React Router vs styled-components: What are the differences?
Developers describe React Router as "A complete routing solution for React.js". React Router is a complete routing solution designed specifically for React.js. It painlessly synchronizes the components of your application with the URL, with first-class support for nesting, transitions, and server side rendering. On the other hand, styled-components is detailed as "Visual primitives for the component age. Use the best bits of ES6 and CSS to style your apps without stress". Visual primitives for the component age. Use the best bits of ES6 and CSS to style your apps without stress 💅.
React Router and styled-components can be categorized as "JavaScript Framework Components" tools.
React Router and styled-components are both open source tools. It seems that React Router with 36.8K GitHub stars and 7.53K forks on GitHub has more adoption than styled-components with 24.7K GitHub stars and 1.46K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, React Router has a broader approval, being mentioned in 111 company stacks & 99 developers stacks; compared to styled-components, which is listed in 63 company stacks and 48 developer stacks.
Storybook, along with React, styled-components, and Atomic Design, is the perfect tool to boost your front end development productivity. It helps you develop isolated presentational components with a super fast hot reload. It allows to test your props with knobs. Finally you compose, and reuse your components in your app.
You can host your storybook as a static website and share it with the other devs, so they are aware of the components already available in your library, and how to use them.
You can share the same with your UI/UX team, and converge towards a common design system.
You can even run visual regression tests on your library, with storyshots.
