Styled Components
Styled Components is a **CSS-in-JS** approach: styles live next to the component and can use props and themes.
Install
bash
npm i styled-components
npm i -D @types/styled-componentsExample: button with real CSS
tsx
import styled from "styled-components";
const PrimaryButton = styled.button`
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 0.5rem;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
border-radius: 0.75rem;
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.12);
background: #2563eb;
color: white;
font-weight: 700;
&:hover { background: #1d4ed8; }
&:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid rgba(37,99,235,.5); outline-offset: 2px; }
`;Theming
ts
export const theme = {
colors: { brand: "#2563eb", bg: "#0b1220" },
radius: { md: "12px" },
};Best practices
- Keep theme tokens small and stable.
- Avoid dynamic styles that change too frequently (can hurt performance).
- Prefer CSS variables for runtime theming (dark/light) when possible.
