benefits in those solutions.

So I have a few questions:

  • What styling solution should I use for React-based Obsidian plugins?

  • Is Vite compatible with Obsidian plugin development?

Thank, you.
