Unable to apply styles to styled-component element in Reactjs - javascript

I'm trying to wrap a component with a styled-component div and apply some styles. However, for some reason, the styles aren't being applied, even though the ostensibly correct wrapper that is expected to be rendered is being rendred.
CodeSandbox
What am I doing wrong here?

You just forgot to pass the className props, see here:
const Component = ({ className }) => (
<div className={className}>Hello World!</div>
);

I hope I helped you. Have a good day.
EDIT: Check the docs here

You need to container Component with styled.{tag} or styled(Component)
And then use that Container component to wrap main component.
import React from "react";
import "./styles.css";
import styled from "styled-components";
export default () => <Component />;
const Component = () => <StyledDiv>Hello World!</StyledDiv>;
const StyledDiv = styled.div`
font-size: 10rem;
color: red;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
`;

onClick event not firing in my styled component in my react app

I'am trying to trigger an onCick event that i passed to my style component icon tag but for some reason the event does not get triggered when the icon is clicked. I've tried raping it in a div and passing the onClick event to the div instead but still get the same result.
here is the code:
import React from "react";
import { useState } from "react";
import StyledNav, {NavbarhamButton} from "./style/Navbar.styled";
const Navbar = () => {
const [NavOpen, setNavOpen] = useState(false);
return (
<StyledNav>
<NavbarhamButton
className="fas fa-bars"
onclick={() => setNavOpen(!NavOpen)}
/>
</StyledNav>
);
};
export default Navbar;
Here is the styled components:
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
import styled from "styled-components";
import { theme } from "../../theme";
const StyledNav = styled.div``;
export const NavbarhamButton = styled.i`
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 1rem;
font-size: 2rem;
color: white;
#media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
display: none;
}
z-index: 2;
`;
I just started to use style components of recent so am still trying to wrap my head around it please correct me if am doing something wrong thanks.
Try changing the prop to onClick for <NavbarhamButton />. You may also need to use a base component other than i. So you might want to try styled.button instead of styled.i.

Using a styled component's rules within `createGlobalStyle`

New to styled components and am wondering if someone might have some advice on how to use a styled component's rules within a call to createGlobalStyle?
The below example is working, but I feel that it is not a great solution as componentStyle.rules is not in the official api docs.
// A styled component
import Modal from '../Modal'
import styled, { createGlobalStyle } from 'styled-components'
const StyledComponent = styled(Modal)`
background-color: pink;
`
createGlobalStyle`
// this div is mounted outside of the React root
.modal-from-external-library {
${StyledComponent.componentStyle.rules}
}
`
Not sure if what I was trying to do was possible, but I ended up solving the problem by exporting the css from the Modal using the css function of styled components.
// Modal.js
const styles = css`
// styles here
`
export default styled.div`
${styles}
`
// ... later
const GlobalStyles = createGlobalStyle`${styles}`
render() { return (<GlobalStyles {...props} />) }

Styled-component object can't observe mobx changes

I would like an HOC generated by styled-components to re-render when one of its properties get changed. I'm using MobX for change detection.
This doesn't respond to changes, I think I understand why. The question is if there is a simple workaround to make it work.
const DemoComponent = observer(styled.div`
background-color: ${props => props.myObject.myObservableIsTrue ? 'red' :
'green'};
`);
It's hard to tell by this little snippet, but one of my guesses would be you are not injecting any store, so currently, no store is being connected to your component.
here's a simple example of how I used styled-components with mobx if it helps:
EDITED:
I've updated the code example.
Do you know the Container / Presentational pattern?
This was the missing link.
In order to keep your renders as little as possible
you need to separate your stateful component from each other.
Spread them across a Container component (aka Dumb Components)
This way you separate state concerns and render only the component with the changed state.
UPDATED:
https://codesandbox.io/s/zxx6o2pq3l
Sorry!!! A bit of a hack job, but attempt to bring your entire code inside the #inject("store") class:
import React from "react";
import { observer, inject } from "mobx-react";
import styled, { css } from "styled-components";
#inject("store")
#observer
export default class OtherComponent extends React.Component {
render() {
const MyWrapper = (store) => {
const Wrapper = styled.div`
border: 1px solid black;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
color: ${({ color }) => color};
border: 2px solid ${({ color }) => color || "black"};
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
`;
return (
<Wrapper {...store}>
styled-component
<button onClick={store.changeColor}>change color</button>
</Wrapper>
);
}
const { store } = this.props;
return (
<div>
{
MyWrapper(store)
}
</div>
);
}
}
Mobx is actually read like this: #inject("store") #observer export default class...
So it really an extension of an extended component; only wrapped variables will apply!

Passing props from react-cosmos to styled-components

I have the following component where I have applied the css using styled-components:
import styled from 'styled-components'
// square-block css can be re-written as a styled-component(???)
const SquareBlock = styled.div`
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: ${props => props.color};
`
export default SquareBlock
I would like to use the following fixture with react-cosmos to adapt the background-color of the component based on the props:
import { COLORS } from '../../../constants/tetronimo'
export default {
color: COLORS.I
}
In the React developer tools I noticed that the component PropsProxy had a fixture prop which has the color property:
JSON.stringify($r.props.fixture, null, 2)
{
"color": "#3cc7d6"
}
How can I ensure that props are passed correctly to react-cosmos?
Props need to be placed under fixture.props in the latest version of React Cosmos, but you seem to have already figured this out. Does this solve your problem?

How to work with styled components in my react app?

I had trouble naming this question and it seems quite broad, so, forgive me oh moderators. I'm trying out styled components for the first time and trying to integrate it into my react app. I have the following so far:
import React from 'react';
import styled from 'styled-components';
const Heading = styled.h1`
background: red;
`;
class Heading extends React.Component {
render () {
return (
<Heading>
{this.props.title}
</Heading>
);
}
}
export default Heading;
So, just a normal class, but then I import styled components up top, define the const Heading, where I specify that a Heading really is just a styled h1. But I get an error stating that Heading is a duplicate declaration since I also say class Heading....
I'm obviously completely missing something here. All the examples online doesn't actually show how you also use this with React. I.e. where do I define my class, my constructor, set my state, etc.
Do I have to move the styled component into it's own file, i.e.:
import styled from 'styled-components';
const Heading = styled.h1`
background: red;
`;
export default Heading;
Then create a React component that will serve as a wrapper of sorts, e.g. 'HeadingWrapper':
import React from 'react';
import Heading from './Heading';
class HeadingWrapper extends React.Component {
render () {
return (
<Heading>
{this.props.title}
</Heading>
);
}
}
export default HeadingWrapper;
A bit of clarity on this would greatly be appreciated! Thanks :)
styled.h1`...` (for example) returns a React component that works just like <h1>. In other words, you use <h1> like this:
<h1>h1's children</h1>
...so when you do const Heading = styled.h1`...`;, you'll use <Heading> the same way:
<Heading>Heading's children</Heading>
If you want a component that behaves differently, e.g. one that uses the title prop instead of children, you'll need to define such a component, and it will need to have a different name than the Heading component you already defined.
For example:
const styled = window.styled.default;
const Heading = styled.h1`
background: red;
`;
const TitleHeading = ({title}) => <Heading>{title}</Heading>;
// ...or...
class StatefulTitleHeading extends React.Component {
render() {
return <Heading>{this.props.title}</Heading>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<div>
<Heading>I'm Heading</Heading>
<TitleHeading title="I'm TitleHeading"/>
<StatefulTitleHeading title="I'm StatefulTitleHeading"/>
</div>,
document.getElementById('container')
);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/styled-components#1.4.3/dist/styled-components.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>
Frankly, though, it makes more sense to just use the component returend by styled.h1 directly:
const Heading = styled.h1`...`;
export default Heading;
// ...then...
<Heading>Children go here</Heading>
The semantics of children are already clear, and using <Heading title="Children go here"/> instead detracts significantly from that.
Let me make this really simple for you.
Let's create one styled component for heading named 'Heading'
const Heading = styled.h1`
color: 'black';
font-size: 2rem;
`
and now you can use it like following.
<Heading>{this.props.title}</Heading>
How you manage to get the title prop as it's child is no concern of style component's. It only manages how that title looks. Styled component is not a container that maintains your app/business logic.
Now let's look at an example in it's entirety.
import styled from 'styled-components'
// Heading.js (Your styled component)
const Heading = styled.h1`
color: 'black';
font-size: 2rem;
`
export default Heading
and now your container that will use your styled component
// Header.jsx (Your container)
class Header extends Component {
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
// This your title that you receive as props
console.log(nextProps.title)
}
render() {
const { title } = this.props
return (
<div id="wrapper">
<Heading>{title}</Heading>
</div>
)
}
}
I hope that helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.
