react-create-component-from-tag-prop

Create a react component from a tag prop.

Lets your users choose which HTML elements get styled by your 💅 styled-components.

Note: This utility is a handy escape hatch for 💅 styled-components, but consider whether you could use mixins or .withComponent(tag) instead.

Installation

npm install --save react-create-component-from-tag-prop

Usage

Text.jsx

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import styled from 'styled-components';
import createComponentFromTagProp from 'react-create-component-from-tag-prop';

const TextFromTagProp = createComponentFromTagProp({
  tag: 'p',
  prop: 'as',
  propsToOmit: ['size', 'bold', 'italic']
});

const Text = styled(TextFromTagProp)`
  font-size: ${({size}) => size && `${size}px` || '12px'};
  font-weight: ${({bold}) => bold && 'bold' || 'normal'};
  font-style: ${({italic}) => italic && 'italic' || 'normal'};
`;

Text.propTypes = {
  as: PropTypes.oneOf([
    'p', 'span', 'label', 
    'h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6'
  ]),
  size: PropTypes.number,
  bold: PropTypes.boolean,
  italic: PropTypes.boolean
}
