Back with another Polymer question, I have a Polymer/Electron app that I\'m trying to style.
I want to create a theme.css
that contains a :host
Using dom-module concept, and in order to use a external third party I did the next and it is working, but probably is not a Polymer best practice.
Dom module with 3rd party css (third-party-styles.html)
<dom-module id="third-party-styles">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../bower_components/thirdParty/external.css">
</dom-module>
I created a container (elements.html) where import all needed html modules, and there I registered the third party style module and my module
<link rel="import" href="third-party-styles.html">
<link rel="import" href="my-module.html">
And I added the elements.html in the head of my index.html
<head>
...
<link rel="import" href="elements.html">
<head>
<body>
<my-module></my-module>
</body>
In my Polymer Element (my-module.html)
<link rel="import" href="third-party-styles.html">
<dom-module id="my-module">
<style include="third-party-styles"></style>
<template>
<p class=".thirdPartyClass">Content with third party css rule</p>
</template>
</dom-module>
any feedback?
There's a new concept called style module (actually a dom-module
element behind the scene) introduced in Polymer 1.1 (read it here) and the old way of including external stylesheets has been deprecated (read it here).
Basically, you need to create an html file like how you normally create an element to store your styles. The id
defines the name of this file that will be referenced later on.
<!-- shared-styles.html -->
<dom-module id="shared-styles">
<template>
<style>
.red { color: red; }
</style>
</template>
</dom-module>
Then obviously you need to import this file in your page.
<link rel="import" href="shared-styles.html">
Now, there are two scenarios.
If you are using custom-style
at the document level, you need to
include the style module you previously defined like this -
<style is="custom-style" include="shared-styles"></style>
If you simply want to include the style module inside one of your elements, do this -
<dom-module id="my-element">
<style include="shared-styles"></style>
Have a look at this plunker that demonstrates both scenarios.
Keep in mind that in your particular example, since you are using :host
, I assume you will go with scenario 2. So this plunker should be a bit more clearer.
