CSS was originally designed for styling documents, with the web as a mere document reader. We've now re-purposed the web with components at the core. CSS just wasn't built with component-based development in mind, but there's a solution! Combining the best parts of CSS, components, and JavaScript together, CSS in JS unifies these two separate methodologies, letting you write your CSS directly in your JavaScript files. That means you can have your CSS interact directly on the component level. More importantly, you get to enjoy a whole host of benefits like cleaner code, more intuitive styles, automatic vendor prefixing, and much more. With this approach, you get to continue to write the real CSS, not inline styles, but in a way that's suited for modern applications! about the video CSS in JavaScript: With styled-components and React introduces you to developing modern applications that include CSS written directly in your JavaScript files, rather than as separate stylesheets.

After starting with a brief introduction to CSS in JS and what it actually means, you'll quickly start using React and the library styled-components to build your first styled component. You'll see how to inject props, grapple with inheritance, and get to grips with all sorts of pseudo styles, media queries, and cool animations. Then, with real-world exercises you can bring to your own work, you'll focus on extending your creations with advanced features like server-side rendering, theming support, and even a brief segue into CSS modules and automated tooling.
