Vue.js How to define (override) css style in a Component? - vue.js

Question

The default style for the p tag on my page has some bottom margin. My component uses p tags, and accordingly, the p tags in my component text show the corresponding bottom margin. How can I override/define new css style for the p tags in my component. I define my component like this:
Vue.component ('activity-component', {
props: {
customer_id:{},
is_admin:{},
isAdmin:{},
isKitsActionplan:{},
....
template:
`<div
class="row msDashboard-box"
style="cursor:default;padding-top:12px;
padding-bottom:12px;"
>
...
<p> ... </p>
});

Answer 1

Maybe u can try this approach,
Pass a variable with the class name to the component
<my-component v-bind:class="variable with class name"></my-component>
Then apply a rule to all p elements inside it, something like this i guess:
.test p{
your styles
}
U can see more here: vue api class and style bindings
I dont know for sure if this was what you wanted, but i gave it a shot :)

You have several options - choose your own adventure:
Use a global utility style
Somewhere globally, define a utility class like:
.u-margin-reset {
margin: 0;
}
Then in your template:
<p class="u-margin-reset">hello</p>
Use scoped CSS
If you are using single file components, you can use scoped css:
<template>
<p class="special-p">hello</p>
</template>
<style scoped>
.special-p {
margin: 0;
}
</style>
Use inline styles
Vue.component('activity-component', {
template: `<p style="margin:0;"></p>`,
});
or
Vue.component('activity-component', {
computed: {
myStyle() {
return {
margin: 0,
};
},
},
template: `<p :style="myStyle"></p>`,
});
As an aside, I'd recommend using a CSS reset that globally resets the margins of all elements to 0. Then each component should set the margins as needed for its child elements/components. This may not be reasonable if you already have a large codebase, however.
