What should I use instead of glamorous?

glamorous's own maintainers named @emotion/react as the successor. @emotion/react is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from glamorous to @emotion/react

@emotion/styled is the closest match: glamorous.div({ color: 'red' }) becomes styled.div({ color: 'red' }), and glamorous's css prop maps to emotion's css prop from @emotion/react.

Why glamorous is on this list

glamorous carries an npm deprecation notice from its maintainer naming emotion as the successor and linking to issue #419, where the reasoning was set out in May 2018. The final release, 5.0.0, shipped in December 2018 and the repository was archived that same month. Emotion covers the same CSS-in-JS ground and is actively maintained.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

glamorous alternatives

Beyond the primary recommendation, these are credible for glamorous's use case:

Check your own project for glamorous

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If glamorous is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
