These lessons cover converting a React app from using traditional CSS loaded from a file to styled components.

In this lesson, we remove the mapping between a React component and the styles applied to it via classnames. We write our styles directly within the component, in a real CSS syntax, with the full power of JavaScript.

Style a React component with styled-components

In this lesson, we see how we can apply styles globally with the "injectGlobal" helper method in styled-components. This method allows us to apply styles on the body element, which cannot be wrapped in a styled-component.

In this styled-components lesson, we set a "primary color" within a UI "theme" object. We make this theme accessible to all components by wrapping our application inside a <ThemeProvider>.

Theme your application with styled-components and "ThemeProvider"

In this lesson, we extend the styles of a base button component to create multiple variations of buttons, using "extend". We can then modify the base styles in one place, and have all button types updated.

In this lesson, we learn how to handle CSS keyframe animations in styled-components, via the 'keyframes' helper.
