Can i use values of fields in custom module to customize css file out of module?

Hi,

I create my custom modules with fields customizating the inline style of this modules.

But not is good insert inline styles for each customization i will create in my module.

Is possible i use the value of one field in custom module to customization my stylesheet out of the module, so not including CSS sheets and inline CSS to each module?

You can't even add custom module values into the styles section of the custom module itself so I don't think it's possible to add custom modules values into a stylesheet either. Hubl in a stylesheet is rendered and minified once the sheet is published so it wouldn't be able to grab variables from the template.

The best we can do is limit the customization and just create classes in the module based on the options. (Ex: a choice field named bacground_color with 'dark, light, alpha, beta, etc' and in the HTML of the module put :
class="background-{{ module.background_color }}")

@alyssamwilie

Really a great idea !! Use fields to create classes instead of customizing. Thank you!
