Setting a parent for CSS selectors in Material UI: A step-by-step guide

Currently, I am in the process of developing a Chrome Extension that incorporates Material UI. By using the inject method, the extension is able to apply all of the Material UI styles seamlessly.

I have been contemplating the idea of adding a parent selector for the Material UI styling.

Consider the following example:

<style data-jss="" data-meta="MuiPaper">
.MuiPaper-root {
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);
  transition: box-shadow 300ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) 0ms;
  background-color: #fff;
}

... 

</style>

My desired outcome would be:

#MY-ROOT-ELEMENT .MuiPaper-root { }

Answer №1

I found a different solution to the issue:

import { StylesProvider, jssPreset } from "@material-ui/styles";
import { create } from "jss";

const generateUniqueId = () => {
   return (rule, sheet) => {
      return `${sheet.options.classNamePrefix}-${rule.key}-***ADD-UNIQUE-ID-FOR-APP***`;
      };
   };

const customJss = create({
    ...jssPreset()
});

ReactDOM.render(
    <StylesProvider jss={customJss} generateClassName={generateUniqueId()}>
       ...
    </StylesProvider>,
    rootElement
);

By implementing this approach, you can prevent any potential styling conflicts when using the Chrome Extension alongside Material UI on a webpage.
