I am trying to style my child components. Isit wrong to put the style in a parent component? It appears that does not work.
I put the style for .card-page in the top level element (containing expenses-module where I use it)
<dom-module id="expenses-app">
<template>
<style>
...
.card-page {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<app-drawer-layout>
<app-header-layout>
...
<iron-pages selected="{{routeData.view}}" attr-for-selected="name">
<dashboard-module name="dashboard" route="{{subroute}}"></dashboard-module>
<expenses-module name="expenses" route="{{subroute}}"></expenses-module>
<settings-module name="settings" route="{{subroute}}"></settings-module>
</iron-pages>
</app-header-layout>
</app-drawer-layout>
</template>
In expenses module,
<paper-card heading="Expenses" class="card-page">...
</paper-card>
Seems like if I move the styles into expenses-module it works.
You cannot directly style elements inside custom element from their parents like that, because Polymer processes the style within <dom-module> and will apply styles only to direct child members. It will not descend into child custom elements.
In other words, standard CSS selectors will only work within the scope of the declaring component. Both in Shadow and Shady DOM.
For your styles to work with nested elements, you should use CSS mixins and properties. All PolymerElements and many 3rd party elements will come with such styling extension points. The naming usually follow the convention, where the main mixin is called same as the element itself. Additionally, there may be more specific mixins and properties, which style only parts of the element. <paper-card> docs for example lists --paper-card mixin, --paper-card-content mixin, --paper-card-header-color and more.
If you want to better control the styling of elements you use, you would want to create your own CSS mixins/properties and #apply() them to selected elements. See how in the example below --my-elem-card-page applies only to one of the two paper cards.

Summary: I need to style the contents of a <slot>, from the child component. I'm using scoped css and the styles don't apply:
I have the following two components:
<!-- Parent.vue -->
<template>
<h1>{{ msg }} from Parent</h1>
<Child>
<h1>{{ msg }} from Child</h1>
</Child>
</template>
...
<style scoped>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
<!-- Child.vue -->
<template>
<slot></slot>
</template>
...
<style scoped>
h1 {
color: red;
}
</style>
I want the 2nd <h1> to be red, but it's green, since the component is rendered with something like:
<h1 data-v-452d6c4c data-v-2dcc19c8-s>Hello from Child</h1>
<style>
h1[data-v-452d6c4c] {
color: green;
}
h1[data-v-2dcc19c8] {
color: red;
}
</style>
data-v-452d6c4c comes from Parent, and data-v-2dcc19c8-s from Child
If the second attribute, in the <h1> tag, was just data-v-2dcc19c8 the style I wanted would be applied, but since it has that -s suffix (slot?), it doesn't.
I could probably find some other solution with a class or something, but I rarely use <slot> and I want to understand the inner workings. That -s tells me that what I'm trying to do can be dealt with the help of the framework, what am I missing?
A working sample:
https://codesandbox.io/s/condescending-brown-ilfwn
Use the new :slotted selector in Vue 3:
Child.vue
<template>
<slot></slot>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "Child",
};
</script>
<style scoped>
:slotted(h1) {
color: red !important;
}
</style>
In Vue 3, child scoped styles don't affect slotted content by default.
In your particular example, the !important modifier is also necessary because the parent also defined an h1 style which would take precedence otherwise
I tried to set up a single file component. But the specified css (also scoped css) are ignored and not rendered.
I tried it with a simple component:
<template>
<div>
<h1>A Headline</h1>
<p>A test example</p>
</div>
</template>
<style scoped>
h1 {
color: red;
}
</style>
Component is rendered fine, except that the css style is not applied.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: This answer was a solution to the question as originally posted. It no longer applies in light of the revised code example. I'll update this again when I have an answer to the question as it stands.
You are applying the style to the class .h1 but no element has this class. It seems likely you intended to apply the style to h1 elements, so remove the . from the name of your style definition:
<template>
<div>
<h1>A Headline</h1>
<p>A test example</p>
</div>
</template>
<style scoped>
h1 {
color: red;
}
</style>
Hi I am creating my polymer element in which i am using < paper-card >. I want to change the height & width of my paper-card so that it occupies the entire space. Also i want to make few more changes but I am finding it difficult. I can do it with inline styling like this :
<template>
<div >
<paper-card heading="OTS Task" animatedShadow="true" style="width: 100%">
<div class="card-content" >
<iron-label >Label 1 </iron-label>
<iron-label> Label 2</iron-label>
</div>
<div class="card-actions">
<paper-button>Share</paper-button>
<paper-button>Explore!</paper-button>
</div>
</paper-card>
</div>
If you see here i have done style="width : 100%" to make it span the entire width. Can anyone tell me how can i write the same in < style > tag. I read few docs on this but found it very difficult * New to polymer *. Thanks in advance :)
Don't think that setting the paper-card element to 100% will work.
I believe that the correct way would be to use mixing as this is the way you style Polymer elements.
The correct way in this case would be:
paper-card {
--paper-card: {
width: 100%;
};
}
The alignment of the text would be in this case handled with:
paper-card {
--paper-card-header-text: {
text-align: center;
};
}
paper-card {
--paper-card-content: {
text-align: center;
};
}
A full list of the different selectors can be found in the element description here.
The equivalent CSS for <paper-card style="width: 100%"> would be:
<style>
paper-card {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
Here's a working demo:
<head>
<base href="https://polygit.org/polymer+1.4.0/components/">
<script src="webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import" href="paper-card/paper-card.html">
</head>
<body>
<x-foo></x-foo>
<dom-module id="x-foo">
<style>
paper-card {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<template>
<div>
<paper-card heading="OTS Task" animated-shadow="true">
<div class="card-content" >
<iron-label >Label 1 </iron-label>
<iron-label> Label 2</iron-label>
</div>
<div class="card-actions">
<paper-button>Share</paper-button>
<paper-button>Explore!</paper-button>
</div>
</paper-card>
</div>
</template>
<script>
HTMLImports.whenReady(function() {
Polymer({
is: 'x-foo'
});
});
</script>
</dom-module>
</body>

You can use is="custom-style" in your style tag and then use paper-card properties as described on elements page or standard CSS properties
I am building a Polymer Single Page Interface with a lot of custom elements.
Now I want my elements to have some sort of master style, which I can define in the index.html or my main content element. Think of it like this:
index.html
<style>
.classWhichWillBeUsedInCustomElements {
mainColor: #e0e0e0;
}
</style>
or
<script>
mainColor = "#e0e0e0";
</script>
my-cool-element.html
<polymer-element name="my-cool-element">
<template>
<paper-button style="color: {{mainColor}}"></paper-button>
</template>
</polymer-element>
or
<polymer-element name="my-cool-element">
<template>
<style>
.coolButton {
width: 300px;
color: {{mainColor}};
}
</style>
<paper-button class="coolButton"></paper-button>
</template>
</polymer-element>
Except that this doesn't work.
I have tried:
Creating a global variable window.defaultColor and using it like color: {{defaultColor}};
Using core-style in a parent element, without much luck
Creating a css class in my index.html and calling it in a custom element
What is the right way to achieve this? I am trying to avoid using Less
Use the following pattern in the index.html or a global stylesheet:
<style>
body /deep/ .classWhichWillBeUsedInCustomElements {
mainColor: #e0e0e0;
}
</style>
Then you could use the class within the custom element. The global style will punch the shadow boundary. You could replace body with any other element or selector under which you want to punch the shadow dom boundary.

I have one element that extends another and I'm having trouble getting the styling to override the parent using the example in the documentation. For example, say I want to style the praise in the parent element:
<polymer-element name="polymer-cool">
<template>
<style>
:host #p {
color: red;
}
</style>
You are <span id='p'>{{praise}}</span> <content></content>!
</template>
...
</polymer-element>
but change that in an extension of that element:
<polymer-element name="polymer-cooler" extends="polymer-cool">
<template>
<!-- A shadow element render's the extended
element's shadow dom here. -->
<style>
#p {
color: blue;
}
</style>
<shadow></shadow> <!-- "You are cool Matt" -->
</template>
...
</polymer-element>
You can see in the JSfiddle below, that I haven't been able to change the color of the span#p. I've tried a few other things like
polymer-cooler #p {
color: blue;
}
And tried putting the style inside of the tags, but no luck. Hoping it's possible and I'm just missing something.

Well, this looks like this works. I'd love to get some clarification from someone on whether this is the best way to do this:
<polymer-element name="polymer-cooler" extends="polymer-cool">
<template>
<style>
{
:host::shadow #p
color: blue;
}
</style>
<shadow></shadow>
</template>
...
</polymer-element>

EDIT: 7/22/14
Per the comment from Scott below, I have updated the code above from :host /deep/ #p to :host::shadow #p
