Can't apply Css style to React-datetime using className - reactjs

I am trying to add border-radius: 5px to React-datetime component using className but not working.
E.g:
import ReactDateTime from ‘react-datetime’;
<ReactDateTime className=‘datetime’ />
.datetime{
border-radius: 5px;
}
I know that react-datetime module provides seperate css styles. But my concern is why it is not accepting when I do using className.

Try using inputProps with className as like below. It should work.
<DateTime inputProps={{className:'datetime'}} />

Have you try to add !important like :
.datetime{
border-radius: 5px !important;
}
If it doesn't work it could probably be an override problem.
You will have probably to check here :
https://github.com/YouCanBookMe/react-datetime/blob/master/example/react-datetime.css
If it doesn't work can we see your config for this package ?
We need to have a look on your complete component and css stylesheet

Overwriting MUI with scss

I'm working on a React project that uses MUI and Sass. Currently there are multiple scss-files full of !important to overwrite the MUI styles with sass. I tried to fix this by removing the !important's and adding:
import { StyledEngineProvider } from '#mui/material/styles';
import CssBaseline from '#mui/material/CssBaseline'
<CssBaseline />
<StyledEngineProvider injectFirst>
*** component tree here ***
</StyledEngineProvider>
as suggested here: Issue with #Mui and modularized scss competing intermittently. How to consistently override #mui default styling with scss modules?
Which seemed to work at first but stops working when you focus on a component. For example this button turns white with a blue border when hovered over:
scss
.button {
width: 250px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid grey;
border-radius: 15px;
text-transform: none;
}
.go-button {
#extend .button;
background-color: grey;
color: whitesmoke;
}
reactjs
<Button
className="go-button"
variant="outlined"
onClick={handleClick}
>
Go
</Button>
We are not using modules or makeStyles. What would be the best way to overwrite MUI without the !important's?
The default styles for many MUI components will include some styles for specific states like :hover, .Mui-focused that have a higher specificity than the styles of the default state. When overriding those styles you need to use the same specificity.
For instance, Button has default styles specific to hover, so you will need to specify style overrides for the hover state.
For example, here's one possible way to define your button styles:
.button {
width: 250px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid grey;
border-radius: 15px;
text-transform: none;
}
.go-button {
#extend .button;
background-color: grey;
color: whitesmoke;
}
.go-button:hover {
#extend .go-button;
background-color: #999;
}
According to my knowledge experience, you must use styled-components with MUI because they have a better pair rather then SCSS, with better pair you have better performance of the website & with styled-components you can easily modify the changes of MUI.

How to apply custom styling on react-datepicker with css modules?

I am trying to apply custom styling on react-datepicker datepicker input. Using modules:
.custom-input {
border-radius: 10px !important;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 30px !important;
border: 2px solid #cccccc !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
line-height: 26px !important;
}
And then I add the className to the datepicker:
<DatePicker
className={s["custom-input"]}/>
I created codesandbox here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/clnd-datepicker-forked-h9ju59
Any idea why its not working, even with !important on?
[EDIT]
Codesandbox is fixed.
Hello Alex : I took the code to my local vs code and updated the code a little bit which worked:
The only difference I code see here is instead of using s[""] you can use like :
import styles or <any name you would like to call it> from "./Datepicker.module.css"
and then call the css class name in the code like:
className ={styles.<cssClassName>}.
See my code ss:
PS: I also found one strange thing about codesandbox is that it keeps complaining about .module.css file in typescript code file. hence my codesandbox that I sent earlier wasn't working well.

add custom style to react-sortable-tree

I'm using react-sortable-tree library with typescript and react-sortable-tree-theme-minimal and I got this result
I need to make a small space between the arrow and the title like this
See the defense between Tokyo and Jászárokszállás
I add .less file with styling code
.rstcustom__rowTitle {
margin-left: 1% !important;
font-weight: lighter !important;
color: red !important;
}
and import it into my component import '../view/LayoutDepartmentSettings/Style.less';
and use it with the tree
<SortableTree
rowHeight={50}
treeData={this.state.treeData}
onChange={this.updateTreeData}
canDrag={false}
className={"rstcustom__rowTitle"}
.......
but the style doesn't change and the tree didn't affected.
please tell me where is my error
Add style inside your component that will help you.
<SortableTree
rowHeight={50}
treeData={this.state.treeData}
onChange={this.updateTreeData}
canDrag={false}
className={"tree"}
style={{marginLeft:3,fontWeight:"lighter",color:"red"}}
/>```
Thanks for helping me, I solved the issue by adding css loader to webpack.config file

Styled-components and react-bootstrap?

Is there a way to use styled-components together with react-bootstrap? react-bootstrap exposes bsClassproperties instead of className for their component which seems to be incompatible with styled-components.
Any experiences?
You can extend the style keeping the original styles of the component from bootstrap. You will find more documentation on using third party libraries like react bootstrap with styled-components here.
const StyledButton = styled(Button)`
color: palevioletred;
font-size: 1em;
margin: 1em;
padding: 0.25em 1em;
border: 2px solid palevioletred;
border-radius: 3px;
`;
Here is a sandbox for reference: https://codesandbox.io/s/2vpm40qk90
I'd like to offer a better alternative and approach.
I have been using react-bootstrap before and we have found that the current implementation was not porting bootstrap into react entirely and we still needed to rely on external files such as CSS/Fonts which is not styled-components philosophy and best practice.
Considering styled-components offer the css interface, we ported bootstrap 4 with best ES6 practices in a project called bootstrap-styled.
This Twitter Bootstrap v4 implementation of bootstrap is fully implemented for styled-components without a once of CSS or extra files.
This gives several benefits starting with a full js api, theming, modularity and reusability.
To override styles, it can be done through the <ThemeProvider /> or using props.theme on any component. We also export a <BootstrapProvider /> component that include <ThemeProvider /> and provide bootstrap class utilities such as .d-none, etc... in it's scope.
You can see a demo here

How to use material-ui (alpha) with styeld-components properly?

I've been trying to use styled-components with the alpha version of material-ui
According to the documentation, this should work out of the box.
This code:
const StyledButton = styled(Button)`
color: red;
text-transform: uppercase;
`;
return <StyledButton>Button</StyledButton>;
will generate something like this:
<button tabindex="0" class="MuiButtonBase-root-3177716317 sc-bdVaJa sxRGN" type="button" role="button">
...
</button>
It looks good.
However, the only problem I have is the order of the injected CSS styles (pic). Styles from styled-components are injected before MUI's styles which make their priority lower.
Is there any way to solve this without using !important?
In the current release (i.e. non-alpha) version, what you've asked would indeed require !important basis:
"Note that CSS properties defined inline are given priority over those defined in a CSS class. You need to use !important to take precedence over the inline style."
Ref: http://www.material-ui.com/#/customization/styles
Perhaps the alpha hasn't quite moved away from this inline requirement yet or it is still a work-in-progress.
What I've done to overcome this sort of thing myself is to (unfortunately) recreate the entire CSS on a standard <button> element when I need such a solution. Here's an example of how I'm doing that with a react-photonkit "theme"
// #flow
import styled from 'styled-components';
const PhotonStyledButton = styled.button`
font-family: Arial, Roboto, Helvetica, sans-serif;
height: 30px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 6px 12px;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 12px !important;
line-height: 1.4;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: middle;
cursor: default;
background-image: none;
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: $default-border-radius;
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.06);
-webkit-app-region: no-drag;
&:focus {
outline: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
color: #333;
border-top-color: #c2c0c2;
border-right-color: #c2c0c2;
border-bottom-color: #a19fa1;
border-left-color: #c2c0c2;
background-color: #fcfcfc;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#fcfcfc), color-stop(100%,#f1f1f1));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fcfcfc 0%, #f1f1f1 100%);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #fcfcfc 0%, #f1f1f1 100%);
&:active {
background-color: #ddd;
background-image: none;
}
`;
export default PhotonStyledButton;
styled-components in general is compatible with any component library. When you write styled(AnotherComponent) we take that component and inject an automatically generated class name. This means essentially it's the same thing as writing <AnotherComponent className="sc-asdf123" />!
The current version of material-ui specifically is a bit difficult to custom style because it uses inline styles. From the MaterialUI documentation:
Note that CSS properties defined inline are given priority over those defined in a CSS class. You need to use !important to take precedence over the inline style.
This means simply using styled(MaterialButton) won't work as the passed-in styles will mostly just be ignored. You need to bump the specificity of your styles to override the inline styles that material-ui ships with. (this article is a great primer on specificity if you're not familiar with the details)
Answer for the alpha version of material-ui
The current alpha version of material-ui has switched to using JSS under the hood. (which is CSS in JS not inline styles, like styled-components) This means the issue is likely to be that the styled-components styles are injected after the default material-ui styles. (which are injected by JSS)
JSS supports custom injection points so you might be able to add a <!-- jss --> comment to the HEAD of your HTML to make sure JSS injects its CSS before the styled-components injected CSS?
Answer for the current version of material-ui
There are two ways to bump the specificity of the styled-components injected styles, one more tedious and one a bit more "hacky". The first one is adding !important at the end of all of your styles:
const Button = styled(MaterialButton)`
color: blue!important;
`
While this works in most cases it gets tedious very fast when you have lots of custom styling in a component. The better way is to use the class name hack:
const Button = styled(MaterialButton)`
&&& {
color: blue;
}
`
These ampersands get replaced with the automatically generated class name meaning the outputted CSS looks something like this:
.sc-asdf123.sc-asdf123.sc-asdf123 {
color: blue;
}
This bumps specificity by a big margin, thusly overriding the defined inline styles, and is less annoying than having to put !important after each rule.
Now we can use <!-- material-ui --> to make sure the styles are injected after it.
By default, Material-UI will look for a html comment named to inject styles after. By adjusting the placement of this comment within your HTML body you can control the order that CSS rules are applied to your components. (ref)
