@chilly-king-10285 How can I change the styling of the Ory Elements?
c
A message from kapa.ai
To change the styling of Ory Elements, you need to build a custom user interface (UI). Ory provides a set of tools and protocols that allow you to easily implement custom UIs for browser and native applications. Ory Elements is a component library designed to make building login, registration, and account pages for Ory straightforward. It is modular and customizable, which means that you can use only the views you need and style them to match your implementation's design. To start building a custom UI, you can use the provided Ory examples and tooling. This will shorten the time to market and allow you to focus on your application's business logic. The Ory Elements component library is a great way to get started with your own UI as it provides a set of drop-in components that automatically map Ory provided flow data to the UI. The UI created with Ory Elements changes dynamically to adapt to your Ory Network configuration. For example, the sign-up form changes after you edit the Identity Schema without the need for any additional action. The same is true for other options available in Ory Network, such as social sign-in connections or passwordless login. You can find examples of integrating Ory Elements with React, Preact, and Next.js TypeScript single-page applications (SPA) in the [Ory Elements repository](https://github.com/ory/elements/). Before you start, make sure to create an [Ory Network project](https://console.ory.sh/) and [install Ory CLI](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/installation), a tool that will help you connect the app running on your machine to Ory Network APIs. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-overview).

@chilly-king-10285 Yes, I have a UI using Ory elements. I now want to change the font and styling. How do I do that?

A message from kapa.ai
To change the font and styling of your UI using Ory Elements, you can use the
ThemeProvider
component. This component allows you to pass a
Theme
object to the
themeOverrides
property, which you can use to customize the look and feel of your application. Here's an example of how you might use it:
Copy code
jsx import { ThemeProvider } from '@ory/elements'  const themeOverrides = {   typography: {     fontFamily: '"Your Font", sans-serif',   },   // other theme properties... }  function App() {   return (     <ThemeProvider themeOverrides={themeOverrides}>       {/* Your application code */}     </ThemeProvider>   ) }
In this example,
Your Font
should be replaced with the name of the font you want to use. You can add other theme properties to the
themeOverrides
object to further customize the styling of your application. Please note that the actual code might differ based on your application setup and the specific version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#closer-look-at-the-code).

@chilly-king-10285 How can I change specific elements. Where is the css?
c
A message from kapa.ai
Ory Elements is a component library built with React, Preact, and Next.js. It doesn't use traditional CSS files for styling. Instead, it uses JavaScript objects to define styles, which is a common pattern in modern JavaScript frameworks. To customize the styles of specific elements, you would typically define a JavaScript object with the desired styles and apply them to the components. This is often done inline or through a styles object that is imported into the component file. Here's an example of how you might do this:
Copy code
jsx const myStyles = {   color: 'blue',   fontSize: '16px' };  <MyComponent style={myStyles} />
In this example,
MyComponent
would be the component you want to style, and
myStyles
is the object containing the styles. However, the exact method of customizing styles can vary depending on the specific setup of your project and the version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#closer-look-at-the-code).

@chilly-king-10285 Can you give my an example of styling a UserAuthCard in this way?
c
A message from kapa.ai
I'm sorry for any confusion, but the provided knowledge sources do not include specific information or examples on how to style a
UserAuthCard
component in Ory Elements. However, in general, you can apply styles to a React component by passing a
style
prop to it, like this:
Copy code
jsx const myStyles = {   color: 'blue',   fontSize: '16px' };  <UserAuthCard style={myStyles} />
In this example,
UserAuthCard
would be the component you want to style, and
myStyles
is the object containing the styles. Please note that the actual code might differ based on your application setup and the specific version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes.

@chilly-king-10285 this does not work on ory elements. Can I change the class to change the styling?
c
A message from kapa.ai
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Ory Elements uses a CSS-in-JS solution for styling, which means that styles are typically applied directly to components via JavaScript objects, not through traditional CSS classes. However, if you need to apply styles via CSS classes, you might be able to do so by wrapping Ory Elements components in your own components and applying classes to those. Here's a basic example:
Copy code
jsx import './MyStyles.css';  function MyUserAuthCard() {   return (     <div className="myUserAuthCard">       <UserAuthCard />     </div>   ); }
In this example,
MyStyles.css
is a CSS file where you define your styles, and
myUserAuthCard
is a CSS class defined in that file.
MyUserAuthCard
is a new component that wraps the
UserAuthCard
component from Ory Elements. Please note that this is a general approach and might not work in all cases, depending on the specific setup of your project and the version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#closer-look-at-the-code).

@chilly-king-10285 How do I use the className field in Ory Elements?
c
A message from kapa.ai
I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not include specific information or examples on how to use the
className
field in Ory Elements. In general, in React, you can apply a CSS class to a component by passing a
className
prop to it, like this:
Copy code
jsx <MyComponent className="myClass" />
In this example,
MyComponent
would be the component you want to style, and
myClass
is the CSS class you want to apply. However, the exact method of using the
className
field can vary depending on the specific setup of your project and the version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes.

@chilly-king-10285 can i disable theming in ory elements?
c
A message from kapa.ai
The provided knowledge sources do not include specific information on how to disable theming in Ory Elements. However, Ory Elements uses a theming system to provide a consistent look and feel across all components. If you don't want to use the default theme, you can override it by providing your own theme to the
ThemeProvider
component. Here's an example of how you might do this:
Copy code
jsx import { ThemeProvider } from '@ory/elements'  const myTheme = {   // your theme properties... }  function App() {   return (     <ThemeProvider theme={myTheme}>       {/* Your application code */}     </ThemeProvider>   ) }
In this example,
myTheme
is an object that defines your custom theme. You can leave it empty if you don't want to apply any styles. Please note that the actual code might differ based on your application setup and the specific version of Ory Elements you are using. Always refer to the official Ory Elements documentation and your application's codebase when making changes.
