[Javascript][Theming] Allow custom styles for containers

Platform

• JavaScript

Author or host

I’m both, but I think this might apply to the authoring side.

Version of SDK

npm 2.3.0

Details

I wasn’t sure whether to put this as a bug or feature request, have gone for bug.

Container.style is defined as string | undefined, this to me suggests that we could put our own custom styles in and have that custom style represented in the hostconfig on my renderer. The problem is, if it isn’t one of the official styles, the style property appears to be ignored and not included in the json.

On my rendering side, in my host-config file, I have a containerStyle set for my custom theme, and adaptiveCards.allowCustomStyles is set to true, but none of that will matter if the server doesn’t send that custom style when it’s serialized.

So either:

• I’m doing something wrong to enable custom container styles
• It should work as I expected, but isn’t
• The styles for containers should be fixed to a type to remove ambiguity for the dev.

@matthidinger FYI @scottlovegrove I hear you. We’ll discuss internally, but I wouldn’t hold my breath…

This is implemented in the Javascript renderer, but is not on our roadmap to implement on other platforms at the moment.
