Unlock the Full Potential of styled-components

Inheritance Made Easy

With styled-components, you can inherit styles from one component to another. Simply pass the parent component to the styled function, and the child component will inherit its styles.

// Create a Div component
const Div = styled.div`
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
  padding: 20px;
`;

// Create an InheritedDiv component that inherits styles from Div
const InheritedDiv = styled(Div)`
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
`;

Dynamic Props

styled-components allows you to pass props to components just like regular React components. This enables you to create dynamic styles based on props.

// Create a Button component with dynamic styles
const Button = styled.button`
  background-color: ${props => props.primary ? '#007bff' : '#6c757d'};
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
  padding: 10px 20px;
`;

Theming Capabilities

styled-components provides built-in theming capabilities, allowing you to support multiple looks and feels.

// Create a theme object
const theme = {
  primaryColor: '#007bff',
  secondaryColor: '#6c757d',
};

// Use the ThemeProvider component to apply the theme
const App = () => (
  
    // Your app components here
  
);

Global Styling

Most styling done with styled-components is component-specific, but you can also create global styles that apply to all components.

// Create a global styles file
import { createGlobalStyle } from 'styled-components';

const GlobalStyle = createGlobalStyle`
  body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
  }
`;

Dynamic Component Types

styled-components are dynamic and can change from one HTML element to another.

// Create a Link component that can be either an a or button element
const Link = styled.a.attrs({
  as: props => props.as || 'a',
})`
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #337ab7;
`;

Styling Regular Components

You can turn regular components into styled components by calling the styled() function with the component and template literals containing the styling code.

// Create a styled version of a regular Button component
const StyledButton = styled(Button)`
  background-color: #007bff;
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
  padding: 10px 20px;
`;

Specifying Attributes

You can add attributes to HTML elements rendered by styled components.

// Create an Input component with different types
const Input = styled.input.attrs({
  type: props => props.type || 'text',
})`
  width: 100%;
  padding: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
`;

Compatibility with Other CSS Frameworks

Finally, styled-components can be used with other CSS frameworks, such as Bootstrap or Material Design.

// Create a Button component with Bootstrap styles
const Button = styled.button.attrs({
  className: 'btn btn-primary',
})`
  // Add custom styles here
`;
