A styled-component that has &:before
attribute that I want to give access to a dynamic color property. But I'm lost to how to apply that.
I've tried passing the props to <Hover />
and it works. But the triangle in &:before
cannot access that.
const Hover = styled.div`
padding:7px;
margin: -102px auto;
border-style: solid;
border-radius: 15px;
border-width: 3px;
text-align: left;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 19px;
color: #000000;
font-family: sans-serif;
position: absolute;
left:-15px;
z-index:10;
&:before {
content: "";
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
position: absolute;
border-left: 10px solid ;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 10px solid ;
border-bottom: 10px solid transparent;
left: 19px;
bottom: -19px;
z-index:10;
}
`;
As a single styled-component the following class is:
class MarkerHover extends Component {
render() {
const {color, children}= this.props
return (
<Hover style={{backgroundColor: color }}>
{...children}
</Hover>
);
}
}
export default MarkerHover;
I expect to have a whole colored Window after successfully passing the color props to the &:before
division.
As the documentation of Styled Components states (see https://www.styled-components.com/docs/basics#passed-props) you can read passed props:
const Hover = styled.div`
color: ${props => props.color};
`;
when you pass them like this:
<Hover color="#f00" />
You can use that same prop in your pseudo-element as well:
const Hover = styled.div`
color: ${props => props.color};
&::before {
background: ${props => props.color};
}
`;
So don't use the style
attribute on your styled component, but pass regular props.
If you want to apply a CSS rule only after a certain condition, you can do that like this:
const Hover = styled.div`
color: #ccc;
&::before {
content: "";
padding: 16px;
${props => props.withBg ? `background-color: ${props.withBg}` : ''}
}
`;
With background:
<Hover withBg="#f00" />
Without background:
<Hover />
