Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to style React components great and small. We used inline styles, CSS style sheets, and even Sass style sheets. You also learned how to animate child components in and out of view using CSS transitions.

Finally, we looked briefly at a couple of alternative technologies, which do the same things we did in this chapter but in slightly different ways. You may prefer one of these methods over all the others, but what is important is to recognize that there are many methods we can use to style and animate components.

In the next chapter, we will put all these skills to use as we dive into material design. There's lots of styling and animation to come!
