why do your examples say to store clientSecret retrieved from creating a paymentIntent in state...
either naming the value a secret was a poor decision or it doesnt matter if it is exposed to the browser. or whoever made the documentation made the assumption that the reader knows not to store sensitive info in state?
lots of questions here , rest of the docs were great though for the most part. got everything set up pretty quickly

Thanks for the great demo! Is there a plan to support individual payment method Elements (such as CardElement) ?

[@StripeDev]

Hi Conner-just to check in, are you wanting to be able to use the Appearance API for these other Elements?

[@connerleverett9860]

@@StripeDev I was hoping to! But I saw in the documentation that "The Elements Appearance API doesn’t support individual payment method Elements (such as CardElement). Use the Style object to customize your Element instead". I'm new to Stripe but I'm finding it a bit harder to style individual elements (especially if you want to style the element container as then you have to mount the component instead of just rendering a component).
Edit: Just found the `options` prop on the CardElement which allows all of the styling so I can render that!

[@StripeDev]

Hm, there might be some confusion with how individual Elements are styled compared to the newer Elements.
With previous individual payment Elements, you need to style the you are rendering the in. The style object mostly helps you color text across various states (base, error, etc.).
