Inline styles for tables in ReactJS/JSX - css

Question

Hi I'm having trouble adding inline styling to table components in React. Basically what I'm trying to do is so that the table header/cells are divided equally spacing so I'm adding width: '50%' styling to make this work. I added in the console and it works, but when I return to add it in my code, it doesn't.
I tried adding it to anything just to see if it work and it doesn't. Is there something I'm missing?
What it looks like:
What I want it to look like (after adding width styling to console):
JSX:
<table className="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr styles={{width: '50%'}}>
<th styles={{width: '50%'}}>Hello</th>
<th styles={{width: '50%'}}>World</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{(data.length == 0)&&
<tr>
<td>I'm</td>
<td>Sam</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>

As mentioned in the comments
Change 'styles' to 'style' – cidicles
Usually plural styles is the convention people use when passing a variable to another component, while singular style is the keyword that jsx-html tags will receive to inline the css.
Other answers recommend adding styles to html tags directly in the css. While adding styles on html tags directly without using classes may work it is worth it to note that it may not scale well This will require more work on us to come back and maintain/update the original code.

You can use table-layout: fixed; width: 100% on the table to force equal column widths:
table {
width: 100%;
table-layout: fixed;
}
table tr th {
text-align: left;
background: gray;
color: white;
}
<table className="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr style={{width: '50%'}}>
<th style={{width: '50%'}}>Hello</th>
<th style={{width: '50%'}}>World</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody
<tr>
<td>I'm</td>
<td>Sam</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Your width: 50% isn't working most likely because your parent .table doesn't have a width set. You can try adding width: 100% to the table and then your 50% might work.
EDIT
As other users have mentioned, change styles to style as well.
