A React Typography Components with styled-components

styled-typography

Typograpy components for react and styled-components

styled-typography is a small set of components, using styled-components, to better manage typographic styles within your app. The API was born out of years of managing large single page applications and design systems. It’s flexible to be used however you need and to be customized further, but simple enough to have a small API. Additionally, care has been taken to ensure accessibility when adding it to your apps.

styled-typography aims to be as small as possible and thus has no dependencies. It requires styled-components v4 or above and that’s it! To get started, keep reading.

Usage

The minimum to get started is to have a ThemeProvider somewhere near the top of your react tree. You don’t need to provide a theme if you want the default configuration, which will automatically be used if you don’t provide one.

import React from "react";
import { ThemeProvider } from "styled-components";

export const App = ({ children }) => (
	<ThemeProvider theme={{}}>{children}</ThemeProvider>
);

To configure the typographic setup, you can pass any and all configuration options listed below.

import React from "react";
import { ThemeProvider } from "styled-components";

// only customizes these three options. The rest will come from the default implementation
const typographyTheme = {
	fontSizes: ["2.369rem", "1.777rem", "1.333rem", "1rem", "0.75rem", "10px"],
	bodyFontFamily: "Source Code Pro, Input, monospace",
	headingFontFamily: "SF Display, Helvetica Neue, Circular, sans-serif"
};

export const App = ({ children }) => (
	<ThemeProvider theme={{ typography: typographyTheme }}>
		{children}
	</ThemeProvider>
);

Components

styled-typography provides components for you to use and extend if needed: GlobalTypeStyles, Text, Heading, Span, and Link.

GlobalTypeStyles

The GlobalStyleStyles component is a way to quickly get global type styles into your app. This is useful if you intent to use Span or Link outside of Text/Heading, or other non-styled-typography components in your app. It’s important, however, that you place it within the ThemeProvider component.

import React from "react";
import { ThemeProvider } from "styled-components";
import { GlobalTypeStyles } from "styled-typography";

export const App = ({ children }) => (
	<ThemeProvider theme={{}}>
		<GlobalTypeStyles />
		{children}
	</ThemeProvider>
);

Text

The Text component resolves, by default, to a p component within the DOM. It accepts all props passable to p, as well as TextProps.

import React from "react";
import { Text, FontWeight, FontStyle } from "styled-typography";

export const HelloWorld = ({ className }) => (
	<Text
		className={className}
		level={4}
		fontWeight={FontWeight.Bold}
		fontStyle={FontStyle.Normal}
		color="red"
		lineHeight={1.3}
	>
		Hello, World!
	</Text>
);

Heading

The Heading component resolves, by default, to a div component within the DOM. It accepts all props passable to div, as well as TextProps.

But wait, you say! That’s not accessible! I know. By default, a div is not semantically an h1 element. ARIA, however, provides attributes that can make it a semantic header. Thus, the Header component automatically gets role="heading" andaria-level=“#”` attributes.

import React from "react";
import { Heading, FontWeight, FontStyle } from "styled-typography";

export const HelloWorld = ({ className }) => (
	<Heading
		className={className}
		level={1} // semantic level
		displayLevel={2} // display/visual level
		fontWeight={FontWeight.Bold}
		fontStyle={FontStyle.Normal}
		color="red"
		lineHeight={1}
	>
		Hello, World!
	</Heading>
);

Span

The Span component resolves, by default, to a span component within the DOM. It accepts all props passable to span, as well as TextProps.

import React from "react";
import { Span, FontWeight, FontStyle } from "styled-typography";

export const HelloWorld = ({ className }) => (
	<Span
		className={className}
		level={4}
		fontWeight={FontWeight.Bold}
		fontStyle={FontStyle.Normal}
		color="red"
		lineHeight={1.3}
	>
		Hello, World!
	</Span>
);

Link

The Link component resolves, by default, to an a component within the DOM. It accepts all props passable to a, as well as TextProps.

import React from "react";
import { Link, FontWeight, FontStyle } from "styled-typography";

export const HelloWorld = ({ className }) => (
	<Link
		className={className}
		level={4}
		fontWeight={FontWeight.Bold}
		fontStyle={FontStyle.Normal}
		color="red"
		lineHeight={1.3}
		href="https://reactjs.org"
		target="_blank"
	>
		Hello, World!
	</Link>
);

Options

Each of these options has what I consider to be a good default. You may override all of them, or choose just a few to change.

fontSizes

Type: [string, string, string, string, string, string]
Default: ["2.369rem", "1.777rem", "1.333rem", "1rem", "0.750rem", "10px"]

fontSizes controls the 6 font size levels available to you. This generally corresponds to h1 through h6. 6 levels are required. If your app has less than that, just duplicate the smallest value until there are 6.

If only having 6 levels doesn’t work for you, please file an issue!

bodyFontFamily

Differences from react-typography

The main difference is that react-typography, and typography.js both are meant to setup typographic styling at the root level (i.e. at the body element). They don’t provide components to use throughout the app.

The main issue I have with this approach is that it’s not very JSX-like. To customize each instance of p, h#, span, etc, you must override each or create your own components. This is ok, but also time consuming.

styled-typography takes a different approach, by providing components that feel like react and have an API that allows you to customize each one as needed with props rather than a className or style prop.

Please use whichever you prefer! I personally prefer the API and components used in styled-typography, which is why I created it, but everyone’s different!

How native is React Native? | React Native vs Native App Development

If you are undertaking a mobile app development for your start-up or enterprise, you are likely wondering whether to use React Native. As a popular development framework, React Native helps you to develop near-native mobile apps. However, you are probably also wondering how close you can get to a native app by using React Native. How native is React Native?

In the article, we discuss the similarities between native mobile development and development using React Native. We also touch upon where they differ and how to bridge the gaps. Read on.

A brief introduction to React Native

Let’s briefly set the context first. We will briefly touch upon what React Native is and how it differs from earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is a popular JavaScript framework that Facebook has created. You can use this open-source framework to code natively rendering Android and iOS mobile apps. You can use it to develop web apps too.

Facebook has developed React Native based on React, its JavaScript library. The first release of React Native came in March 2015. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable release of React Native is 0.62.0, and it was released in March 2020.

Although relatively new, React Native has acquired a high degree of popularity. The “Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019” report identifies it as the 8th most loved framework. Facebook, Walmart, and Bloomberg are some of the top companies that use React Native.

The popularity of React Native comes from its advantages. Some of its advantages are as follows:

  • Performance: It delivers optimal performance.
  • Cross-platform development: You can develop both Android and iOS apps with it. The reuse of code expedites development and reduces costs.
  • UI design: React Native enables you to design simple and responsive UI for your mobile app.
  • 3rd party plugins: This framework supports 3rd party plugins.
  • Developer community: A vibrant community of developers support React Native.

Why React Native is fundamentally different from earlier hybrid frameworks

Are you wondering whether React Native is just another of those hybrid frameworks like Ionic or Cordova? It’s not! React Native is fundamentally different from these earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is very close to native. Consider the following aspects as described on the React Native website:

  • Access to many native platforms features: The primitives of React Native render to native platform UI. This means that your React Native app will use many native platform APIs as native apps would do.
  • Near-native user experience: React Native provides several native components, and these are platform agnostic.
  • The ease of accessing native APIs: React Native uses a declarative UI paradigm. This enables React Native to interact easily with native platform APIs since React Native wraps existing native code.

Due to these factors, React Native offers many more advantages compared to those earlier hybrid frameworks. We now review them.

Implementing a dark theme toggle with react-redux and styled-components

To keep things simple and concise, we’ll start fresh with npx create-react-app dark-toggle . While we’re in our command line, let’s get the npm packages out of the way as well:
npm install styled-components styled-theming redux react-redux
styled-components: we’ll use this library to create isolated components that encapsulate their own styling
styled-theming: this library offers a very clean API to work with multiple themes in your styled components
redux and react-redux will do the heavy lifting regarding state management

How to Select and Hire the Best React JS and React Native Developers?

Since March 2020 reached 556 million monthly downloads have increased, It shows that React JS has been steadily growing. React.js also provides a desirable amount of pliancy and efficiency for developing innovative solutions with interactive user interfaces. It’s no surprise that an increasing number of businesses are adopting this technology. How do you select and recruit React.js developers who will propel your project forward? How much does a React developer make? We’ll bring you here all the details you need.

What is React.js?

Facebook built and maintains React.js, an open-source JavaScript library for designing development tools. React.js is used to create single-page applications (SPAs) that can be used in conjunction with React Native to develop native cross-platform apps.

React vs React Native

  • React Native is a platform that uses a collection of mobile-specific components provided by the React kit, while React.js is a JavaScript-based library.
  • React.js and React Native have similar syntax and workflows, but their implementation is quite different.
  • React Native is designed to create native mobile apps that are distinct from those created in Objective-C or Java. React, on the other hand, can be used to develop web apps, hybrid and mobile & desktop applications.
  • React Native, in essence, takes the same conceptual UI cornerstones as standard iOS and Android apps and assembles them using React.js syntax to create a rich mobile experience.

What is the Average React Developer Salary?

In the United States, the average React developer salary is $94,205 a year, or $30-$48 per hour, This is one of the highest among JavaScript developers. The starting salary for junior React.js developers is $60,510 per year, rising to $112,480 for senior roles.

* React.js Developer Salary by Country

  • United States- $120,000
  • Canada - $110,000
  • United Kingdom - $71,820
  • The Netherlands $49,095
  • Spain - $35,423.00
  • France - $44,284
  • Ukraine - $28,990
  • India - $9,843
  • Sweden - $55,173
  • Singapore - $43,801

In context of software developer wage rates, the United States continues to lead. In high-tech cities like San Francisco and New York, average React developer salaries will hit $98K and $114per year, overall.

However, the need for React.js and React Native developer is outpacing local labour markets. As a result, many businesses have difficulty locating and recruiting them locally.

It’s no surprise that for US and European companies looking for professional and budget engineers, offshore regions like India are becoming especially interesting. This area has a large number of app development companies, a good rate with quality, and a good pool of React.js front-end developers.

As per Linkedin, the country’s IT industry employs over a million React specialists. Furthermore, for the same or less money than hiring a React.js programmer locally, you may recruit someone with much expertise and a broader technical stack.

How to Hire React.js Developers?

  • Conduct thorough candidate research, including portfolios and areas of expertise.
  • Before you sit down with your interviewing panel, do some homework.
  • Examine the final outcome and hire the ideal candidate.

Why is React.js Popular?

React is a very strong framework. React.js makes use of a powerful synchronization method known as Virtual DOM, which compares the current page architecture to the expected page architecture and updates the appropriate components as long as the user input.

React is scalable. it utilises a single language, For server-client side, and mobile platform.

React is steady.React.js is completely adaptable, which means it seldom, if ever, updates the user interface. This enables legacy projects to be updated to the most new edition of React.js without having to change the codebase or make a few small changes.

React is adaptable. It can be conveniently paired with various state administrators (e.g., Redux, Flux, Alt or Reflux) and can be used to implement a number of architectural patterns.

Is there a market for React.js programmers?
The need for React.js developers is rising at an unparalleled rate. React.js is currently used by over one million websites around the world. React is used by Fortune 400+ businesses and popular companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Glassdoor and Cloudflare.

Final thoughts:

As you’ve seen, locating and Hire React js Developer and Hire React Native developer is a difficult challenge. You will have less challenges selecting the correct fit for your projects if you identify growing offshore locations (e.g. India) and take into consideration the details above.

If you want to make this process easier, You can visit our website for more, or else to write a email, we’ll help you to finding top rated React.js and React Native developers easier and with strives to create this operation

 Component Life Cycle in React

Every component in React goes through a lifecycle of events. You can think is of going through a cycle of birth, growth, and death the same as the picture below.

The phases are:

  • Initialization — Starting the journey of your component
  • Mounting — Birth of your component
  • Update — Growth of your component
  • Unmount — Death of your component

1. Initialization

This is the phase in which the component is going to start its journey. The developer has to define the props and initial state of the component. This is usually done inside the constructor method (see below to understand the initialization phase better).

React Styled Components Example Tutorial

React Styled Components Example Tutorial is the topic, we discuss today. The styled components remove the mapping between components and styles. This means that when you’re defining your styles, you’re creating a standard React component. It is the new way to attach the styles to the components. Styled-Components is a new CSS tool, designed by  Max Stoiber and  Glen Maddern, which helps you organize CSS in your React project. It also works well with React Native. The traditional styling of websites depends heavily on an external stylesheet with CSS. It has been challenged advent of React and component-based UI design. So the styled components will be the one possible solution.

Advantages of using Styled Components

  1. Getting rid of the mapping between styles and components.
  2. Building small and reusable components.
  3. Reducing the risk of specificity clash.
