Do I need this?

Hi, I merely have a question here. I've been blindly using stylelint-processor-styled-components along with stylelint-config-styled-components because the documentation says so.

I was recently setting up a new project and noticed that – as far as I can tell – linting still works correct without stylelint-processor-styled-components.

I went on a quest to figure out what a stylelint-processor even is and I found this

Their use is discouraged favor of PostCSS syntaxes.

By the fact that it works, am I right to assume that stylelint-config-styled-components has been updated to no longer need stylelint-processor-styled-components? Or am I missing something?

Either way, it'd be really nice to update the README to explain when, if ever, adding stylelint-processor-styled-components is necessary.

See https://github.com/styled-components/stylelint-processor-styled-components/issues/278 and https://github.com/stylelint/postcss-css-in-js/issues/3.

In summary, the future is stylelint PostCSS syntaxes. If you are new users and find stylelint works well for you, this processor is unnecessary.

Thanks for the link @chinesedfan. I personally feel fine about removing stylelint-processor-styled-components from my CRA app.

IDK if you want this closed or left open for others, so I'll leave it open and let the maintainers decide.
