Components:Style names & overwrites

Using style names & overwrites

Currently you're able to style your components using the style tab within Betty Blocks. But sometimes you want a prefab to have certain styling the moment it is dropped on the page without the no-coder having to change this themselves. In this case you could use style names & overwrites.

Types of styling

There are 2 ways styles can be defined within a prefab, you can either refer to a style name that exists within your betty application, or use style overwrites.

Referring to an existing style with style name

When a prefab is dropped that contains a style name, the IDE will check to see if a style with this name exists in the application. If that is the case, this style will be selected by default, and applied directly to the dropped component.

style: {
  name: 'outline'
}

Styling with style overwrites

Style overwrites give you more flexibility, you can specify exact overwrites that this style should have.

style: {
  overwrite: {
    textDecoration: 'underline'
  }
}

This change will have the underline option set by default.

Combining style names & overwrites

You are also able to use names and overwrites together. This way you can use an existing style like outlined, and have overwritten styles above it.

style: {
  name: 'outline',
  overwrite: {
    textDecoration: 'underline'
  }
}

Limitations

Currently the style editor is limited to the Button component
