Topic: Custom Styles in node_modules?

David Kroukamp free asked 6 years ago


Good day :) I apologise in advance if this is a noob question, but I am confused about the following: I would like to have my own custom styles. On this page https://mdbootstrap.com/css/bootstrap-variables/ it mentions that I should add my custom styles to the scss files within the node_modules\ng-uikit-pro-standard\assets\scss\ directory; but since node_modules is not included in source control and changes like these would need to be in source control, I feel like I'm not understanding something. Thanks for your time :)

Dear David Kroukamp, custom styles file is for MDB jQuery Framework. In MDB Angular your custom styles should be added to global styles.scss stylesheet. This is the best way to add your custom styles. Best Regards, Damian

Perfect; I thought that might be the case. Thank you! :)

That's true, custom styles should be added to global styles.scss stylesheet but I can't override any variables defined in MDB scss styles, as far as I know. Am I right? So, if I understand correctly I can override any style using pure CSS?


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 5 years ago

In order to overwrite variables from the MDB source files you would need to import them first into your global styles.scss file.

As in mdb.scss?

You can find more information in skins documentation (creating custom skin section):

Yeah, I'm doing it like described in the docs. However it doesn't work as expected, e.g. in `~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/_variables.scss` there is `$btn-padding-x-basic` variable that I'm trying to override but it not works.

Example of my scss file:

$skins: () !default;
$skins: map-merge((
  "hilight": (
    "skin-primary-color": $azure-radiance,
    "skin-navbar": $deep-cove,
    "skin-footer-color": #fff,
    "skin-accent": $azure-radiance,
    "skin-flat": #fff,
    "skin-sidenav-item": #fff,
    "skin-sidenav-item-hover": #fff,
    "skin-gradient-start": #fff,
    "skin-gradient-end": #fff,
    "skin-mask-slight": rgba($deep-cove, .60),
    "skin-mask-light": rgba($deep-cove, .75),
    "skin-mask-strong": rgba($deep-cove, .9),
    "skin-sn-child": #fff,
    "skin-btn-primary": $azure-radiance,
    "skin-btn-secondary": #fff,
    "skin-btn-default": #fff,
    "skin-text": #fff
  )
), $skins);

$btn-padding-x-basic: 0;

Please try with those imports:

@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/bootstrap/functions";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/bootstrap/variables";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/colors";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/pro/variables";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/mixins";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/global";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/free/buttons";
@import "~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/pro/skins";
