# Example app with styled-components

This example features how you use a different styling solution than [styled-jsx](https://github.com/vercel/styled-jsx) that also supports universal styles. That means we can serve the required styles for the first render within the HTML and then load the rest in the client. In this case we are using [styled-components](https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components).

This example uses the Rust-based [SWC](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/compiler#styled-components) in Next.js for better performance than Babel.

Currently, only the `ssr` and `displayName` transforms have been implemented. These two transforms are the main requirement for using `styled-components` in Next.js.
