What are styled-components and how do I use them?

Styled-components is a library for React that allows you to use component-level styles in your application. It utilizes tagged template literals to style your components.

Can you show me a simple example of how to create a styled component?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import styled from 'styled-components';

const Button = styled.button`
  background: blue;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
`;

function App() {
  return <Button>Click Me</Button>;
}

This creates a styled button component.

What are the benefits of using styled-components over regular CSS?

Styled-components offer several benefits, including scoped styles, dynamic styling based on props, and easier maintenance since styles are tied to components.

Are there any performance concerns I should be aware of?

Generally, styled-components are optimized for performance, but excessive use of dynamic styles can lead to performance issues. It's best to use them judiciously.
