Why avoid defining styled-components or CSS-in-JS inside components?

Mid React
Quick Answer Styled-components or CSS-in-JS objects defined inside a component are recreated on every render รขโ‚ฌโ€ generating new class names each time. This causes unnecessary style recalculations, can break animations, and adds garbage collection pressure. Define styles outside the component or with stable references at the module level.

Answer

It recreates component definitions on every render, hurting memoization and performance.
