card-mod
========
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 all lovelace cards there's a `ha-card` element, so that's probably where you'd want to start.

**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
```

You can also use [templates](https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Mod-plugin-templates) 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(light.bed_light == "on", "green", "") ]];
}
```
![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;
}
```

## 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.
**Example**:
Change some things in an `alarm-panel` card.
```yaml
type: alarm-panel
card_icon: mdi:bell
name: Alarm Panel
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
```
