**Upgrading from v5?** See the [migration guide](https://styled-components.com/docs/faqs#what-do-i-need-to-do-to-migrate-to-v6).



Utilizing [tagged template literals](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#tagged-template-literals) (a recent addition to JavaScript) and the [power of CSS](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/api#supported-css), `styled-components` allow you to write actual CSS code to style your components. It also removes the mapping between components and styles – using components as a low-level styling construct could not be easier!



```jsx

const Button = styled.button`

  color: grey;

`;

```



Alternatively, you may use [style objects](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#style-objects). This allows for easy porting of CSS from inline styles, while still supporting the more advanced styled-components capabilities like component selectors and media queries.



```jsx

const Button = styled.button({

  color: 'grey',

});

```



Equivalent to:



```jsx

const Button = styled.button`

  color: grey;

`;

```



`styled-components` is compatible with both React (for web) and React Native – meaning it's the perfect choice even for truly universal apps! See the [documentation about React Native](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/basics#react-native) for more information.



_Supported by [Front End Center](https://frontend.center). Thank you for making this possible!_

  background: papayawhip;

`;



function MyUI() {

  return (

    // Use them like any other React component – except they're styled!

    

      Hello World, this is my first styled component!

    

  );
