on button hover I want to make changes to the :before content too , I couldn't find an answer in the official documentation I wonder f this is possible . here is the css selector I want to convert to a styled component syntax is:

.button:hover::before{}

and here is the styled component :

import styled from '@emotion/styled'

export const Button =styled.button(props=>{
   return`
    padding: .75rem 2rem ;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
    transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.785, 0.135, 0.15, 0.86);
    cursor: pointer;
    width: ${props.width ? props.width:'fit-content'};
    margin-top:  ${props.marginTop ? props.marginTop :0}rem;

    &:before{
         content: '';
         position: absolute;
         z-index: -1;
         height: 100%;
         width: 100%;
         top: 0;
         left: 0;
         ${props.collection?"background-color: #fff;":"background-color: var(--colorGrey);"}
         transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.785, 0.135, 0.15, 0.86);
         transform-origin: left center;

         //I want to change style on hover 
    }
    
    &:hover{
      color:var(--colorGrey);
    }
`})

Solution

  • Simply nest a :before pseudo-element inside the :hover pseudo class.

    Also, consider using a template literal, instead of a function that takes props.

    import styled from '@emotion/styled';
    
    export const Button = styled.button`
      padding: 0.75rem 2rem;
      color: #fff;
      background-color: transparent;
      border: 1px solid #000;
      position: relative;
      z-index: 1;
      transition: all 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.785, 0.135, 0.15, 0.86);
      cursor: pointer;
      width: ${(props) => (props.width ? props.width : 'fit-content')};
      margin-top: ${(props) => (props.marginTop ? props.marginTop : 0)}rem;
    
      &:before {
        content: '';
        position: absolute;
        z-index: -1;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        ${(props) => (props.collection ? 'background-color: #fff;' : 'background-color: var(--colorGrey);')}
        transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.785, 0.135, 0.15, 0.86);
        transform-origin: left center;
      }
    
      &:hover {
        color: var(--colorGrey);
    
        &:before {
          content: 'Hovered';
        }
      }
    `;
