Visual primitives for the component age. Use the best bits of ES6 and CSS to style your apps without stress and the added benefits of TypeScript 💅

npm install --save styled-components styled-components-ts

Getting Started

// Import react, styledComponents and styledComponentsTS
import * as React from 'react'
import styledComponents from 'styled-components'
import styledComponentsTS from 'styled-components-ts'

// Create an interface for the component
export interface MyImageProps {
  size: number
  borderColor?: string
  borderSize?: number
}

// Create a styled component with our props interface
const MyImage = styledComponentsTS<MyImageProps>(styledComponents.img) `
  width: ${props => props.size}px;
  height: ${props => props.size}px;
  border: ${props => props.borderSize || '4px'} solid ${props => props.borderColor || 'black'}
`

export default MyImage

Now we have all the typescript goodies for MyImage like type checking and auto-complete.

import MyImage from './MyImage'

<MyImage size={300} borderColor="blue" borderSize={10} />

We can also extend our components and add new props with ease.

// Import react, styledComponents and styledComponentsTS
import * as React from 'react'
import styledComponents from 'styled-components'
import styledComponentsTS from 'styled-components-ts'

// Import our image and it's props
import MyImage, { MyImageProps } from './MyImage'

// Create an interface for the component that extends the base image props
export interface ExpandedImageProps extends MyImageProps {
  backgroundColor?: string
}

// Create a styled component with our props interface that extends MyImage
const ExpandedImage = styledComponentsTS<ExpandedImageProps>(MyImage.extend)`
  background-color: ${props => props.backgroundColor || 'unset'};
`

export default ExpandedImage

Using styled-components v4+?

If you're using a version of styled-components greater than 4.0.0 you do not need this library. See below for example usage:

const Button = styled.div<{ selected?: boolean }>`
  background: ${props => props.selected ? 'red' : 'blue'};
`

// or
interface IButton {
  selected?: boolean
}
const Button = styled.div<IButton>`
  background: ${props => props.selected ? 'red' : 'blue'};
`
