As part of the work on an experimental Obsidian plugin (it’s AI, sorry…), I revisited an implementation challenge I had before on a previous plugin:
How can I reuse existing styled UI components in Obsidian? How can I reuse a pre-made design system?
This was important to me because:
a) Code reuse improves quality (more time invested in polish a common component) and maintainability (more stakeholders who care about quality)
b) I find the current canonical strategy for adding styled components to be un-ergonomic for development.
That is why I invested time into understanding alternative approaches.
I wrote up a guide/explanation of how I solved it, adopting same lines as previous developer.
You can find the guide here
