What are emotion's main functionalities?

Styled Components

Styled components allow you to create React components with styles attached to them. This makes it easy to manage styles in a modular and reusable way.

const Button = styled.button`
  color: hotpink;
`;

<Button>Click me</Button>

CSS Prop

The CSS prop allows you to style elements using a prop directly in your JSX. This is useful for applying styles conditionally or dynamically.

<div css={{ color: 'hotpink' }}>Hello World</div>

Keyframes for Animations

Emotion provides support for keyframes, allowing you to define animations in your JavaScript code. This makes it easy to create complex animations and apply them to your components.

import { keyframes } from '@emotion/react';

const bounce = keyframes`
  from, 20%, 53%, 80%, to {
    transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
  }
  40%, 43% {
    transform: translate3d(0, -30px, 0);
  }
  70% {
    transform: translate3d(0, -15px, 0);
  }
  90% {
    transform: translate3d(0,-4px,0);
  }
`;

const BouncingDiv = styled.div`
  animation: ${bounce} 1s ease infinite;
`;

<BouncingDiv>Bounce!</BouncingDiv>
