Why isn't alignSelf exposed on <Flex>?

[samselikoff]

Hi there! Just curious about why certain properties like alignSelf aren't exposed on . Usually there's another way to achieve the desired result, but I'm more curious about the rationale behind not exposing it so I can be aligned with the library's design decisions.

Thanks for this excellent lib!

For alignSelf and justifySelf specifically, we generally try to avoid making it ergonomic for a component to override the parent’s layout. Saw it get out of hand, and as you said, there usually are workarounds.

Although, as I was writing it, I realised that properties like gridColumnStart effectively achieve the same, so there’s a precedent

That makes sense!
