styled-components VS emotion

In general I recommend using styled-components or emotion. These directly attach CSS to your components in a scoped way so that your CSS files aren’t stepping on each other’s toes all the time and make sure styling is colocated with the component.

Not only that - after React got more popular - we started to place CSS in components as well (CSS-in-JS like this):

There are different ways to implement CSS In JS, most commonly using either framework-dependent or framework-agnostic libraries. Styled components are among the most popular of them with over 30,000+ stars on GitHub.

Since the main focus is to develop a library in accordance with the principles of accessibility, Cactus UI was developed in a way that without adopting a special design language only includes the necessary styling of components for proper work. However, the developer can easily style it according to the design she/he needs. Also, the developer can use it with different libraries (styled-components etc.) or can style all components according to she/he design with the help of css.

With Next.js, you have complete control over the design of your site. It uses Styled Components for styling, which allows you to write actual CSS code within your JavaScript files. This means you can easily customize the appearance of your blog without having to navigate between multiple files.

See https://observatory.mozilla.org and https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components/issues/2363 and https://content-security-policy.com/examples/allow-inline-style/

Simply said, Styled Components is a third-party library that lets you design reusable custom HTML components with predefined CSS properties and use them anywhere you choose inside your project.

I ran into this problem as well. The root cause as I understand it is emotion: https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2928

While integrating component libraries, they may not give you full control over the order in which styles are inserted. (Example issue).

Vanilla Extract (CSS Framework) (Alternative: Emotion)

This week Sam Magura, an active maintainer of Emotion, a widely-popular CSS-in-JS library for React, published an article about breaking up with CSS-in-JS. As a “pure CSS” guy, I had many questions and comments while reading the article, so I had to document them in this blog post.

Last I checked Emotion deprecated style extraction, and Styled Components doesn't support it at all.

Hi, I'm Sam — software engineer at Spot and the 2nd most active maintainer of Emotion, a widely-popular CSS-in-JS library for React. This post will delve into what originally attracted me to CSS-in-JS, and why I (along with the rest of the Spot team) have decided to shift away from it.

Multiple instances of Emotion get loaded at once. This can cause problems even if the multiple instances are all the same version of Emotion. (Example issue)
