## Features
This web part demonstrates how to use a custom property pane control to allow users to inject custom CSS into the page at runtime.
> **Important**
>
> This web part is not intended to be used to override global CSS styles. It should only be used on custom CSS class names.
>
> At the time that we built this solution, the only codeless way to add custom CSS classes in a SharePoint page is to use the **Format view** option in a list view, then insert the **List** web part on a page.
>
> If you change any global styles, you may introduce unpredictable issues in your environment. Please remove the web part if you experience any issues.
>
> Injecting custom CSS is *not* supported by Microsoft or the creators of this sample.
2. From your custom list view, select **Format current view** from the view drop-down.
3. In the **Format view** pane, add the `class` attribute in an element node, as follows:
```json
"attributes": {
"class": "yourcustomclassgoeshere"
},
```
3.**Preview** and **Save** your custom format.
4. Add the list web part to a page and select the custom view you created
5. Add the **Enhanced List Formatting** web part (this web part) to the same page where you added the **List** web part.
6. After dismissing the disclaimer, use the web part's property pane to add your own CSS styles.
7. Save your page and preview it in **View** mode.
> **TIP**
>
> Try to use the out-of-the-box custom view format schema by using the `style` attribute wherever possible. Your users may want to use your custom view in areas where the web part will not be available -- for example, within Microsoft Teams.
>
> Rely on custom CSS styles to *augment* your design, not replace the custom view format.
### Suitable uses of this web part
Here are some examples of how you should use this web part responsibly:
- Add styles to your custom CSS classes that the custom view format schema does not support (e.g.: RGBA values)
- Add [pseudo-elements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-elements) styles to your custom CSS classes (e.g.: `::first-letter`, `::after`, `::before`)
- Add [pseudo-classes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-classes) styles to your custom CSS classes (e.g.: `:hover`, `:first`, `:nth-child`)
- Add [animations](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation) to your custom CSS classes
### Unsuitable uses
At the risk of repeating ourselves, do not use this web part to do the following style changes:
- Changing any CSS classes that begin with `ms-`, as they indicate a Microsoft global style.
- Changing element styles, unless you use your custom CSS class as a selector to ensure that your styles only apply to your list (e.g.: `div.mycustomclass`, `.mycustomclass > div`)
### Removing the annoying disclaimer
The sample has a disclaimer that is inspired by that annoying disclaimer you see on most in-dashboard GPS systems. If you want to remove it, you can do so by following these steps:
1. Open `EnhancedListFormattingWebPart.manifest.json'
2. Find the following section:
```json
"properties": {
"description": "Enhanced List Formatting"
}
```
3. Add the following JSON:
```json
"acceptedDisclaimer": true
```
4. Your `properties` JSON should now look like this:
```json
"properties": {
"description": "Enhanced List Formatting",
"acceptedDisclaimer": true
}
```
5. Test that your changes work by using `gulp build` and `gulp serve` and re-add a new version of the web part to your page
6. Build a production version of the solution using `gulp dist`. See [Building the code](#Building_the_code)
