JSX Attributes and Styling

CSS Property Conversion

Exercise: Create Style Object

Exercise: Dynamic Class Names

Exercise: Conditional Styles

Key Takeaways

1. CamelCase attributes - Use className, onClick, tabIndex in JSX
2. Curly braces for dynamic values - className={isActive ? 'active' : ''}
3. Style objects - Inline styles use JS objects with camelCase properties
4. CSS to JS conversion - background-color becomes backgroundColor
5. Dynamic styling - Use functions and conditionals to compute styles
