Advanced tools
Package description
The babel-plugin-styled-components npm package is a plugin for Babel that improves the development and user experience when using styled-components. It provides better debugging, server-side rendering support, minification of styles, and other enhancements.
Improved debugging
This feature adds readable class names to your styled components, making it easier to debug your styles in the browser's dev tools.
/* Before using the plugin */
const Button = styled.button`color: blue;`;
/* After using the plugin, the class name includes the component name */
// <button class="Button-sc-__sc-1vu0deq-0 gKZCfK" />
Server-side rendering
It ensures that server-side rendering of styles is consistent with client-side rendering, preventing checksum mismatches and improving performance.
/* The plugin adds unique identifiers to the styles which helps with consistent rehydration of server-side rendered styles to the client. */
Minification
This feature minifies the styles by removing comments and whitespace, leading to a smaller bundle size and faster load times.
/* The plugin can remove comments and whitespace from your CSS to reduce payload size. */
Preprocessing
The plugin allows you to write your styles with nesting and other preprocessing features, which it then converts into valid CSS.
/* You can write your styles in a nested manner similar to Sass, and the plugin will preprocess it into valid CSS. */
const Button = styled.button`
color: blue;
&:hover {
color: red;
}

This package is similar to babel-plugin-styled-components but is tailored for the Emotion library. It offers source maps, SSR support, and other optimizations specific to Emotion.
Linaria is a zero-runtime CSS-in-JS library that extracts CSS to separate files during the build time. Its Babel preset offers similar functionalities for Linaria as babel-plugin-styled-components does for styled-components.
