Custom CSS
Defining a custom look & feel through a CSS stylesheet
To define a custom look and feel through a CSS stylesheet, assign the URL of your CSS file to the customCss property in your JavaScript code, as shown in the following example.
customCss: 'https://yourdomain.com/stylesheet.css'
Using different values for different users of the builder
You can customize the builder's CSS for different users by dynamically setting the customCss property with a unique CSS file URL for each user. Simply concatenate the user-specific identifier to the base URL as shown in the example code.
customCss: 'https://yourdomain.com/' + users[config.user].id + '.css'
Best practices and risk management
Custom CSS is an advanced feature, which gives the host application great flexibility to customize the UI/UX of the builder.
Please use this feature with caution.
When used properly, it is a powerful tool that can be leveraged to accomplish anything from applying custom styles with fine granularity to changing icons.
When misused, however, it may harm the user experience and the rendering capability of the builder’s stage. For example, styles applied to the stage via CSS will not be reflected in the preview or exported HTML.
For the best possible results, please follow these best practices:
Avoid using generic global styles. (e.g. *, p, input, etc.) that could propagate to the editing stage.
Use CSS selectors to select specific elements and groups (e.g. body.bee–cs h3).
Do not attempt to pass JavaScript or any other scripts via CSS.
Ensure the custom CSS URL is hosted over HTTPS.
Do not link to CSS files hosted on GitHub, or by any 3rd party.
Never style elements on the stage, since those styles will not appear in the final HTML, and therefore lead to a confusing user experience.
Please note that classnames with the --cs suffix are reliable selectors for customCSS.
Other selectors such as the following should be avoided as much as possible:
Nested tag structure (e.g.
div > div > div)Siblings (
input + label)Classnames without –cs (e.g.
.icons__item)Prefixed classname selectors (e.g.
div[class^="StageModuleIcons_itemRow"])

Radiogroups in the context of our web application refer to a UI component that groups together a set of radio buttons, allowing users to select one option from multiple choices. Each radiogroup is associated with specific classnames that define the appearance and behavior of the grouped buttons within the sidebar's layout. These classnames, such as radiogroup--cs and radiogroup-button--cs, are crucial for ensuring consistent and functional navigation in your application's user interface.
