Future of utilities

[leighkendell]

Hi! Loving what vanilla-extract is capable of so far. I've started to adopt it in a styled-components project making use of the CSS custom property features so far.

Are there any plans to add additional helper functions, for example returning the "key" of a custom property i.e. "--my-var12321" instead of the version wrapped in "var(...)". I'll probably regex this for now as I'd like to use the value to override on a per component basis using the style attribute. I've had a look at the dynamic API but this seems somewhat redundant inside of a React context, would love to hear how you're currently using it with react in general too :)

Cheers

We could provide a getVarName function as part of the dynamic package, which is currently a private util.

We could also potentially add a higher level function that sets a single variable as an inline style object, as we currently only support setting entire themes as inline styles.

That would be useful! Being able to override individual variables and output the inline style sounds just like what I need :)
