I'm working on a LoginComponent
in Angular 2 that should "restyle" the html
and body
tags, so I can put in a background image specific for the login page.
But just adding a style for the html, body
in my login.css
doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to override the style on the html, body
from a component? Or any element for that matter.
I've tried things like:
:host(.btn) { ... }
:host(.btn:host) { ... }
.btn:host { ... }
to style an element from outside the Login
component. But nothing seems to work.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but this won't leave you with a permanently changed body background-image.
Here is how I did it for something similar. If tou want to impact the body background image for just this page this may work. (I've not tested this fully but it seems to work on windows browsers.)
Inside your component you can just work directly through the DOM when the component gets constructed. When it gets destroyed you can undo the change.
For your purposes you can use a different function (rather than the constructor) when you button is clicked and you should good to go.
The way I used it is
This will dynamically add and remove style from the body for a particular component.
Better to add css file at root level and configure it in angular-cli.json OR add it in index.html . so you can write your reset and global styles and no need to worry about shadow dom and other concepts.
I use this approach in my component, loaded in router-outlet:
I had same issue with margin-top , the way I fixed is
This worked perfectly for me.
I just edited the styles.scss file and it worked for me.
