About styled-component

Styled-components is a popular library that is used to style React applications. It allows you to build custom components by writing actual CSS in your JavaScript.

What Is Styled-Components?

There are many options you can take when it comes to styling a React application. The traditional way would be to create an external CSS file, then pass the attributes as a string on the className prop.
You can also use the CSS-in-JS technique, where you write the CSS in the JavaScript file. Styled-components takes this approach.

Benefits of using styled-components

• Automatic critical CSS

styled-components keeps track of which components are rendered on a page and only adds their styles

• No class name bugs

styled-components generates a unique class name for the styles

• Easier deletion of CSS

styles are tied to a specific component rather than being added as a class name

• Simple dynamic styling

styles can be added to a component based on props or a theme

• Painless maintenance

styles added to a component is done all in one place, rather than across multiple files

• Automatic vendor prefixing

styled-components handles all of this
