angular-ui-router-styles
This is a simple module for AngularJS that provides the ability to have route-specific CSS stylesheets, by integrating with Angular uiRouter.
What does it do?
It allows you to declare partial-specific or route-specific styles for your app using
Angular's ui-router $stateProvider
service. This solves that problem by allowing you to do something like this:
app;
Note that state1.state12
will have the parent file styles/custom-state1-override.css
injected; redefine the css array for override it.
How to install:
-
Install it with Bower via
bower install angular-ui-router-styles --save
-
Ensure that your application module specifies
uiRouterStyles
as a dependency:angular.module('myApplication', ['uiRouterStyles'])
-
Add css file(s) relative path to the state data object
Things to notice:
- Specifying a css property on the route is completely optional. If the state doesn't have a css property, the service will simply do nothing for that route.
- You can even have multiple page-specific stylesheets per state, where the css property is an array of relative paths to the stylesheets needed for that route.
- If a parent state exists the data object is inherited.
This directive does the following things:
- It compiles (using
$compile
) an html string that creates a set of tags for every item in thedata.css
state property usingng-repeat
andng-href
. - It appends that compiled set of
<link />
elements to the<head>
tag. - It then uses the
$rootScope
to listen for'$stateChangeSuccess'
events. For every'$stateChangeSuccess'
event, it cleans all css appended before and adds the new css file(s) to the<head>
tag if there are any.
