Introducing Inline Styles

Introducing Inline Styles

Solution

This one can be a little tricky because JSX is very similar to HTML but NOT the same.

Let's walkthrough the steps so that you understand the difference. First set your style tag to a JavaScript object.

class Colorful extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{}}>
        Big Red
      </div>
    );
  }
};

Now you have your style tag set to an empty object. Notice how there are two sets of curly braces. This is an important difference between JSX and HTML.

Second, let's set the color to red.

class Colorful extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ color: 'red' }}>
        Big Red
      </div>
    );
  }
};

Finally, let's set the font size to 72px.

Spoiler

class Colorful extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ color: 'red', fontSize: '72'}}>
        Big Red
      </div>
    );
  }
};

Notice how the JSX attribute is camelCase. This is another important difference to remember about JSX. Additionally, you probably noticed that there is no unit. In JSX, when setting the fontSize attribute the unit is optional and will automatically be set to px if not set manually.
