7 feature-rich alternatives to styled-components
Blog post from LogRocket
CSS-in-JS has become a crucial aspect of modern frontend development, with approximately 60% of React installations incorporating a CSS-in-JS library. Styled-components, a leading player in this space, faces competition from alternatives like Linaria, CSS Blocks, Stitches, Styletron, Emotion, Fela, and Goober, each offering unique features and benefits. Linaria eliminates runtime costs by extracting CSS during build time, while CSS Blocks optimizes performance and maintainability through static analysis. Stitches provides near-zero runtime and a developer-friendly experience, whereas Styletron supports library-agnostic styling and efficient CSS processing. Emotion is framework-agnostic with a robust theming mechanism, and Fela emphasizes dynamic styling as a function of state. Goober offers a lightweight solution with similar functionality to styled-components. These libraries aim to address the limitations of traditional CSS, providing scalable and performant solutions for developers.
