  2. Styling

Modifying components with CSS

In UI Bakery, you can adjust the style of components using custom CSS. By default, a component's name (for example, usersTable) is added as a CSS class to the component class making it possible to modify it with CSS.

Adding new CSS styles

To add new styles, you need to specify a new <style> tag with the desired styles in the Custom code section, for example:

<style>
  .no-shadow nb-card {
    box-shadow: none;
  }
  
  .background-new nb-card-body {
    background: aquamarine;
  }
</style>

Once added, you need to apply these styles to a component in the Styling section of the component's settings.

Dynamic CSS classes

You can also define custom classes using code to apply them dynamically. Here, two formats are available:

  • an array of strings representing custom classes

  • an object where keys are custom classes and values determine whether to apply a custom class

// css classes as a list of strings

['class-name', {{ui.form.valid}} && 'valid'];

// or as an object
{
  'class-name': true,
  // will apply the 'valid' class only when form is valid
  'valid': {{ui.form.valid}}
}

Use case: Changing Table colors

You can also use custom CSS to customize component colors, say change colors in the Table. The flow is pretty much the same - navigate to the Custom code tab and add the necessary styles there.

Below is an example of the style you can add to change Table colors:

<style>
  ub-smart-table nb-card,
  ub-smart-table datatable-selection,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-footer,
  ub-smart-table ub-bulk-edit-buttons {
    /* background colors of card, title and etc. */
    background-color: beige;
  }

  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-header-cell,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-header-data-cell,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-header-action-cell {
    /* table header background-color (columns names, filters, row-add and etc) */
    background-color: beige;
  }
  
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active ub-smart-table-body-cell p,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active ub-smart-table-body-action-cell * {
    /* table texts colors */
    color: white !important;
  }
  
  ub-smart-table nb-card,
  ub-smart-table nb-card-header,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-footer,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-header-data-cell,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-header-action-cell,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-body-cell,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-cell.action-cell {
    /* main border color */
  	border-color: black !important; 
  }

  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-body-cell,
  ub-smart-table ub-smart-table-body-action-cell {
    /* default row background-color */
    background-color: pink !important;
  }

  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active ub-smart-table-body-cell,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active ub-smart-table-body-action-cell {
    /* selected row background-color */
    background-color: aquamarine !important;
  }

  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active:hover ub-smart-table-body-cell,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row.active:hover ub-smart-table-body-action-cell {
    /* selected-hovered row background-color */
    background-color: skyblue !important; 
  }

  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row:hover ub-smart-table-body-cell,
  ub-smart-table .datatable-body-row:hover ub-smart-table-body-action-cell {
    /* hovered row background-color */
    background-color: aqua !important;
  }
</style>

Use case: Changing page background color

Navigate to the Custom code tab and specify the following style to change page background:

<style>
  nb-layout .layout {
    background: yellow;
  }
</style>

You can experiment with custom CSS and change the styles till you get the final look you need.

Use case: Modifying List View items

  1. Navigate to the Custom code tab and specify the following style:

<style>
  .blue nb-card {
    background: lightblue!important;
  }
  
  .green nb-card {
    background: lightgreen!important;
  }
</style>
  1. Now, select a Card inside the List View, and navigate to its Styling section.

  2. Here, add your custom classes using the {{index}} variable, for example:

{
  'blue': {{index % 2 == 0}},
  'green': {{index % 2 == 1}},
}
