Cannot create styled-component for component: undefined.




Cannot Create Styled-Component for Component: Undefined

The error message “Cannot create styled-component for component: undefined” typically occurs when
trying to use styled-components library with an undefined component.

The styled-components library allows us to create React components that have styles defined using CSS.
However, it requires a valid React component as the argument to create the styled version of that component.
If the component passed as an argument is undefined, this error will be thrown.

Example:
import React from ‘react’;
import styled from ‘styled-components’;

const StyledButton = styled(Button)` /* Invalid: Button component is not defined */
background-color: blue;
color: white;
`;

In the above example, a StyledButton component is created using styled-components, but the Button component
is not imported or defined anywhere. This will result in the mentioned error message.

To resolve this issue, make sure that the component passed as an argument to the styled() function is a valid
React component that is imported or defined properly. Check the spelling and ensure the component is correctly
exported from its source file.
