Removing default styles

[kukagg]

First, I want to thank @zbeyens for this repo. A great work!

I started going through the plugins and found out that there are default styles. I wonder what’s the reason behind implementing it? A case for image element here.

It seems like the only way is to fork the repo and clean these styles/sync going forward but I thought I’d clear it up before doing that. Thanks in advance and much respect!

Hi, thanks a lot!

Good question, it's not clearly documented in Storybook but here you have a complete guide.

So you want to use ImageElementBase that has no default styles, in the component option. I didn't try yet but let me know if it does not work!

You also have StyledElement for single tag components. For more custom, just pass one of your created component.

As for the why, I find it interesting to (slowly) turn this library as a "WISIWYG" design system, as it targets a lot of front-end "beginners".

Then for the future of this lib we can debate on (e.g. for ImageElement):

1. using ImageElement as default component (as it is now).
2. using ImageElementBase as default component and let the consumer import and pass ImageElement as component option.

Let's track this in #363
