Make changes to a characteristic of the pseudo-class ":host"

Within an Angular project, I am attempting to modify the border-top attribute of the pseudo-class :host associated with the component called p-table-row. This specific component is part of a library created by Porsche and can't be directly edited. View the visual representation here: https://i.sstatic.net/gG9Ec.png

Several CSS selectors were tested but none proved effective.

p-table-row {
  border-top: 1px solid red !important; // see image above
}

p-table-body {
  border-top: 1px solid red !important;
}

:host(p-table-body) {
  border-top: 1px solid red !important;
}

:host(p-table-row) {
  border-top: 1px solid red !important;
}

p-table-row :host {
  border-top: 1px solid red !important;
}

Considering utilizing a query selector to alter this attribute, however, unsure how to target the :host class.

Regrettably, unable to provide a stackblitz demo due to compatibility issues with the current library.


UPDATE: With modifications based on the guidance from Danny '365CSI' Engelman's answer.

CSS: Define border-top as desired.

p-table p-table-row:first-of-type {
  border-top: 1px solid $color-porsche-red-dark;
}

Typescript: Set native border-top to null to allow custom css rules to take precedence (directly setting desired value did not achieve the result). Take note that cssRules[0] corresponds to the :host element (ideally should be selected by name).

ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    setTimeout(() => {
      document
        .querySelectorAll('p-table p-table-row:first-of-type')
        .forEach(el => (el.shadowRoot.adoptedStyleSheets[0].cssRules[0] as CSSStyleRule).style.borderTop = null);
    }, 100);
  }

Although functional, the drawback lies in requiring a setTimeout function set at a maximum of 100ms to momentarily display the applied css changes. Occasionally, the timer may not suffice suggesting there isn't a flawless solution available.

Answer №1

Experienced programmers only resort to using !important when absolutely necessary.
I should write a sticky note to remind myself not to splurge on a luxury car like a Porsche.

To modify existing STYLE declarations within a shadowRoot, you may be limited to injecting CSS into the shadowRoot (specifically in open shadowRoots)

.querySelector("p-table-row")
  .shadowRoot
    .append(
       Object.assign(document.createElement("STYLE"),{
         innerHTML: `:host{1px solid red!important}`
       })
    );

Alternatively, you can explore delving into pre-existing stylesheets as mentioned in your original question
