Body Class Plugin

Some CSS styles are very often based on the class of the page defined in the body element. Swup replaces the body classes for each loaded page.

Installation

This plugin can be installed with npm

npm install @swup/body-class-plugin

and included with import

import SwupBodyClassPlugin from '@swup/body-class-plugin';

or included from the dist folder

<script src="./dist/SwupBodyClassPlugin.js"></script>

Usage

To run this plugin, include an instance in the swup options.

const swup = new Swup({
  plugins: [new SwupBodyClassPlugin()]
});

Options

In some cases, the site may use the body class attribute for functionality such as opening of some sort of menu by adding class to the body element. In that case, you may want to define a prefix for your page style classes such as page-, so only those are replaced by swup. By default option is set to '' and all classes of body element are replaced during the transition.

const bodyClassPlugin = new SwupBodyClassPlugin({
  prefix: ''
});
