Correct type for passing custom CSS via prop with styled-components












0















I've got styled-components (version 4) set up with TypeScript exactly as described in the official docs.



Components should accept arbitrary custom CSS passed via a prop, like this:



const FlexContainer = styled<{ customStyles?: any }, "div">("div")`
display: flex;

${props => props.customStyles}
`;


Questions




  1. What is the correct type for the customStyles prop?


  2. When is it necessary for component consumers to use the css utility function
    when passing custom CSS?
