Angular2 dynamic change CSS property

Question

Answer 1

Just use standard CSS variables:

Your global css (eg: styles.css)

body {
  --my-var: #000
}

In your component's css or whatever it is:

span {
  color: var(--my-var)
}

Then you can change the value of the variable directly with TS/JS by setting inline style to html element:

document.querySelector("body").style.cssText = "--my-var: #000";

Otherwise you can use jQuery for it:

$("body").css("--my-var", "#fff");
