Package description

What is babel-plugin-styled-components?

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.

What are babel-plugin-styled-components's main functionalities?

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;
  }
`;
