Is it feasible to parameterize the jQuery addClass() function to set specific CSS properties when called? For example, applying a color property to a CSS class when addClass() is invoked?
I am relatively new to JavaScript and CSS, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently working on enhancing the MediaWiki VisualEditor, where the addClass() method is utilized to instantly display changes made in the editor. However, I have not come across an example that demonstrates parameterization.
If this customization is not achievable, I would appreciate any alternative methods or suggestions on how to achieve the desired outcome.
Edit:
Currently, when I add a language annotation to the text using the following code:
this.$element
.addClass( 've-ce-languageAnnotation' )
.addClass( 've-ce-bidi-isolate' )
.prop( {
lang: this.model.getAttribute( 'lang' ),
dir: this.model.getAttribute( 'dir' ),
title: this.constructor.static.getDescription( this.model )
} );
The CSS style for ve-ce-languageAnnotation class is as follows:
.ve-ce-languageAnnotation {
border-bottom: 1px dashed #ccc;
background-color: #ebf3f5;
}
And for ve-ce-bidi-isolate:
.ve-ce-bidi-isolate {
unicode-bidi: isolate;
unicode-bidi: -moz-isolate;
unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;
}
My attempt at creating a textColor annotation:
this.$element
.addClass( 've-ce-textColorAnnotation' )
.prop( {
color: this.model.getAttribute( 'style' ),
title: this.constructor.static.getDescription( this.model )
} )
;
The style for ve-ce-textColorAnnotation class is:
.ve-ce-textColorAnnotation {
color: red;
}
However, this always results in red text. Entering an invalid color value does not produce any changes.
Edit2: One approach could be to create a separate class for each color option and add the corresponding class based on the parameter value, like this:
var color = this.model.getAttribute('style');
if (color == 'blue') {
this.$element.addClass( 'blueText' )
} else if (...
But this does not seem like an optimal solution.
Edit 3: An answer on this question on Stack Overflow suggests that directly applying attributes using
this.$element.css('attr', 'value')
