Use css file to change the color of links in React. We can define the styles applicable to the anchor element and import the css file in the component to make the styles take effect.

Our css file might look like this:

App.css

a {
  color: green;
}

a:hover {
  color: red;
}

Here is how we import our own css file to apply the styles

import {BrowserRouter as Router, Link} from 'react-router-dom';

import './App.css';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <div>
        <Link to="/">Home</Link>

        <br />
        <br />

        <a href="https://www.jiyik.com" target="_blank">
          jiyik.com
        </a>
      </div>
    </Router>
  );
}

Styles apply to Linkboth the <img src="https://github.com/openwrt/blob/master/of-resources/html; </img src="https://github.com/openwrt ...openwrt/openwrt/openwrt/openwrt/openwrt/openwrt/openwrt/openwrt Link/ <a>openwr

This approach also works when using a third-party library that provides a wrapper component for links. As long as the library uses athe <link> tag, the color of the link will be set.

It is a best practice to import global css files in your index.js file, because this way they will not only be loaded when some component is mounted.

If we didn’t have to use a pseudo-class like hover, we could also use inline styles to change the color of the link.

import {BrowserRouter as Router, Link} from 'react-router-dom';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <div>
        <Link style=\{\{color: 'green'\}\} to="/">
          Home
        </Link>

        <br />
        <br />

        <a style=\{\{color: 'red'\}\} href="https://www.jiyik.com" target="_blank">
          jiyik.com
        </a>
      </div>
    </Router>
  );
}

The code example uses inline styles to change the color of Linkthe component and athe tag.

The first set of curly braces in an inline style mark the start of the expression, and the second set of curly braces is an object containing the style and value.

Make sure Linkto set the color property on the element and not on its child elements.

If coloryou use inline styles for the <hover> property, you cannot update the hover pseudo-class for the same property in your global css file because the inline style has a higher priority.
