The road to styled components, and the road ahead
summary
History of CSS Modules and a new library leads to a concrete claim: styled-components packages CSS into JS so components ship scoped styles, a Babel plugin aids server rendering and performance, and the project reports 400,000 downloads a month with 10,000+ GitHub stars and ~140 contributors. Implementation details: uses tagged template literals, runtime injection, an optional Babel transform to compile away extra React wrapper cost, auto-prefixing down to IE10, and adapters for React Native and related primitives so the technique actually works across targets.
