Managing multiple variants of a component, such as different styles of buttons, can often be a challenging task, especially as the number of variants grows. Traditionally, developers have resorted to using packages like classnames to dynamically apply classes based on different conditions. However, a more streamlined and organized approach is provided by Class Variance Authority (CVA). CVA offers an elegant solution to handling multiple component variants, promoting maintainability and scalability.

One typical example is the "Button" component, which can possess various visual treatments like primary, secondary, with icons, and diverse icon placements. Instead of relying on cumbersome conditional statements and the classnames package, Class Variance Authority presents an efficient methodology through its documentation, available at https://cva.style/docs.
