Passed Props

If the styled target is a simple element (e.g. styled.div), styled-components passes through any known HTML attribute to the DOM. If it is a custom React component (e.g. styled(MyComponent)), styled-components passes through all props.

This example shows how all props of the Input component are passed on to the DOM node that is mounted, as with React elements.

react

// Create an Input component that'll render an <input> tag with some styles
const Input = styled.input<{ $inputColor?: string; }>`
  padding: 0.5em;
  margin: 0.5em;
  color: ${props => props.$inputColor || "#BF4F74"};
  background: papayawhip;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 3px;
`;

// Render a styled text input with the standard input color, and one with a custom input color
render(
  <div>
    <Input defaultValue="@probablyup" type="text" />
    <Input defaultValue="@geelen" type="text" $inputColor="rebeccapurple" />
  </div>
);

Note how the $inputColor prop is not passed to the DOM, but type and defaultValue are? The styled function is smart enough to filter non-standard attributes automatically for you.
