I am aware font size can be changed by modifying its value from "textviewContainer" CSS class. What I am interested in is changing font-size dynamically from JavaScript.

Is there any method for that?

Hi Joe,

The short answer is that you can use JavaScript, although there is no API specific for setting the font at the moment. A JavaScript call would modify the style sheet and alter the settings for that class.

If you check the settings page, you can use a user interface to change the size and color of the font. The programming behind that is in textStylerOptions.js

[ org.eclipse.orion.client >> bundles >> org.eclipse.orion.client.editor >> web >> examples >> textview >> textStylerOptions.js ]

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is my snippet for those who may need change each setting separately.

var setSetting = (function(){
    var indexArray = [];
    var styleSheet = function (path) {
        for(var i = 0; i < doc.styleSheets.length; i++) {
            var sheet = doc.styleSheets[i];
            if(path.test(sheet.href)) 
                return sheet;
        }
        return null;
    }(/textview\.css/);
    if (!styleSheet) return false;

    const css = ".textviewContainer{%s}";
    return function(type, value) {
        if (indexArray[type])
            styleSheet.deleteRule(indexArray[type]);
        else
            indexArray[type] = styleSheet.cssRules.length;
            
        styleSheet.insertRule(css.replace("%s",  type + ": " + value + " !important"), indexArray[type]);
        textView.update(true);
        
        return true;
    }
})();

setSetting("font-family", "monospace");
setSetting("background-color", "white");
setSetting("font-size", "12pt");


"doc" and "textView" must be set before execution.

P.S:
The code has been just tested in Firefox browser.
