Defualt props on styled element (.attrs)

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? feature

What is the current behavior? Using the styled variable there is no way to set default props/attributes on the elements. In styled-components there is a way using the .attrs property such as

styled.img.attrs({
  src: require('...')
})`
  width:100%;
`

Have I missed some documentation of this (or a similar) feature or is this not (yet?) supported by linaria? Or is there another best practise of this?

Yeah, no surprise that this requires extra work and also may become a problem by adding extra complexity to the transpiler(?). However, personally I think this is quite an essential feature that might be a deal breaker for me. Despite the other amazing features of Linaria, clean and concise code is prio 1 for me.

If I use it often or not I think is quite irrelevant because I don’t want to trade your time against only my convenience. My main purpose was only to make the library better in general for any developer.

But to answer your question, yeah I use this feature in pretty much every other file. This mainly regards very simplistic components (such as in the example above), but also sometimes as a hoc using the styled(Component)-function.

But once again; This is not a demand, I’m only saying that I think you might have discarded this feature a bit quick.

Yeah, the attrs prop is useful if you want to derive props from props. However, implementing it also means extra work.

For a small amount of usage, usually, an HOCs is fine, or we can move the computation to an external function.

Do you need this functionality often?
