Accessing Component Style using sightly

[toimrank]

Hi All,

I have a business use case where I want to access component style system authored in editable template policy. I looked for an API and nothing similar available.

There is a property same in my content component node with cq:styleId. usiing this style id I want to access my style name authored in component style system as template policy.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @toimrank,

We can write a query to get the style node (configured as policy) with the Id from the component node available under respective page content. 
(Style node in policy will have details of style label, style class and style id - Sample screenshot for reference below)
Sample query:

path=/conf/yourproject/settings/wcm/policies
type=nt:unstructured
1_property=cq:styleId
1_property.1_value=1590089010715
1_property.2_value=1590089575644
p.limit=-1

Where

• path can be refined to specific component policy under main"policies" path based on the need
• property.value predicate to be framed dynamically from the component node available under the desired content path(cq:styleIds - String[])
  For how many ever style Ids you have, frame property.value predicates accordingly.
• Returned query result set will be the highlighted node and hence access to style label and class.

To be implemented in Sling Models or WCMUsePojo and expose the style class via getters for access in sightly.

Thanks for you comments.

Thanks for you comments. I am moreover looking for some OOTB sightly Utility API function to get styles using Style Id.

Hi @toimrank,

I don't think there is a straight forward utility/sightly implicit objects for getting Style Id/CSS name configured via Style System.

Reason being Styles Tab available as part of Policy is part of the design configuration of a component.

In other words, Styles tab has container resource with Coral UI 3 multifield - Like any other dialog field resource that is part of Design dialog of a component.

As a whole, we can get to the policy applied for a specific content resource which is via ContentPolicyManager API as @divanshug96  suggested. 

ContentPolicyManager cntPolicyMgr = rescResolver.adaptTo(ContentPolicyManager.class);
ContentPolicy cntPolicy = cntPolicyMgr.getPolicy(currentResource);
String cntPolicyPath = cntPolicy.getPath(); // This will return the policy path from /conf  

However to get to the style class by this way, need further manipulation as "cq:styleGroups" is child node of policy path.

Hi toimrank 

Please use the following to retrieve policy manager

ContentPolicyManager policyManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(ContentPolicyManager.class);

ValueMap policyProperties = contentPolicy.getProperties();

Thanks. This will be returning the values at policy node. Is there any way to get the styles using "cq:styleId" from ContentPolicyManager ? or there is any other API for it ?
