How can I load a stylesheet dynamically in an Ember route?












0















I'd like to breakup my stylesheet and import smaller chunks on route load.
With the code below I'm able to successfully create the <link> element with the correct attributes. Once the DOM is loaded is appears in the <head> just as I would have expected it as if I loaded in index.html. However, the styles don't load.



beforeModel() {
let link = document.createElement('link');
const rootURL = this.get('router.rootURL');

link.rel = "stylesheet";
link.type = "css";
link.href = `${rootURL}assets/muh_sheet.css">`;

document.head.appendChild(link);
}


It shows up in the <head> tag with the correct src, no console errors. Still doesn't load the styles.

    This is a bad idea. What happens when your stylesheet is slow to load or the js is deffered? I'd imagine any benfits would be marginal at best and the cons will far out weigh the pros. Just load it all in the head.

    This may impress some arbitrary audit but it will make your actual users experience worse, which would you prefer? If you want to improve page load speed I would pretty much guarantee there is a better option to optimise.

    Are you using established technologies like server-side rendering with fastboot already? That should make a real difference for time to first meaningful paint.

    I would suggest using a CDN and cache your CSS for faster load times. web.dev/fast this link would also help you know if anything is missing
