React CSS Styling

There are several diverse ways to effectively style React components. You can heavily utilize standard external CSS stylesheets, dynamic inline styles, or component-scoped CSS Modules.

Inline Styles

In React, inline styles are not specified as HTML strings. Instead, they are defined with a JavaScript object whose literal keys are camelCased variants of the CSS style names.

function StyledComponent() {
  const myStyle = { color: "white", backgroundColor: "DodgerBlue", padding: "10px" };
  return <div style={myStyle}>Hello Styled World!</div>;
}

Incorporating standard external CSS into your build is as simple as directly importing the .css file in your component.
