## Overview

The `ngStyle` directive allows you to set CSS style on an HTML element conditionally.

## Known Issues

You should not use interpolation in the value of the `style` attribute, when using the `ngStyle` directive on the same element. See here for more info.

## Directive Info

- This directive executes at priority level 0.

## Usage

- as attribute:

      <ANY
        ng-style="expression">
      ...
      </ANY>

- as CSS class:

      <ANY class="ng-style: expression;"> ... </ANY>

### Arguments

Param | Type | Details
--- | --- | ---
ngStyle | expression | Expression which evals to an object whose keys are CSS style names and values are corresponding values for those CSS keys. Since some CSS style names are not valid keys for an object, they must be quoted. See the 'background-color' style in the example below.

## Example

    <input type="button" value="set color" ng-click="myStyle={color:'red'}">
    <input type="button" value="set background" ng-click="myStyle={'background-color':'blue'}">
    <input type="button" value="clear" ng-click="myStyle={}">
    <br/>
    <span ng-style="myStyle">Sample Text</span>
    <pre>myStyle={{myStyle}}</pre>

    span {
      color: black;
    }

    var colorSpan = element(by.css('span'));

    it('should check ng-style', function() {
      expect(colorSpan.getCssValue('color')).toBe('rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)');
      element(by.css('input[value=\'set color\']')).click();
      expect(colorSpan.getCssValue('color')).toBe('rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)');
      element(by.css('input[value=clear]')).click();
      expect(colorSpan.getCssValue('color')).toBe('rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)');
    });
