Using styled-components in React
Blog post from LogRocket
Styled-components is a popular CSS-in-JS library for React that enhances the developer experience by allowing CSS to be scoped directly to components, thereby improving organization and debuggability. It provides several benefits, such as automatic vendor-prefixing for cross-browser compatibility, unique class names to prevent global CSS leaks, and the ability to colocate styles with JavaScript logic. The library supports dynamic styling through React props, media queries, pseudo-classes and elements, and theming, while also offering helper functions like `createGlobalStyle` for global styles and `StyleSheetManager` for advanced style management. Additionally, styled-components enable animations using the `keyframes` helper and allow components to be polymorphic with the "as" prop. The library integrates with tools like Babel for enhanced debugging and server-side rendering, making it a versatile solution for modern frontend development.
