Utilising tagged template literals (a recent addition to JavaScript) and the power of CSS, styled-components allows you to write actual CSS code to style your components. It also removes the mapping between components and styles – using components as a low-level styling construct could not be easier!
styled-components is compatible with both React (for web) and React Native – meaning it's the perfect choice even for truly universal apps! See the documentation about React Native for more information.
Supported by Front End Center. Thank you for making this possible!
Principal development of v5 has begun! Follow along on the canary branch and check out the current list of roadmap items.
We will be publishing alpha versions to styled-components@canary on NPM as we get closer to a beta release.
Please keep in mind that all development of styled-components is driven by volunteer effort, so things will take as long as they take. We appreciate your enthusiasm and interest as new technologies and patterns emerge.
See the documentation at styled-components.com/docs for more information about using styled-components!

If you're using tooling that has babel-plugin-macros set up, you can switch to the styled-components/macro import path instead to gain the effects of the babel plugin without further setup.
import styled from 'styled-components/macro';
// A static className will be generated for Title (important for SSR)
const Title = styled.h1`
font-size: 1.5em;
text-align: center;
color: palevioletred;
`;If you wish to provide configuration options to the babel plugin similar to how you would in a .babelrc, see this guide. The config name is "styledComponents".
