The paint()
CSS function defines an <image>
value generated with a PaintWorklet.
paint(workletName, parameters)
where:
You can pass additional arguments via the CSS paint() function. In this example, we passed two arguments: whether the background-image on a group of list items is filled or just has a stroke outline, and the width of that outline:
li { --boxColor: hsla(55, 90%, 60%, 1.0); background-image: paint(hollowHighlights, stroke, 2px); } li:nth-of-type(3n) { --boxColor: hsla(155, 90%, 60%, 1.0); background-image: paint(hollowHighlights, filled, 3px); } li:nth-of-type(3n+1) { --boxColor: hsla(255, 90%, 60%, 1.0); background-image: paint(hollowHighlights, stroke, 1px); }
We've included a custom property in the selector block defining a boxColor. Custom properties are accessible to the PaintWorklet.
