Dynamic Inline CSS using AngularJS

Question

I have an angular app and need to apply some CSS styles on a page, at runtime.

Solution using ng-style is not scalable:

I am aware that for specific (known) items, this can easily be done using the ng-style directive e.g.:

<div id="mydiv" ng-style="{color: bgColor}">ABCD</div> 

However, this technique cannot be applied to all the <a> or <p> tags on the page. How does one apply a dynamic style based on an angular scope variable to ALL instances of a tag on the page?

Something like the following would be ideal:

<style> .in3_counter {color: {{settings.in3Color}};} .in4_counter {color: {{settings.in4Color}};} </style> 

Update: The value of the css scope variables isn't predetermined, so I we don't know what colors would be applied to the elements as the variables are set at runtime (e.g. with color picker).

Any suggestions?

Check the following example:

var COLOR_CTRL = function($scope, $sce) { $scope.changeColor = function(color) { $scope.style = $sce.trustAsHtml('a, p {color: ' + color + '}'); }; $scope.changeColor('#000'); }; var app = angular.module('app', []); app.controller('ColorCtrl', ['$scope', '$sce', COLOR_CTRL]);
