Load Style

Dynamically injects a stylesheet into a page or adds elements using the <style> tag.


When to use it?

Dynamically loading stylesheets into a page or incorporating styles using the <style> tag offers significant flexibility and performance enhancements for web development. This approach is particularly beneficial when you need to apply different styles based on user interactions or specific conditions within your application.

By dynamically injecting styles, you can ensure that your web pages remain lightweight upon initial load, therefore speeding up access times and improving the overall user experience. This method is especially useful for features that are not immediately visible or necessary, allowing for the progressive enhancement of the page as users engage with its content.

How To use it?

Example with Async

(async () => {
    try {
        await bstf.loadStyle({
            url: 'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css',
            appendTo: 'head',
            attributes: ["id=boostrap","data-test=2"],
        });
        console.log('Load boostrap on demand');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

Example with Inline Style

For times when you just need to add a bit of CSS, the inlineStyle feature makes it possible.

(async () => {
    try {
        await bstf.loadStyle({
            inlineStyle: `h2 { background-color: coral; }`,
            appendTo: 'head'
        });
        console.log('Inline Style applied successfully.');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();
