Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"inherit" | "initial" | "unset" | "fixed" | "absolute" | "static" | "relative" | "sticky"'
This is a workaround, but it is alright.Some other solution is:
const mystyles = { position: 'absolute',} as React.CSSProperties;You can check back when this issue will be solved. Around TS 2.6 i guess, judging by milestones.
Use the React.CSSProperties type:
import React, { CSSProperties } from "react";const myStyles: CSSProperties = { position: 'absolute',}Then just use the style as normal:
<div style={myStyles} />
The answer by superluminary doesn't work if you have nested style objects. In this case you can create a type:
import React, { CSSProperties } from 'react';export interface StylesDictionary{ [Key: string]: CSSProperties;}And use it like so:
const styles:StylesDictionary = { someStyle:{ display:'flex', justifyContent:'center', }, someOtherStyle:{ display:'flex', justifyContent:'center', alignItems:'center', }}And then:
<div style={styles.someStyle} />
