Styling the post info

In this lesson we'll highlight the author and date info in our <Post> component so that they stand out from the rest of the post content.
Import styled into post.js and create and use a <PostInfo> component.
// File: /packages/my-first-theme/src/components/post.js
​
import React from "react"
import { connect, styled } from "frontity"
import dayjs from "dayjs"
​
const Post = ({ state }) => {
  const data = state.source.get(state.router.link)
  const post = state.source[data.type][data.id]
  const author = state.source.author[post.author]
​
  const formattedDate = dayjs(post.date).format("DD MMMM YYYY")
​
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{post.title.rendered}</h2>
      <PostInfo>
        <p>
          <strong>Posted: </strong>
          {formattedDate}
        </p>
        <p>
          <strong>Author: </strong>
          {author.name}
        </p>
      </PostInfo>
      <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: post.content.rendered }} />
    </div>
  )
}
​
export default connect(Post)
​
const PostInfo = styled.div`
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #f4f4f4, #fff);
  margin-bottom: 1em;
  padding: 0.5em;
  border-left: 4px solid lightseagreen;
  font-size: 0.8em;
​
  & > p {
    margin: 0;
  }
