How to Insert style tag dynamically in html in angular

How to Insert Style Tag Dynamically in Angular ?

Aman Jain, August 4, 2022March 16, 2024

Sometimes we want to insert style tag in angular app, For an instance we have third party APIs or widget and we wanted to add it in our page then in this condition provided script and style are not angular friendly or we can say it can be pure JavaScript or Style. so to insert this type of style we need to load it dynamically in our Dom.

In angular we can add those style in two ways first one is using the pure javascript way and other in angular way which also work on server application.

Let’s discuss the both way to Insert style tag dynamically in html in angular

Load style tag url using pure javascript in component

In this way we will create a component and then load the style in Dom so it can work as expected as below

loadScriptByUrl(url, afterload) {
    let dynamicScript = document.createElement('style');
    dynamicScript.type = 'text/css';
    dynamicScript.async = true;
    dynamicScript.src = url;
    dynamicScript.id = 'dynamic_' + this.count;
    document.body.appendChild(dynamicScript);
    this.count++;

    dynamicScript.addEventListener('load', () => {
      afterload(dynamicScript, dynamicScript.id);
    });
  }

Load style tag text using pure javascript in component

In this way we will create a component and then load the script in Dom so it can work as expected as below

loadScriptByUrl() {
  let dynamicScript = document.createElement("style");
  dynamicScript.type = "text/css";
  dynamicScript.async = true;
  dynamicScript.text = "body{color:red}";
  document.body.appendChild(dynamicScript);
}

Understand it with an example

Step 1 : Create an angular app

First step is to setup an angular app using below command

ng new example-component

Step 2: Create a Component

Create a component so we can use insert the style tag in it dynamically.

ng g c test-style
import { Component, OnInit, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-test-style',
  templateUrl: './test-style.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./test-style.component.css']
})
export class TestStyleComponent implements OnInit {
   
  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {

  }

}

Step 3 : Add loadStyleUrl method to component

Now add the logic for adding style tag in component in JavaScript way

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-test-style',
  templateUrl: './test-style.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./test-style.component.css'],
})
export class TestStyleComponent implements OnInit {
  count = 0;
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {
    
    this.loadStyletByUrl(
      'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.13.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.min.css',
      function (scriptref, id) {
        
        // do your work after load
      }
    );
  }

  loadStyletByUrl(url, afterload) {
    let dynamicScript = document.createElement('style');
    dynamicScript.type = 'text/css';
    dynamicScript.async = true;
    dynamicScript.src = url;
    dynamicScript.id = 'dynamic_' + this.count;
    document.body.appendChild(dynamicScript);
    this.count++;

    dynamicScript.addEventListener('load', () => {
      afterload(dynamicScript, dynamicScript.id);
    });
  }
 
}

Or in Angular server side rendering

import { DOCUMENT } from '@angular/common';
import { Component, Inject, OnInit, Renderer2 } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-test-style',
  templateUrl: './test-style.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./test-style.component.css'],
})
export class TestStyleComponent implements OnInit {
  count = 0;
  constructor(
    private _renderer2: Renderer2,
    @Inject(DOCUMENT) private _document: Document
  ) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    
    this.loadStyleByAngularWay(
      'alert("Dynamic loaded SSR")',
      function (scriptref, id) {
       
        // do your work after load
      }
    );
  }

   
  public loadStyleByAngularWay(text,afterload) {
    let script = this._renderer2.createElement('style');
    script.type = `text/css`;
    script.text = text;

    this._renderer2.appendChild(this._document.body, script);
    script.addEventListener('load', () => {
      afterload(script);
    });
  }
}

Here we added both way using loadStyleByAngularWay and loadStyleByUrl method, also we added callback so we can only run the external style method after load.

we added a library to format input field https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.13.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.min.css

Step 4 : Add html in template

Add simple html in template so we can test our implementation

<p>
  test-style works!
