Can we generate CSS dynamically?
It is worth noting that while pre/postprocessor variables are only used at compilation-time, CSS variables can be used and updated dynamically. It means that they are preserved in the actual CSS stylesheet. So the notion that they are variables will remain even after the stylesheets are compiled.
What is server side CSS?
What’s happening server-side is turning the LESS syntax (which is a marked improvement on CSS) into CSS syntax. The way @T.J.Crowder is describing this sounds like the CSS files are getting processed every time a page loads. That’s a bit inefficient — they should really be processed once at deployment.
How do I import CSS in next JS?
To add a stylesheet to your application, import the CSS file within pages/_app. js . Create a pages/_app. js file if not already present.
Does JS run before CSS?
When it comes to ordering your CSS and JavaScript, you want your CSS to come first. The reason is that the rendering thread has all the style information it needs to render the page. If the JavaScript includes come first, the JavaScript engine has to parse it all before continuing on to the next set of resources.
Is there such thing as server side generated CSS?
As server-side generated HTML is trivial (and it was the only way to make dynamic webpages before AJAX), server-side generated CSS is not. Actually, I’ve never seen it.
Why are CSS files seldom generated dynamically?
The big reason why css is seldom generated dynamically (this is also true for javascript) is because they are good candidates for caching.
Is there such thing as semi-dynamic CSS?
Dynamic CSS is fairly trivial, and even though its applications are more limited (seeing how dynamically-generated HTML with a static stylesheet solves most day-to-day needs, and CSS itself incorporates a few mechanisms to achieve semi-dynamic), I’ve seen it used on many occasions, and I use them myself whenever I need to.
Are there compilers that can generate CSS files?
There are CSS compilers, but they generate CSS files which can be used as static. Technically, it requires no special libraries, the HTML style tag should reference to the PHP (/ASP/whatever) templater script instead of the static CSS file, and the script should send out CSS content-type header – that’s all.
