I have this React component which is a simple button component:
const Button = ({ children }) => <button>{children}</button>;
I tried to pass the above component inside a styled in order to try to change its styles like this:
const StyledButton = styled(Button)`
color: yellow; //does not work
button {
color: yellowgreen; //does not work
}
`;
I am new to styled components so I am not even sure this is possible to do.
Thank you in advance for the help!
When using styled-components for your custom React components, styled-components needs to know where to inject the CSS you want to give to your <button> tag. This is done by passing the className prop to your Button component and passing it as a prop to the <button> tag.
Please try to edit your code like so:
const Button = ({ children, className }) => <button className={className}>{children}</button>;

I have a Drawer Component anchored at the bottom but I would still like to interact with the page above the drawer but either I can click out of if but the drawer closes so I tried the variants persistent and permanent both didn't work they actually made it so nothing at all happens when I click out of if. I think it has something to do with the spacing or padding above, but if anyone knows how to disable that, it would be greatly appreciated.
I solved it slightly differently, by removing the "inset" CSS property of the .MuiDrawer-modal div:
.MuiDrawer-modal {
inset: unset !important;
}
Figured out my problem, I ended us having to do some height changes to the Paper component and it seemed to work the way I wanted. You can overrided the css with makeStyles method in the #material-ui/core/styles directory. I used the classes property example
// Outside the component
import { makeStyles } from '#material-ui/core/styles';
const useStyles = makeStyles({
drawer: {
css here ...
}
})
// Inside Component
const classes = useStyles() // the make styles returns a function and calling the useStyles returns an object with the css.
// Inside return
<Drawer
anchor="bottom"
classes={{ paper: classes.drawer }}
>
Content...
</Drawer>
I created a simple styled component with a custom property test, but when rendered, the test property just did not appear in the div dom, what happened?
const StyledDiv = styled.div<{
test?: boolean;
}>`
color:red;
`;
//in render function...
<StyledDiv test>it's just test</StyledDiv>
In React boolean value is not passed to the dom element in means that test or test={true} will not be available to the dom. It only supports three types of string, number and object and it will convert those to string so all you need to do is change it too test="" and it will work.
If you are looking to access the prop test in your component you need to do something like this:
const StyledDiv = styled.div`
color: ${({test}) => test ? 'red' : 'blue'};
`;
I have a Field Formik's component, in order to apply custom CSS I do:
const Input = styled(Field)`
// CSS goes here
`
And use Input component, works fine. However I use exactly the same CSS in many places, so I've extracted those CSS to standalone styled-component called SuperInput
Now, how can extend style-componet? I need something like
const Input = styled(Field)`
// inlucde CSS from SuperInput component here
`
Example code.
import styled from 'styled-components'
const SuperInput = styled.input`
// CSS here
`
import { Field } from 'formik'
import { SuperInput } from 'styled_components/super_input'
const SomeFormComponent = () => (
<>
// How to use here <Field /> that has <SuperInput /> CSS applied?
</>
)
Basically you just need to spread or append inside the template literals to get it to work. you can keep the common CSS something like
import styled, { css } from "styled-components"
const commonCss = css`
background: red;
`
And can use it in your component like this:
const Input = styled(Field)`
// CSS goes here
${commonCss}
color: hotpink;
`;
const Input1 = styled(Field)`
${commonCss}
color: lightblue;
`;
This should allow you to use the common CSS in various styled components.
For more info, you can read through css styled component API
Edit:
Styled components create HOCs.
After the added superInput definition, I understand what you are trying to do. So your superInput is creating a button with the certain css properties which you are trying to reuse. In that case when you are using Field and trying to extend SuperInput which is a button doesnot make sense. Your Field component is by default a input element(text box), it can be checkbox, radio, file input also.Whatever CSS is written in superInput can be extracted the way I mentioned above and used at multiple places. The way you are trying to do is not the way styled component is designed. That's my understanding
Note : I may be wrong here about whether it is possible or not. But that's what i can say according to my awareness . Anyone Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Here I access theme by passing a callback function to the styled tag. I guess styled calls this callback function with the props as first argument. This works well.
export default function SectionHeading(props: SectionHeadingProps) {
const Heading = styled.h2`
${props => props.theme.green && `
color: green;
`}
`;
return (
<Heading>{propss.children}</Heading>
);
}
In this example I pass an expression that contains the props the component has received. Here, theme is undefined.
export default function SectionHeading(props: SectionHeadingProps) {
const Heading = styled.h2`
${props.theme.green && `
color: green;
`}
`;
return (
<Heading>{props.children}</Heading>
);
}
Why is theme undefined in the second example?
The reason is that these are different "props" and they are evaluated in different times, in the first example, the props are the props passed to the styled component, augmented with theme (provided you used <ThemeProvider .../>. In the second example, it is the props passed to your component.
The injection of the theme is done by styled-component library and only to styled components. Your component doesn't get it (because it is not a styled component).
Btw, your code has redundant nesting and creates a styled component each time it is invoked.
The way to do it is to simply define:
const SectionHeading = styled.div`
${props => (props.theme && props.theme.green && {color: 'green'})};
`;
and then:
export default SectionHeading;
Note that your sample code has a typo in the first part, you wrote {propss.children} (an extra 's').
I have a styled component:
const StyledComponent = styled.div`
...
`;
and I want to focus it when the component that uses it is mounted:
class someComponent extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.sc.focus();
}
render() {
return (
<StyledComponent innerRef={(elem) => { this.sc = elem; }}>
...
</StyledComponent>
);
}
}
this technique does not work - is there a solution for this?
You can't focus non-interactive elements without the use of tabIndex ("tabindex" in normal HTML). The "div" element is considered non-interactive (unlike anchor links "a" and button controls "button".)
If you want to be able to focus this element, you'll need to add a tabIndex prop. You can use .attrs if desired to have it be added automatically so you don't need to write the prop every time.
This link
has an example with both React 16 React.createRef() and the callback method.
Have you tried setting the autoFocus attribute, or is that not fit for your use case?
Try passing the autoFocus prop to your StyledComponent like <StyledComponent autoFocus />.
