Unlocking the Power of Styled-Components in React

What are Styled-Components?

Styled-components is a React and React Native development library that enables you to write CSS in JavaScript. This approach eliminates the need for external CSS files and allows for more modular and reusable code. With styled-components, you can scope CSS styles locally to a component, reducing the risk of global namespace pollution.

Benefits of Using Styled-Components

• Elimination of className errors: Styled-components provides a unique className for your styles, eliminating the problems associated with className duplications, misspellings, and overlaps.
• Automatic critical CSS: Styled-components keeps track of which components are rendered on a page and injects only those components’ styles, reducing the amount of code loaded.
• Simple dynamic styling: Adapting the styling of a component based on its props or a global theme is simple and intuitive.
• Easier styling maintenance: Styled-components allows you to make changes to your style without affecting an unrelated element or the behavior of the DOM.

Why Use TypeScript with React?

TypeScript is a free, open-source programming language that adds optional static typing and class-based, object-oriented programming to JavaScript. Using TypeScript with React provides several benefits, including:

• Predictable code: TypeScript helps catch errors at compile-time, making your code more predictable and maintainable.
• Better code completion: TypeScript’s type system provides better code completion suggestions, reducing the risk of errors.

Creating a Responsive Navbar with Styled-Components

1. Step 1: Set up the projectCreate a new React project using create-react-app and install the required packages, including styled-components and react-router-dom.
2. Step 2: Create the navbar componentCreate a new file called Navbar.tsx and add the following code:

   
   import React from 'react';
   import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
   import styled from 'styled-components';
   
   const NavbarContainer = styled.div`
     display: flex;
     justify-content: space-between;
     align-items: center;
     padding: 10px;
     background-color: #333;
     color: #fff;
   `;
   
   const NavbarLink = styled(Link)`
     color: #fff;
     text-decoration: none;
     margin-right: 20px;
   `;
   
   const HamburgerButton = styled.button`
     width: 70px;
     height: 50px;
     background-color: transparent;
     border: none;
     cursor: pointer;
   `;
   
   const ExtendedNavbar = styled.div`
     display: none;
     @media (max-width: 700px) {
       display: block;
     }
   `;
   
   const NavbarLinkExtended = styled(Link)`
     color: #fff;
     text-decoration: none;
     margin-bottom: 20px;
   `;
   
   const Navbar = () => {
     const [extendNavbar, setExtendNavbar] = React.useState(false);
   
     return (
       
         Home
         About
         Contact
          setExtendNavbar(!extendNavbar)}>☰
         {extendNavbar && (
           
             Home
             About
             Contact
           
         )}
       
     );
   };
   
   export default Navbar;
