The CSSStyleSheet.insertRule()
method inserts a new CSS rule into the current style sheet.
Note: Although insertRule()
is exclusively a method of CSSStyleSheet
, it actually inserts the rule into CSSStyleSheet.cssRules
â its internal CSSRuleList
.
insertRule(rule)
insertRule(rule, index)
Parameters
rule
A string containing the rule to be inserted. What the inserted rule must contain depends on its type:
index
Optional
A positive integer less than or equal to stylesheet.cssRules.length
, representing the newly inserted rule's position in CSSStyleSheet.cssRules
. The default is 0
. (In older implementations, this was required. See Browser compatibility for details.)
The newly inserted rule's index within the stylesheet's rule-list.
ExceptionsIndexSizeError
DOMException
Thrown if index
> CSSRuleList.length
.
HierarchyRequestError
DOMException
Thrown if rule
cannot be inserted at the specified index due to some CSS constraint; for instance: trying to insert an @import
at-rule after a style rule.
SyntaxError
DOMException
Thrown if more than one rule is given in the rule
parameter.
InvalidStateError
DOMException
Thrown if rule
is @namespace
and the rule-list has more than just @import
at-rules and/or @namespace
at-rules.
This snippet pushes a new rule onto the top of my stylesheet.
myStyle.insertRule("#blanc { color: white }", 0);
Function to add a stylesheet rule
/**
* Add a stylesheet rule to the document (it may be better practice
* to dynamically change classes, so style information can be kept in
* genuine stylesheets and avoid adding extra elements to the DOM).
* Note that an array is needed for declarations and rules since ECMAScript does
* not guarantee a predictable object iteration order, and since CSS is
* order-dependent.
* @param {Array} rules Accepts an array of JSON-encoded declarations
* @example
addStylesheetRules([
['h2', // Also accepts a second argument as an array of arrays instead
['color', 'red'],
['background-color', 'green', true] // 'true' for !important rules
],
['.myClass',
['background-color', 'yellow']
]
]);
*/
function addStylesheetRules(rules) {
const styleEl = document.createElement("style");
// Append <style> element to <head>
document.head.appendChild(styleEl);
// Grab style element's sheet
const styleSheet = styleEl.sheet;
for (let rule of rules) {
let i = 1,
selector = rule[0],
propStr = "";
// If the second argument of a rule is an array of arrays, correct our variables.
if (Array.isArray(rule[1][0])) {
rule = rule[1];
i = 0;
}
for (; i < rule.length; i++) {
const prop = rule[i];
propStr += `${prop[0]}: ${prop[1]}${prop[2] ? " !important" : ""};\n`;
}
// Insert CSS Rule
styleSheet.insertRule(
`${selector}{${propStr}}`,
styleSheet.cssRules.length,
);
}
}
