CSS child selector in material ui

Question

Trying to write a style with material ui equivalent to this in CSS

.deleted td {
    background: red
}

But not sure how to do it in material ui's CSS in JS way.

Here are the relevant snippets I have currently

const styles = theme => ({
    deleted: {
        background: '#eee'
    }
})

<TableRow className={classes.deleted}>
    <TableCell></TableCell>
</TableRow>

It should generate a style similar to:

.deleted td {
    background: red
}

Answer 1

As advised from @josh, using &

  deleted: {
    "& td": {
      background: "red"
    }
  }

https://codesandbox.io/s/llmq5or1w7

import React from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import { withStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";
import Table from "@material-ui/core/Table";
import TableBody from "@material-ui/core/TableBody";
import TableCell from "@material-ui/core/TableCell";
import TableHead from "@material-ui/core/TableHead";
import TableRow from "@material-ui/core/TableRow";
import Paper from "@material-ui/core/Paper";

const styles = theme => ({
  root: {
    width: "100%",
    marginTop: theme.spacing.unit * 3,
    overflowX: "auto"
  },
  table: {
    minWidth: 700
  },
  deleted: {
    "& td": {
      background: "red"
    }
  }
});

let id = 0;
function createData(name, calories, fat, carbs, protein) {
  id += 1;
  return { id, name, calories, fat, carbs, protein };
}

const rows = [
  createData("Frozen yoghurt", 159, 6.0, 24, 4.0),
  createData("Ice cream sandwich", 237, 9.0, 37, 4.3),
  createData("Eclair", 262, 16.0, 24, 6.0),
  createData("Cupcake", 305, 3.7, 67, 4.3),
  createData("Gingerbread", 356, 16.0, 49, 3.9)
];

function SimpleTable(props) {
  const { classes } = props;

  return (
    <Paper className={classes.root}>
      <Table className={classes.table}>
        <TableHead>
          <TableRow>
            <TableCell>Dessert (100g serving)</TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right">Calories</TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right">Fat (g)</TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right">Carbs (g)</TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right">Protein (g)</TableCell>
          </TableRow>
        </TableHead>
        <TableBody>
          {rows.map(row => {
            return (
              <TableRow key={row.id} className={classes.deleted}>
                <TableCell component="th" scope="row">
                  {row.name}
                </TableCell>
                <TableCell align="right">{row.calories}</TableCell>
                <TableCell align="right">{row.fat}</TableCell>
                <TableCell align="right">{row.carbs}</TableCell>
                <TableCell align="right">{row.protein}</TableCell>
              </TableRow>
            );
          })}
        </TableBody>
      </Table>
    </Paper>
  );
}

SimpleTable.propTypes = {
  classes: PropTypes.object.isRequired
};

export default withStyles(styles)(SimpleTable);
