customstyle

Adding {% customstyle %} tag to template triggers usage of design editor.

{% customstyle %}
    ....
{% endcustomstyle %}

Design editor is an UI extension that allows site editor to change given parameters of CSS like background colour or font.



Implementation

The code between {% customstyle %} tags should be standard CSS syntax using css variable declarations with added "Voogstyle" comments before variable assignments. Variables can currently be only in global scope. Polyfilling browser support is added automatically.  The comments contain additional data about how and where the parameter should be displayed in the design editor.

{% customstyle %}

  :root {
  /* VoogStyle
    "path": ["Main Styles"],
    "title": "Bg color",
    "editor": "colorPicker",
"boundVariables": ["--title-color"]
  */
  --page-color: red;
}

body {
    color: var(--page-color);
}

{% endcustomstyle %}

The syntax in the  "/* Voogstyle" comment must be valid JSON syntax, meaning the keys must be escaped in double quotes and comma separated and tailing comma in lists is not allowed.

  • path Array (required)
    • Defines the position in design editor tree structure. Also defines the Titles of the groups. Ex: 
      ["Maingroup title", "Subgroup title", "Tabbed Group"]
  • title String (required).
    • Title used in the editor of the parameter.
  • editor String (required)
    • Defines the editor used for changing the value. Currently there are four editor types to choose from: "colorPicker", "listPicker, "rangePicker" and "toggleIcon".
  • type String (deafult: "row")
    • Every editor has two visual types: "row" (shown as a separate row in editor with title displayed left) and "button" (shown as a compact button without title displayed). 
  • featured Boolean (default: false)
    • If set to true, and editor path is at least level 2, the editor is also displayed after Level 2 heading when group is collapsed.
