Support for attribute selectors

[ostrgard]

Hi!

There's currently no support for attribute selectors. I could make a small PR with support and tests for this, if you're interested, unless it's left out by design?

I think that it is left out by design. Is there a reason why you would need to be testing for selectors and couldn't just be conditionally adding more styles? I assume the attributes are being added to the element that you are styling, so you should have access to them, no?

I don't have a specific use case for this, I just saw it as a low hanging fruit to cover more of the CSS spec.

Yeah, from my (user) perspective, the more I use this, the more I come to realize that the idea of this library is to associate styles with specific elements (components) in an explicit way rather than the implicit nature of CSS. So there actually is no concept of selectors at all. It's all about taking styles and applying them directly to components.

This is still taking some getting used to for me, but the more I use aphrodite, the more I buy into the concept. 👍

@kentcdodds Glad you're enjoying the library!

I agree, so I'm going to close this, because we don't want to support attribute selectors.
