Initial Styles Table of Contents Function name: getInitialStyles() This partial is required since v3.7.0.It is necessary to provide some default styles to Porsche Design System components until they are fully bootstrapped to prevent FOUC. In addition, normalize and component related slotted styles are provided too. Therefore, we provide a ready to use partial in all @porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue} packages which has to be injected into the <head> of your index.html. Supported options OptionDescriptionTypeDefaultprefixPrefix will be added to the component names. It's also possible to pass multiple prefixes.string | string[]''formatDefines the output format of the partial. By default, it returns a html string. For jsx it return a jsx element. For sha256 it returns a SHA-256 hash of the innerHTML to use in a Content Security Policy (CSP).'html' | 'jsx' | 'sha256' | 'html'globalStylesOption to include/exclude global reset/normalize styles.booleantrue When using jsx in the format option, it is necessary to have react/jsx-runtime as a dependency in the project included. Examples Project integration differs based on the project setup. The following showcases the most common ways.
<!-- index.html -->
<head>
  <!--PLACEHOLDER_INITIAL_STYLES-->
</head>

<!-- package.json (tested on macOS, the script may need to be adjusted depending on the operating system used) -->
<!-- make sure to adjust the path to the index.html file -->
"scripts": {
  "prestart": "yarn replace",
  "replace": "placeholder='<!--PLACEHOLDER_INITIAL_STYLES-->' && partial=$placeholder$(node -e 'console.log(require(\"@porsche-design-system/components-js/partials\").getInitialStyles())') && regex=$placeholder'.*' && sed -i '' -E -e \"s^$regex^$partial^\" index.html"
  <!-- Alternative: With custom prefix to match your prefixed components -->
  "replace": "placeholder='<!--PLACEHOLDER_INITIAL_STYLES-->' && partial=$placeholder$(node -e 'console.log(require(\"@porsche-design-system/components-js/partials\").getInitialStyles({ prefix: \"custom-prefix\" }))') && regex=$placeholder'.*' && sed -i '' -E -e \"s^$regex^$partial^\" index.html"
  <!-- Alternative: With multiple prefixes to match prefixed components coming from micro frontends -->
  "replace": "placeholder='<!--PLACEHOLDER_INITIAL_STYLES-->' && partial=$placeholder$(node -e 'console.log(require(\"@porsche-design-system/components-js/partials\").getInitialStyles({ prefix: [\"\", \"custom-prefix\", \"another-prefix\"] }))') && regex=$placeholder'.*' && sed -i '' -E -e \"s^$regex^$partial^\" index.html"
}
OutputThe result of this partial looks like this:

In case, micro frontends with custom prefixed Porsche Design System components are used, it's possible to provide proper initial styles to all of them by defining an array of custom prefixes (see example below). By entering document.porscheDesignSystem in the browser console of your application, it's possible to find out which prefixes are used.
Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionChanges the direction of HTML elements, mostly used on<html> tag to support languages which are read from right to left like e.g. Arabic.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)AutoText ZoomChanges the text size and values with unit rem or em relatively. This setting can be defined in browser settings for any website or by an application itself on<html> tag. To achieve WCAG 2.2 AA compliance it's obligatory to support text zoom up to at least 200%.100%130%150%200%
