Target another styled component on hover


As of styled-components v2 you can interpolate other styled components to refer to their automatically generated class names. In your case you'll probably want to do something like this:

const Wrapper = styled.div`  &:hover ${Button} {    display: none;  }`

See the documentation for more information!

The order of components is important. It will only work if Button is defined above/before Wrapper.


If you're using v1 and you need to do this you can work around it by using a custom class name:

const Wrapper = styled.div`  &:hover .my__unique__button__class-asdf123 {    display: none;  }`<Wrapper>  <Button className="my__unique__button__class-asdf123" /></Wrapper>

Since v2 is a drop-in upgrade from v1 I'd recommend updating, but if that's not in the cards this is a fine workaround.


Similarly to mxstbr's answer, you can also use interpolation to reference a parent component. I like this route because it encapsulates a component's styling a little better than referencing the child component in the parent.

const Button = styled.button`  ${Wrapper}:hover & {    display: none;  }`;

I couldn't tell you when this feature was introduced but this works as of v3.

My solution is

const Content = styled.div`  &:hover + ${ImgPortal} {    &:after {      opacity: 1;    }  }`;
