I am using styled-components and want to target the first child of Text
, but am unable to do so.
const Text = styled.p`
font-size: 12px;
&:first-child {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
`;
... component
return(
<div>
<p>I am just regular text</p>
<p>Me too</p>
<Text>Hello Joe</Text> // this should have the margin bottom
<Text>Goodbye</Text >
</div>
)
Finally, I got your issue. The styled component confuses with the first two native p
tag (from my perspective) and that's the reason why the CSS is not applied.
I will use a workaround like this:
const Text = styled.p`
font-size: 12px;
color: blue;
&:nth-child(3) {
margin-bottom: 20px;
color: red !important;
}
`;
By doing this, you are selecting the third child (which include the first two p
tag) for the CSS
OR, you can do something like this: Adding a class name for the tag and giving CSS for that class.
const Text = styled.p`
font-size: 12px;
color: blue;
&.colors {
margin-bottom: 20px;
color: red !important;
}
`;
<div>
<p>I am just regular text</p>
<p>Me too</p>
<Text className="colors">Hello Joe</Text>
<Text>Goodbye</Text>
</div>
Here is the demo
Hope it helps :)
