Yew does not natively provide a css in rust solution, but helps with styling by providing
programmatic ways to interact with the html `class` attribute.

## Classes

The `classes!` macro and associated `Classes` struct simplify the use of HTML classes:

<Tabs>
  <TabItem value="Literal" label="Literal">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!("container")}></div>
};
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="Multiple" label="Multiple">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!("class-1", "class-2")}></div>
};
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="String" label="String">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!(String::from("class-1 class-2"))}></div>
};
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="Optional" label="Optional">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!(Some("class"))} />
};
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="Vector" label="Vector">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!(vec!["class-1", "class-2"])}></div>
};
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="Slice" label="Slice">

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div class={classes!(["class-1", "class-2"].as_ref())}></div>
};
```

  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

We will expand upon this concept in [more CSS](../../more/css).

## Inline Styles

Currently Yew does not provide any special help with inline styles specified via the `styles` attribute,
but you can use it like any other html attribute:

```rust
use yew::{classes, html};

html! {
  <div styles="color: red;"></div>
};
```
