Read through styled-components docs. Using a lot of JS-in-CSS at work so finally taking the time to understand how this library works…

• Utalising prop within the styled components requires using string interpolation

  const Button = styled.button`
    /* Adapt the colors based on primary prop */
    background: ${props => props.primary ? "palevioletred" : "white"};
    color: ${props => props.primary ? "white" : "palevioletred"};

    font-size: 1em;
    margin: 1em;
    padding: 0.25em 1em;
    border: 2px solid palevioletred;
    border-radius: 3px;
  `;

  render(
    <div>
      <Button>Normal</Button>
      <Button primary>Primary</Button>
    </div>
  );e"};
    color: ${props => props.primary ? "white" : "palevioletred"};

• styled components opens up polymorphic css! extend an existing styled component with styled()

const TomatoButton = styled(Button)`
  color: tomato;
  border-color: tomato;
`;

• nice reference to map how regular css looks vs styled components

• Define Styled Components outside of the render method!!!

• & has super powers in styled-components

• Decoupling your animations keyframes seems nice

// Create the keyframes
const rotate = keyframes`
  from {
    transform: rotate(0deg);
  }

  to {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
`;

// Here we create a component that will rotate everything we pass in over two seconds
const Rotate = styled.div`
  display: inline-block;
  animation: ${rotate} 2s linear infinite;
  padding: 2rem 1rem;
  font-size: 1.2rem;
`;

render(<Rotate>&lt; 💅🏾 &gt;</Rotate>);

• Write global styles with <ThemeProvider> and createGlobalStyle

• You can overide styling from another component states!

• you can write inline css-(ish) as sort of way to bypass styled components entirely

• It’s still possible to target children classNames within a styled component

const Thing = styled.div`
  color: blue;

  .something {
    border: 1px solid; // an element labeled ".something" inside <Thing>
    display: block;
  }
`;

render(
  <Thing>
    <label htmlFor="foo-button" className="something">
      Mystery button
    </label>
    <button id="foo-button">What do I do?</button>
  </Thing>
);
