I am passing html as innerHtml to my view. Below is my view

if I pass the below code, it is working fine.
this.someHtmlCode = "<div><b>This is my HTML.</b></div>"

Solution 1 - Html
This behavior you're getting is normal. The class added to innerHTML
is ignored because by default the encapsulation is Emulated
. Which means Angular prevents styles from intercepting inside and outside of the component.
You should change the encapsulation to None
in your component.
This way, you'll be able to define classes wherever you want: inside styles
or in a separate .css
, .scss
or .less
style-sheet (it doesn't matter) and Angular will add them to the DOM automatically.
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'example',
styles: ['.demo {background-color: blue}'],
template: '<div [innerHTML]="someHtmlCode"></div>',
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
})
export class Example {
private someHtmlCode = '';
constructor() {
this.someHtmlCode = '<div class="demo"><b>This is my HTML.</b></div>';
}
}

Solution 3 - Html
Instead of an inline style, I put the style in a class.
Not sure if using class
is an option for you or not, but here's a Plunker demo.
HTML:
this.someHtmlCode = '<div class="demo"><b>This is my HTML.</b></div>'
CSS:
.demo{
background-color: blue;
}
