How to Conditionally Render Using Object Properties in styled-components

When building modern UI applications with React, styled-components provides a powerful way to style complex components. One common requirement is the ability to conditionally render styles based on component properties, especially when integrating with structured data like JSON. In this guide, we will explore how to achieve this by leveraging object properties from a JSON file for conditional styling in your styled-components setup.

The Problem: Conditional Styling Challenge

Suppose you have a button component in your React application, and you want its background color to change based on whether it’s active or not. The challenge arises when you wish to use colors defined in a separate JSON file instead of hard-coded values. The original code might look something like this:

Desired Approach

You intend to reference colors from a JSON file such as colored.json which specifies various colors like this:

The Solution: Leveraging Object Properties from JSON

The good news is that the solution is straightforward! You can still use the ternary operator, but instead of hardcoded color values, you'll point to the keys in your colors JSON object.

1. Setting Up the JSON File

Ensure your JSON file, colored.json, is structured correctly:

2. Import the JSON into Your Styles File

In your styles.js, import the JSON file that contains your color definitions:

3. Utilizing the Colors in Styled-Components

Now you can redefine your styled component using the color properties from the JSON file. Replace the ternary condition to access the correct color based on the props:

4. Explanation of the Code

Importing Styled Components: You import the styled-components library to create styled components easily.

Accessing Colors: You use props.active ? "Brand/PrimaryBlack" : "Brand/PrimaryGreen" to choose the appropriate color key based on the button's active state.

Dynamic Styling: By accessing colors[ ... ], you're dynamically pulling the hex value from your JSON file, making your styles more maintainable and centralized.

Summary

Using object properties from a JSON file for conditional rendering in styled-components is an effective way to streamline your styling approach in React applications. By following the simple steps of importing your color definitions and using them dynamically in your styled components, you ensure consistency and ease of updates in your design system.

Now, you can manage your color themes efficiently by editing a single JSON file rather than digging through and updating multiple components. This approach not only keeps your code clean but also enhances the scalability of your UI design.

Happy coding!
