Using styled-components in TypeScript: A tutorial with examples

Styling is a crucial element in developing web and mobile applications, typically achieved using CSS, but managing CSS in large projects can be cumbersome due to issues like class name duplication and misspellings. Styled-components, a CSS-in-JS library, provides a solution by allowing developers to write CSS directly in JavaScript components, thus simplifying styling and debugging processes. This tutorial guides users through creating a TypeScript application styled with styled-components, using an Amazon-like e-commerce page as an example. It involves setting up a TypeScript project with create-react-app, incorporating dependencies like styled-components and Material Icons, and organizing the project into components and helper functions for reusable styling. The tutorial illustrates the use of styled-components for creating a clean and efficient styling system, ultimately enabling developers to build and style scalable TypeScript projects effectively.
