How to pass parameter from Angular to CSS in HTML table - css

Question

I have HTML table in Angular web app.
Get the data from the database via service and display it as text.
One of the columns is Status, so I need to present that variable not as text,
but as a circle of certain color, so if that cell value is "green",
it should show as green circle.
Here is what I have.
CSS (part of Component Styles):
:host ::ng-deep td.circle {
text-align: center;
font-size: 0;
background-color: RED; <--- need to pass param here
}
I define that column as:
.circle {
border-radius: 50%;
height: 24px;
width: 24px;
}
HTML:
<app-table [attrs]="serviceapi" [monthSelected]="monthSelected" ></app-table>
TS for that table:
In constructor:
this.data = {
headers: [],
rows: []
};
ngOnInit() {
this.tableMetricsService.getTableMetrics(
JSON.parse(this.attrs).api,
this.monthSelected
).subscribe(response => {
this.data = response;
}
);
}
Any idea how to "translate" cell value into the CSS background-color ?
TIA,
Oleg.

Answer 1

You could put a data attribute on the html and write a corresponding selector:
[data-status="green"] {
background: green;
}
[data-status="red"] {
background: red;
}
<div data-status="green">Green</div>
<div data-status="red">Red</div>
But I don't see any advantage to this approach over using a regular css class:
.green {
background: green;
}
.red {
background: red;
}
<div class="green">Green</div>
<div class="red">Red</div>

Here is what worked for me:
<div *ngIf="cell.styleClass == 'circle'" [ngStyle]="{'background-color': cell.value}" [ngClass]="cell.styleClass">
</div>
