Can you update CSS from an API?

Time:02-27

I want to create CSS for the body of my react app that updates based on information from an API. Is that possible? Can you use if/else conditions?

one of the best methods is change class, not style.

For example:

  if (true)
    {
    var element = document.getElementById("myDIV");
       element.classList.toggle("mystyle"); 
   // or element.classList.add("mystyle"); ( but Toggle is better)

    
    }

You should look into using a library like classnames to conditionally render classes in React:

import classnames from 'classnames';   

// Individual class
<div className={
   classnames({ 'enabled': data.length })
}>


// Multiple classes
<div className={'first-class',
   classnames({ 'enabled': data.length })
}>

You could also use the ternary operator to conditionally render classes, which would look like this:

// Individual class
<div className={data.length ? 'enabled' : null}>


// Multiple classes
<div className={`first-class ${data.length ? 'enabled' : null}`}>
