Inserting data into the style attribute from a separate file in React

We can avoid writing style objects in the component file, as in the previous lesson, and create a separate file with our style objects and import them into the required component.

So, let's take our component without CSS styles:

function App() {
	return (
		<div>
			<p>text</p>
			<p>text</p>
			<p>text</p>
		</div>
	);
}

Let's create a separate file styles.js in the src folder, in which we will write our objects with styles:

const class1 = {
	width: '200px',
	border: '2px solid brown',
	padding: '10px',
	textAlign: 'center',
};

const class2 = {
	color: 'orangered',
	fontWeight: 'bold',
};

const class3 = {
	fontStyle: 'italic',
	color: 'brown',
};

const class4 = {
	backgroundColor: 'orange',
	fontWeight: 'bold',
	color: 'white',
};

Let's not forget to export our objects as one object styles at the bottom of the styles.js file:

export const styles = {
	class1: class1,
	class2: class2,
	class3: class3,
	class4: class4
};

Now we import the styles object into our component:

import { styles } from "./styles";

Now we can apply the CSS style object we need from the general styles object to our tags. Let's apply the styles from the class2 object to the first paragraph:

<p style={styles.class2}>text</p>

In a similar way, we will add styles from objects to the remaining tags.

As a result, the component code will look like this:

function App() {
	return (
		<div style={styles.class1}>
			<p style={styles.class2}>text</p>
			<p style={styles.class3}>text</p>
			<p style={styles.class4}>text</p>
		</div>
	);
}

Take the React component you made in the task for the last lesson. Create a separate file styles.js that will contain CSS style objects for your tags, export them as a single object, apply the styles to your React component.
