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

--- **Upgrading from v5?** See the [migration guide](https://styled-components.com/docs/faqs#what-do-i-need-to-do-to-migrate-to-v6). Utilizing [tagged template literals](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#tagged-template-literals) (a recent addition to JavaScript) and the [power of CSS](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/api#supported-css), `styled-components` allow 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! ```jsx const Button = styled.button` color: grey; `; ``` Alternatively, you may use [style objects](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#style-objects). This allows for easy porting of CSS from inline styles, while still supporting the more advanced styled-components capabilities like component selectors and media queries. ```jsx const Button = styled.button({ color: 'grey', }); ``` Equivalent to: ```jsx const Button = styled.button` color: grey; `; ``` `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](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/basics#react-native) for more information. _Supported by [Front End Center](https://frontend.center). Thank you for making this possible!_ --- ## [Docs](https://www.styled-components.com/docs) **See the documentation at [styled-components.com/docs](https://www.styled-components.com/docs)** for more information about using `styled-components`!
