Summary of 'How to Style Your React Apps with CSS'
The article on FreeCodeCamp.org discusses various methods to style React applications using
CSS, highlighting five main techniques:
1. Regular CSS: This involves traditional CSS files imported into React components. It's
straightforward but can lead to global namespace conflicts.
2. CSS Modules: CSS Modules scope CSS by automatically generating unique class names, which
prevents clashes and allows for modular and reusable CSS.
3. Styled Components: Utilizing tagged template literals in JavaScript, Styled Components enable
writing actual CSS code to style components. This approach is highly dynamic and leverages the full
power of JavaScript.
4. Emotion: Similar to Styled Components, Emotion is a library for writing CSS styles with
JavaScript. It supports both the CSS-in-JS approach and the styled components API, offering
flexibility and performance optimizations.
5. Tailwind CSS: Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes
to build custom designs directly in the HTML. It promotes a more atomic approach to styling.
Each method has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on the project requirements and
personal or team preferences.
You can find more details and examples of each method in the full article at FreeCodeCamp.org.
