card-mod
========
[![hacs_badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/HACS-Default-orange.svg)](https://github.com/custom-components/hacs)
## Requires Home Assistant version 0.98 or later
Allows you to add css styles to any lovelace card.
For installation instructions [see this guide](https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins).
Install `card-mod.js` as a `module`.
## Usage
This is *not* a new card. Instead it *changes the way pretty much any other card works*.
Specifically, it looks for `style:` in any cards configuration, and applies the [CSS](https://www.w3schools.com/css/) specified there to the card.
The basis of almost all lovelace cards is a `ha-card` element, so that's probably where you'd want to start.
Note that some cards (`conditional`, `entity-filter`, `horizontal-stack` and `vertical-stack` as well as some custom cards, like `layout-card`, `auto-entities` and `state-switch` among others) do *not* have a `ha-card` element, and `card-mod` will thus **not** work for those. There is a workaround, though. See [mod-card below](#mod-card).

**Example:**\
Change the text color of an `entities` card to red.
```yaml
type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
color: red;
}
entities:
- light.bed_light
- light.ceiling_lights
- light.kitchen_lights
```

By using the element inspector of your browser ([chrome](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/inspect-styles/), [firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Open_the_Inspector), [safari](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5508711), [explorer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/samples/gg589500(v=vs.85))) you can find out how cards are built up and what styles they are using.
**Example** \
Make a `glance` card use smallcaps and change the font size of the title
```yaml
type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
font-variant: small-caps;
}
.card-header {
font-size: 16px;
}
entities:
- light.bed_light
- light.ceiling_lights
- light.kitchen_lights
```
![smallcaps](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1299821/59151624-9a1d7680-8a36-11e9-9b2d-598c80ff2aa1.png)
You can also use [templating](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/) to change the styles dynamically.
**Example** \
Make an `entity-button` card green when the light is on
```yaml
type: entity-button
entity: light.bed_light
style: |
ha-card {
background: {% if is_state('light.bed_light', 'on') %} green {% endif %};
}
```
![templates](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1299821/59151667-45c6c680-8a37-11e9-819a-ae5a058ac069.png)
Anything you add in `style:` will be put in a `<style>` tag, so you can also use things like css keyframes
**Example** \
Make a blinking button
```yaml
type: entity-button
entity: light.bed_light
style: |
@keyframes blink {
50% {
background: red;
}
}
ha-card {
animation: blink 2s linear infinite;
}
```

## Styling entity and glance cards
To make things easier, rows in `entities` cards and buttons in `glance` cards can be styled individually.
For those, the styles will be applied to the shadowRoot of the element, so a good starting point (rather than `ha-card`) would be `:host`:
```yaml
type: entities
entities:
- light.bed_light
- entity: light.kitchen_lights
style: |
:host {
color: red;
}
- entity: input_number.value
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% if states(config.entity)|int < 50 %}
blue
{% else %}
red
{% endif %}
;
}
```
## Templating
Jinja templates have access to a few special variables. Those are:
- `config` - an object containing the card, entity row or glance button configuration
- `user` - the username of the currently logged in user
- `browser` - the deviceID of the current browser (see [browser_mod](https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod)).
- `hash` - the hash part of the current URL.
## Advanced usage
When exploring the cards using the element inspector, you might run into something called a `shadow-root` and notice that you can't apply styles to anything inside that.
In this case, you can make `style:` a dictionary instead of a string, where each key is a [`querySelector` string](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelector) and it's value styles to apply to it - *recursively*. A key of `$` means go into a `shadow-root` and a key of `.` the current element.
This is not for the faint of heart.
For some extra help, add `debug_cardmod: true` to the card config, and the steps taken to apply the styling will be printed in the browser console. It can be removed later.
**Example**:
Change some things in an `alarm-panel` card.
```yaml
type: alarm-panel
card_icon: mdi:bell
name: Alarm Panel
debug_cardmod: true
style:
.: |
ha-card {
--mdc-theme-primary: red;
}
"#keypad mwc-button":
$: |
:host {
background: blue;
}
button {
font-size: 24px !important;
}
"#keypad mwc-button:nth-of-type(12)":
$: |
button {
font-size: 16px !important;
--mdc-theme-primary: green;
}
entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm
```

## Mod-card
There are some cards where card-mod just won't work.
Those cards often are not really *cards* at all, but change how other cards work. Examples include: `conditional`, `entity-filter`, `horizontal-stack` and `vertical-stack` as well as some custom cards, like `layout-card`, `auto-entities` and `state-switch` among others.
For those cases, a special `mod-card` is provided as a workaround:
```yaml
type: custom:mod-card
style: |
ha-card {
border: 1px solid green;
}
card:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: light
entity: light.bed_light
- type: light
entity: light.kitchen_lights
```

# Bonus function - entities card tap\_action
With card-mod installed, you will be able to use `tap_action` with rows in your entities cards:
Example:
```yaml
type: entities
entities:
- entity: light.bed_light
name: default
- entity: light.bed_light
name: toggle
tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: light.bed_light
name: navigate
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /lovelace/1
- entity: light.bed_light
name: url
tap_action:
action: url
url_path: https://google.com
- entity: light.bed_light
name: call-service
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
deviceID: this
title: Popup
card:
type: entities
entities:
- light.bed_light
```
# FAQ
### How do I convert my old card-modder configuration to card-mod?
For cards, you just have to wrap everything in `ha-card {}` and format it as CSS.
So, you go from:
```yaml
style:
"--ha-card-background": rgba(200, 0, 0, 0.5)
color: white
```
to
```yaml
style: |
ha-card {
--ha-card-background: rgba(200, 0, 0, 0.5);
color: white
}
```
For rows in an entities card, you replace `ha-card` with `:host` as described above.
Note that some cards can't be modded with card-mod. See below.
