When working with a JavaScript variable containing style information, I encountered different approaches in AngularJS and Angular2+:
menuBgColor = "red";
In AngularJS, I could use dynamically embedded styles like this:
<div>
<style>
.menuElement{
background-color:{{menuBgColor}}
}
</style>
<div class="menuElement">...</div>
</div>
However, in Angular2+, the same method does not work as expected. The menuBgColor variable is not populated when the view is rendered, resulting in plain text being displayed instead of styled elements:
<body>
...other markup...
<div><style>.menuElement{background-color:{{menuBgColor}}}</style>
...markup...
</body>
Given this limitation, I am exploring alternative ways to add dynamic styles in Angular 2+:
- While ngStyle is an option, it may be cumbersome for applications requiring extensive dynamic styling across various elements.
- Furthermore, the absence of predefined theme files complicates matters, as users can define their own themes leading to numerous unique styling requirements.
- In such cases, one possible solution could involve interpolating variables to generate embedded CSS based on dynamic user-defined themes.
If you have any insights or suggestions on managing dynamic styles efficiently in Angular 2+, your help would be greatly appreciated.
