## Gatsby.js Styling
|
||
|
||
There are so many ways to add styles to your website — and Gatsby supports almost every possible option, through official and community plugins.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: Gatsby doesn’t prescribe or dictate any single styling approach. Choose what works best for you!
|
||
|
||
## Layout Components
|
||
|
||
For sections of your site that you want to share across multiple pages. Creating and using the component as shown below.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
// src/components/layout.js
|
||
|
||
import React from "react"
|
||
|
||
export default ({ children }) => (
|
||
<div style={{ margin: `0 auto`, maxWidth: 650, padding: `0 1rem` }}>
|
||
{children}
|
||
</div>
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
// src/pages/index.js
|
||
|
||
import React from "react"
|
||
import Layout from "../components/layout"
|
||
|
||
export default () => (
|
||
<Layout>
|
||
<h1>I’m in a layout!</h1>
|
||
</Layout>
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## CSS Modules
|
||
|
||
CSS Modules are highly recommended for those new to building with Gatsby (and React in general). A CSS Module is a CSS file in which all class names and animation names are scoped locally by default. They are very popular as they let you write CSS like normal but with a lot more safety. The tool automatically makes class and animation names unique so you don’t have to worry about selector name collisions.
|
||
|
||
Check (CSS Modules homepage here](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules).
|
||
|
||
## Typography.js
|
||
|
||
Typography.js is a JavaScript library that enables you to define and explore the typographic design of your website and define beautiful custom and pre-existing typographic themes. It limits the number of tedious changes you need to make to your website just to change the font.
|
||
|
||
Learn [how to use Typography.js on your Gatsby site here](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/typography-js/).
|
||
|
||
## Using CSS-in-JS
|
||
|
||
With CSS-in-JS, you avoid all that as CSS selectors are scoped automatically to their component. Styles are tightly coupled with their components. This makes it easier to know how to edit a component’s CSS as there’s never any confusion about how and where CSS is being used.
