Styling React components effectively is crucial for creating visually appealing and maintainable user interfaces in modern web applications. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented various CSS strategies across thousands of React components including buttons, forms, and complex dashboard layouts. From my expertise, the most versatile approach is to use the className prop with external CSS files or CSS modules. This method provides excellent separation of concerns, easy maintenance, and seamless integration with design systems and CSS preprocessors.

Managing component state is essential for creating interactive React applications with dynamic data, form inputs, and user interface updates. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented useState in thousands of React components including form controls, modal dialogs, and dashboard widgets. From my expertise, the most modern and efficient approach is to use the useState hook in functional components. This method provides clean syntax, better performance, and easier testing compared to class-based state management.
