Should you use if() functions in CSS?

It’s 2025, and CSS finally thinks logically. The if() function brings real conditional styling — no hacks, no JS workarounds. Here’s how to use it right.

  1. While you correctly describe the payloadCreator as the second parameter of the async request, your use of the pseudocode “async (thunkAPI)” misleadingly may guide a reader into believing the thunkAPI is first parameter. (I certainly was fooled.) Perhaps clearer pseudocode would be “async (_, thunkAPI)”?

  2. Good afternoon!
    Excellent article, I learned a lot, but I didn’t understand how you use the getPosts function and you didn’t export it from the file, where am I going wrong?

  3. You forgot an “export” in front of the definition of the getPosts createAsyncThunk. That’s how you can run it as a function within the dispatch() operation.

    I thought I had a fundamental misunderstanding of Redux for a second there. Finally figured out it was a typo when I checked out the official docs.
