ember-style-modifier

ember-style-modifier

This addon provides a {{style}} element modifier to set element's style. This allows to set custom CSS of an element without requiring a Content Security Policy style-src-attr: "unsafe-inline".

Compatibility

• Ember.js v4.12 or above
• Ember CLI v4.12 or above
• Node.js v18 or above

Installation

ember install ember-style-modifier

Usage

It expects CSS declarations as named arguments or as a hash as positional argument. Property names are supported in dasherized as well as in camelCase spelling. Value must be a string or undefined. You may set a priority by adding an "!important" suffix.

<p
  {{style
    border="1px"
    padding="1em !important"
  }}
>
</p>

<p
  {{style
    (hash border="1px" padding="1em !important")
  }}
>
</p>

You may pass multiple hashes as positional arguments and combine hashes with named arguments. If multiple hashes are passed and contain CSS declarations for the same property, last one wins. If hashes and named arguments declare same property, named argument wins.

Adding styles to pseudo-elements is not supported.

Known limitations

Ember Style Modifier suffers from two known limitations of Modifiers in Ember. Both need to be addressed by extending modifiers capabilities. Doing so, is discussed in a RFC issue.

Server-side rendering is not supported

Modifiers do not run in server-side rendering (SSR). Styles set using ember-style-modifier are therefore not applied if application is run with FastBoot or prerendered using Prember. This may lead to wrong layout before rehydration and layout shifts on rehydration.

Browser may paint the element twice on initial render

Modifiers run after browser has printed the page. If styles are applied to an elements immediately, the browser first renders the element without those styles applied and immediately afterwards with these styles applied.

This may theoretically cause the experience of a flickering user interface. But such a case has not been noticed yet in practice.

Rendering the element twice has a performance impact. But it should not have any noticeable impact in practice.
