KB0043 - Configure CSS based on user or page

Problem

As of version 4.0.x, PowerShell Universal only supports specifying CSS on the New-UDApp cmdlet via the -Stylesheet parameter. This parameter is global for the entire app and does not change based on user or page. 

Solution

Include with PowerShell Universal v4, you can use the New-UDHelmet cmdlet to add arbitrary header elements to the HTML page. This means that you can add logic within your page to determine which CSS file to load. 

Below is an example of using the cmdlet to add a stylesheet link to a CSS file. 
  1. New-UDHelmet -Tag link -Attributes @{
  2.     rel = 'stylesheet'
  3.     href = ' https://.../stylesheet.css '
  4. }
Here is an example of only applying a stylesheet if the user is an administrator. 
  1. Protect-UDSection -Role 'Administrator' -Content {
  2.     New-UDHelmet -Tag link -Attributes @{
  3.          rel = 'stylesheet'
  4.          href = ' https://.../stylesheet.css '
  5.     }
  6. }
