Styling React Applications Workshop

This is the excerise (lab) for the styling React workshop. You can see the finished styled app at https://styling-workshop.now.sh !

Setup

Follow these steps to get the repo:

# Download the repo
git clone https://github.com/mxstbr/styling-workshop.git
# Go into the newly downloaded directory
cd styling-workshop
# Install all the dependencies (can also run yarn)
npm install
# Start the app
npm start

A browser window should open at localhost:3000 (if not, try going to that URL manually) and you should see a weather app. If so, you're set up and ready to go!

Make sure you have git and the latest stable version of Node.js installed. If any of these commands fail, please reinstall the relevant binary.

Task

Your task in this lab is to style our weather application in three different ways:

• Inline styles
• CSS Modules
• styled-components

We've built a React app and styled it with a global CSS file on this branch. (public/global.css) You have to move those styles to the new way and make sure it looks as close to the original as possible.

Getting started

This lab is based on three branches (inline-styles, css-modules, styled-components) that have the same starting point. Get started with the inline-styles branch:

git checkout inline-styles

In case you aren't running it locally anymore, this is what the finished app looks like (and should look like after converting it to a different library):

Note: There are no unit tests verifying the correct solution—if your app looks the same with the moved styles that's it! (note that a 1:1 move might not be possible)
