I've encountered a puzzling issue while working on a React component that includes other components. Despite specifying styles in the parent component for its children, the specified styles are not being applied. Strangely enough, when I enclose the children within div blocks, the styles work as intended.
Below is an excerpt of my code:
index.css:
.playlistsMenu {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
.elementsMenu {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
index.js, the parent component's code. It's not functioning!
render() {
return (
<div>
<Menu className={styles.playlistsMenu}/>
<Menu className={styles.elementsMenu}/>
</div>
);
}
Surprisingly, wrapping the Menu components with a div resolves the issue!
render() {
return (
<div>
<div className={styles.playlistsMenu}>
<Menu/>
</div>
<div className={styles.elementsMenu}>
<Menu/>
</div>
</div>
);
}
The problem seems to be resolved by applying styles directly within the child component (Menu). Mystery solved!
