Styling custom components

[gotwig]

Hello,

I realy would like to understand the project better, and would love to hear from your feedback.

Can I use this lib to integrate custom material themes for my custom components in my project?
https://material.angular.io/guide/theming-your-components

The problem with the "official" approach is that it breaks the encapsulation, and I think css vars are much easier, so I could just do something like:

@include variables
color: var(PrimaryColor);

Also I think the first sentence is not very clear :D Im not hear to learn about rainbows :O

Feedback? :)

Hello @gotwig! I haven't tried this for myself nor I am very familiar with the official approach of component styling (and I never really saw the appeal to be honest), but in general, what your're asking should be possible. This lib mostly works by patching mat-color. The only thing you need to make sure is that this is done before you use it in your custom components.
