I created an application in React using ant design library. In my CSS file, I added some base styles:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}I expect that these styles should override all styles, but they don't override antd styles. Inspecting the p tag in the console I noticed that these styles:
{
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 1em;
} /// comes from antd.cssoveride my previous styles. How to fix this (to make my styles to override all styles) without using !important?
demo: https://codesandbox.io/s/antd-create-react-app-forked-0vs14?file=/index.js:315-811
Try this:
html * {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This is how CSS works, since antd styles target directly the p tag, you selecting it via * won't have a higher importance unless you add behind it html * or body * or mark the styles as !important
Working CodeSandbox that I forked from yours.
You only need to add px in number value
Based on antd github issue You need to improve your CSS selector's specificity. And it's not a bug.. Github Discussion
p {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0px;
padding: 30px;
}
