When using makeStyles
in Material-UI to override CSS styles for an npm package, you can write normal CSS rules in the makeStyles
function. The makeStyles
function accepts a callback function that returns an object with CSS rules. Here's how you can do it:
Import
makeStyles
: Import themakeStyles
function from Material-UI.jsximport { makeStyles } from '@mui/styles';
Define Your Custom Styles: Create your custom styles by writing normal CSS rules within the
makeStyles
function. You can override specific styles for the npm package.jsxconst useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({ // Your custom CSS rules go here container: { // Add your custom styles here to override the npm package styles // For example, you can change the background color and font size backgroundColor: 'red', fontSize: '18px', }, // Add other styles as needed }));
Use the Custom Styles: Apply the custom styles to your component by calling the
useStyles
hook and using the generated classes.jsximport React from 'react'; import YourNPMPackageComponent from 'your-npm-package'; import { makeStyles } from '@mui/styles'; const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({ container: { backgroundColor: 'red', fontSize: '18px', }, })); const YourCustomComponent = () => { const classes = useStyles(); return ( <div className={classes.container}> {/* Your custom content here */} <YourNPMPackageComponent /> </div> ); }; export default YourCustomComponent;
In this example, we are using the makeStyles
function to create a custom styles object. We are overriding the container
class of the npm package component by providing our own backgroundColor
and fontSize
styles. Then, we apply these custom styles to our own component by calling useStyles
and using the generated classes.container
in the className
attribute.
By using makeStyles
in this way, you can easily customize the CSS for the npm package component without directly modifying the package's source code. This approach allows you to keep your custom styles separate and maintainable.
