Inline Styles and Classes in JSX
In React, you can apply styles to your components in various ways. Two of the most common are:
Inline Styles
Inline styles are applied directly to JSX elements using the `style` prop. Style values are defined as a JavaScript object with camelCase properties. For example:
It is important to note that, in JSX, CSS properties are written in camelCase instead of kebab-case. Additionally, numerical values must be specified as strings with the corresponding units, such as '10px'.
Classes in JSX
To apply CSS classes in JSX, we use the `className` prop. This is because `class` is a reserved word in JavaScript. For example:
It is common for CSS classes to depend on the component's props or state. For example:
To handle conditional classes more efficiently, you can use libraries like `classnames`.
Considerations
While inline styles are useful for quick and dynamic styles, they can become difficult to manage in large applications. On the other hand, CSS classes offer greater flexibility and are easier to maintain. It is recommended to use CSS classes for static styles and reserve inline styles for cases where dynamic or specific styles are needed.
For greater modularity and advanced features, you can consider using CSS preprocessors like SASS or CSS-in-JS libraries.
