style-inject

What is style-inject?

The 'style-inject' npm package is a utility for injecting CSS styles into the DOM. It is particularly useful for dynamically adding styles to a web page without needing to modify the HTML or CSS files directly. This can be useful in various scenarios, such as theming, dynamic styling, or when working with component-based frameworks.

What are style-inject's main functionalities?

Injecting CSS Styles

This feature allows you to inject a string of CSS styles directly into the DOM. The provided code sample demonstrates how to change the background color of the body to blue.

const styleInject = require('style-inject');
const css = 'body { background-color: blue; }';
styleInject(css);

Injecting CSS with Options

This feature allows you to inject CSS styles with additional options. In this example, the CSS is inserted at the top of the head element, which can be useful for ensuring that the styles take precedence over others.

const styleInject = require('style-inject');
const css = 'body { background-color: red; }';
const options = { insertAt: 'top' };
styleInject(css, options);
