Because of Elements I decide to learn Tailwind and CSS to a level I need, still working on Alpine, also Elements API and now Twig, not enough time or space in my brain - Twig is now daily reading, need to understand where or how you use all of this or if needed, I am glad I worked my way through producing a menu in Elements it helped on loops. Realmac no more please 😂 🤣 😅 😪 😣 😓 for a while anyway ---

_ **Introducing** _…_ **GetTwiggyWithIt** _ This new templating of the twig templating system saves you time, as it replaces all that typing between curly braces with a single character, e.g. {{a}}. All you need to do is set up a translation table in your header code, and now all these abbreviated twigs become smaller sticks. But wait, there’s more! If you buy into this today we’ll also give you TailwindBooster, which installs a fan behind your Tailwind code to make it faster than ever before. ---

I did up load to my site and changed the price on all 3 works a treat, although with even normal cms components you can change in the markdown, as long as you dont need to keep synced you can change the Elements part at the same time ---

I just watched Transformers while working this I already have tables setup, probably missed a few from previous test to update from previous project, just copy and paste mostly, looked at the math, logical operators this gives me a headache anyway so going to a while before I work through that completely, can do simple the status does update depending on stock levels I am addicted to Elements my wife is going to leave me 🤣 she used to work in retail never really new what sku was this really hurts my head The spaceship operator (`<=>`) is used for comparing two expressions. It returns `-1`, `0` or `1` when the first operand is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second operand. Don’t understand yet ---
