Streamline Styling Across Multiple Pages with Global CSS Injection

In our ongoing efforts to enhance the functionality and flexibility of our application, we are introducing a new commonCss configuration option in ap-ssg.config.js. This feature enables users to globally inject one or more shared CSS files into the <head> of every generated page. By leveraging this option, you can streamline styling across multiple pages without the need to repeatedly add the same CSS files to each page configuration.

Key Features of Global Common CSS Configuration

Global CSS Injection

The commonCss option allows you to specify an array of CSS files (local or external) to be included across all pages automatically. This feature provides a convenient way to apply a consistent visual style across your application, ensuring a cohesive user experience.

Per-Page Control

To provide flexibility, each individual page can override this global setting by using useCommonCss: false in its pageConfig. This gives users the ability to apply or skip global styles depending on the page's unique requirements. By offering this level of control, you can tailor the styling of each page to meet its specific needs, without compromising the overall consistency of your application.

Example Usage of Global Common CSS Configuration

Global CSS in ap-ssg.config.js

To enable global CSS injection, you need to specify the commonCss option in your ap-ssg.config.js file. This option accepts an array of CSS files, which can be local or external. Here's an example of how to configure global CSS in ap-ssg.config.js:

// apssg.config.js
module.exports = {
  // other fields
  commonCss: [
    "/assets/css/global.css", // Local CSS file
    "https://cdn.example.com/theme.css" // External CSS file
  ],
};

Override on a Specific Page

To override the global CSS setting on a specific page, you can use the useCommonCss flag in the pageConfig. By setting this flag to false, you can disable the global CSS for that particular page. Here's an example of how to override global CSS on a specific page:

// src/home.js
const pageConfig = {
  title: "Homepage",
  path: "/index.html",
  useCommonCss: false, // Disables global CSS for this specific page
};

Benefits of Global Common CSS Configuration

The global common CSS configuration option provides several benefits, including:

  • Consistent Visual Style: By injecting shared CSS files globally, you can ensure a consistent visual style across your application.
  • Reduced Maintenance: With global CSS injection, you don't need to repeatedly add the same CSS files to each page configuration, reducing maintenance efforts.
