I am new to SAP Commerce and Spartacus. I have created a new Page Template, Content Page and defined some slots in that.
I have used the existing component(s) in the content slot(s).
Now, How and where can I add the custom styles for the new Page Template?
Would you please refer to the documentation regarding Component Styles?
https://sap.github.io/spartacus-docs/css-architecture/#style-library
Since Spartacus components are built and distributed in libraries, component styles cannot be used. These styles would be pre-processed and baked into the component library. This means that the CSS rules would not be optional, nor would they be easily customizable.
Instead, component styles are delivered optionally in the styles library. You can use those styles, extend them, or completely skip them and build your CSS rules from scratch. The contract between the style library and the component library is done through the (unique) component selector.
Best regards,
Jerry
Currently I found only one solution is to add global styles and use grids to make proper layout.
Here is a npm package I am using:
http://blueprintjs.com/docs/#components.usage
I would like to use their component with CSS, but I don't their CSS affect to my own CSS. Is this possible to allow the CSS package ONLY affected in that npm components? Thanks.
Precisely what #barry-johnson said in his comment above: we use pt- as a namespace for all of our CSS classes to avoid collisions with your own application styles. For instance, you could use your own .custom-button alongside our .pt-button with no conflicts.
However, if you use a Blueprint React component, then it's going to use the Blueprint classes, and you're going to want to use our CSS (because it's not just pretty colors, there's some useful layout stuff in there too). Hope that helps!
Is it possible to theme jquery-ui via npm?
Or do we still have to go through the download builder?
The jquery-ui package has the default theme included at:
./node_modules/jquery-ui/themes/base/*.css.
If we require('jquery-ui') that won't load any css styling as well, right?
Do we need to require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/all.css')?
Or is there a better way?
Is it possible to theme jquery-ui via npm?
Yes, you can use jquery theme package (link).
npm i jquery-ui-themeroller.
And import it
require('./jquery-ui-themes/themes/dot-luv/theme.css');
dot-luv is the name of theme.
Here is official document, not only theme list also tool for customize theme.
Remember to import jquery css file first require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/all.css')
If we require('jquery-ui') that won't load any css styling as well, right?
Yes, you should import require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/all.css'); to get the style file.
Do we need to require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/all.css')?
It is the simplest way to get all widgets style. But in most case we only need several widget.
That say we want datepicker only, we should import css file by
require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/core.css');
require('./jquery-ui/themes/base/datepicker.css');
And now you can use your own theme in the end.
I am trying to customize the Liferay UI by using custom theme using base as as "_Styled" theme.
I have my own css files which I coped to _diff/css folder of theme and imported them "custom.css" file .However its breaking the presentation of liferay.In my custom CSS I have styles defined for all the standard tags like body,div etc which is impacting the liferay UI too.
How can I resolve this conflict? Thanks in advance!
Quick (and not the best) solution is to remove contents of liferays css file (for example "base.css") and save this empty file in /diff/css/ folder of your theme. This way the base.css will get overriden with your new empty file and thus no styles will get loaded. And your custom.css will be the only stylesheet that is taken into account.
Well, of course it all has an effect on the rest of Liferay as well. Liferay provides quite a bit of the HTML DOM of your page, and if you change the presentation of all of those elements, you'll have to take care to style Liferay's elements too.
Is this a conflict? No. Let's go for the simplest case: You declare div {color:green;}. Of course, now everything, your components as well as Liferay's components, use green text. If you only want to style your own portlets, you might want to specify some portlets: div.portlet-my-own-application {color:green;}
I know that color is a too simple usecase, but I hope it illustrates the solution strategy.
Rather than following Artem Khojoyan's suggestion to override Liferay's base.css, I'd recommend to take a look at the resulting css, what's effective etc., and simplify your own css - adapt it to be used within Liferay - by inspecting the effective CSS for every elements that looks off. Firebug or any of it's relatives are your friend.
I'm afraid, with the details "I'm doing something which has an effect on Liferay UI" there's nothing much more to help you. In fact, I'd hope that what you do has an effect on Liferay's UI... You'll just need to find the proper CSS code
Ideally if your styles are loaded from custom.css, then will overwrite liferay default styles.
In some cases, to overwrite a style in css, you can use !important
for example, liferay default style
body {
background-color: #fff
}
You can specify your style to consider irrespective of order of loading
body {
background-color: red !important;
}
My objective is to generate a graphic layout (made of Richfaces components) based on some input configuration (like an XML file) and display it in my web app. The layout is composed of graphic symbols representing various entities in the system: each symbol should be mapped to an entity in the system, in order to display its state. The XML configuration file is used to define the symbol connections and positions within the layout, and their mapping rules to an entity. How can I achieve this?
I was thinking to create a symbol library in a technology such as SVG, where you can define both the aspect and the behaviour, and then simply "wrap" each SVG symbol in a dynamically created richfaces component, which would allow me to handle both the user interactions and the mapping rules defined in the symbol. Unfortunately JSF/Richfaces don't support SVG images, therefore I would have to use plain HTML without Richfaces features.
Another way to achieve that would be to simply define generic symbols in the XML file, each one of them with an attribute specifying the related image, the mapping rule, etc., and then generate the corresponding richfaces component from within the web-app. By doing so, would I be able to then display all the symbols in the right position and therefore generate the complete dynamic layout?
Could you suggest a better approach? Thank you very much.
I believe that HTML5 has direct support for SVG images, however it is still an embedded object in regular HTML after all. This too is something I have been waiting for however I don't believe any of the current JSF2 component libraries have an offerring for this yet.
Here is a good explanation of a possible workaround:
Getting started with SVG graphics objects in JSF 2.0 pages
Potentially you could build a custom facelet component utilizing this workaround?
My thought though is that when your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I would try to utilize an RIA (Rich Internet Application) technology better suited for display and manipulation of vector graphics like HTML5, Flash+Flex, Silverlight, etc..
