UI Styles

This module allows:

• developers to define styles (simple lists of concurrent CSS classes) from modules and themes
• site builders to use those styles on:
  • blocks from Block layout with UI Styles Block
  • formatted text with UI Styles CKEditor 5
  • unpublished content entities with UI Styles Entity Status
  • blocks and section from Layout Builder with UI Styles Layout Builder
  • theme regions with UI Styles Page
  • style format, pager and exposed form from Views with UI Styles Views
• to browse styles from a library page with UI Styles Library

Example of a plugin declaration in the YAML file

colors_background_color:
  category: Background
  label: Background color
  description: Similar to the contextual text color classes, easily set the background of an element to any contextual class.
  options:
    bg-primary: Primary
    bg-secondary: Secondary
    bg-success: Success
    bg-danger: Danger
    bg-warning: Warning
    bg-info: Info
    bg-light: Light
    bg-dark: Dark
    bg-white: White
    bg-transparent: Transparent
  previewed_with:
    - border
    - p-2

Where:

• colors_background_color is the plugin ID
• 'label' is used in the library and the layout builder forms
• 'description' is only used in the library
• 'category' (optional) to group styles in the forms
• 'options' is the list of all classes and labels of the style
• 'previewed_with' (optional) is a list of classes used in the library to pimp the preview
• 'previewed_as' (optional) can be:
  • inside: default
  • aside: for styles not intended to be applied on p tag and having side effects
  • hidden: when the style may have side effects on the whole styles library

You can disable a plugin by declaring a plugin with the same ID and if your module has a higher weight than the module declaring the plugin, example:

colors_background_color:
  enabled: false
