Can I get the CSS of a specific custom skin by REST API or endpoint?

Hi,

 

I'd like to specify some site specific CSS in a custom skin (either top-level, desktop, or mobile) and read the CSS via custom endpoint or REST API.

 

Currently, I can determine a particular node's selected skin with 

 

/restapi/vc/[node]/settings/name/skin.id 

 

Then update the skin context object and enumerate its properties and images via freemarker:

 

${skin.set([id])}
<#list skin.properties?keys as prop>
  "${property}": "${skin.properties[prop]}"
</#list>
  1. Am I able to additionally specify the skin type: top/base-level, desktop, or mobile (e.g. to read a custom skin's mobile configuration when device-view is desktop)?
  2. Can I get the Additional/Extra CSS as specified in the Skin CSS tab and/or the full generated CSS or URL for the custom skin?
  3. If not, is there a better or recommended location for including site specific custom CSS that is exposed in either Admin or Studio?

Thanks,

Ben

    Hi bma,

    what is the problem that you are trying to solve here? I am not currently aware of methods to do what you ask, however if you need to include very specific CSS in certain areas / pages - I would use a custom content component for that - but it really depends on what you are trying to achieve.

    Cheers,
