How to dynamically create CSS class in JavaScript and apply?

One liner, attach one or many new cascading rule(s) to the document.

This example attach a cursor:pointer to every button, input, select.

document.body.appendChild(Object.assign(document.createElement("style"), {textContent: "select, button, input {cursor:pointer}"}))

I was looking through some of the answers here, and I couldn't find anything that automatically adds a new stylesheet if there are none, and if not simply modifies an existing one that already contains the style needed, so I made a new function (should work accross all browsers, though not tested, uses addRule and besides that only basic native JavaScript, let me know if it works):

function myCSS(data) {
    var head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
    if(head) {
        if(data && data.constructor == Object) {
            for(var k in data) {
                var selector = k;
                var rules = data[k];

                var allSheets = document.styleSheets;
                var cur = null;

                var indexOfPossibleRule = null,
                    indexOfSheet = null;
                for(var i = 0; i < allSheets.length; i++) {
                    indexOfPossibleRule = findIndexOfObjPropInArray("selectorText",selector,allSheets[i].cssRules);
                    if(indexOfPossibleRule != null) {
                        indexOfSheet = i;
                        break;
                    }
                }

                var ruleToEdit = null;
                if(indexOfSheet != null) {

                    ruleToEdit = allSheets[indexOfSheet].cssRules[indexOfPossibleRule];

                } else {
                    cur = document.createElement("style");
                    cur.type =  "text/css";
                    head.appendChild(cur);
                    cur.sheet.addRule(selector,"");
                    ruleToEdit = cur.sheet.cssRules[0];
                    console.log("NOPE, but here's a new one:", cur);
                }
                applyCustomCSSruleListToExistingCSSruleList(rules, ruleToEdit, (err) => {
                    if(err) {
                        console.log(err);
                    } else {
                        console.log("successfully added ", rules, " to ", ruleToEdit);
                    }
                });
            }
        } else {
            console.log("provide one paramter as an object containing the cssStyles, like: {\"#myID\":{position:\"absolute\"}, \".myClass\":{background:\"red\"}}, etc...");
        }
    } else {
        console.log("run this after the page loads");
    }

};  

then just add these 2 helper functions either inside the above function, or anywhere else:

function applyCustomCSSruleListToExistingCSSruleList(customRuleList, existingRuleList, cb) {
    var err = null;
    console.log("trying to apply ", customRuleList, " to ", existingRuleList);
    if(customRuleList && customRuleList.constructor == Object && existingRuleList && existingRuleList.constructor == CSSStyleRule) {
        for(var k in customRuleList) {
            existingRuleList["style"][k] = customRuleList[k];
        }

    } else {
        err = ("provide first argument as an object containing the selectors for the keys, and the second argument is the CSSRuleList to modify");
    }
    if(cb) {
        cb(err);
    }
}

function findIndexOfObjPropInArray(objPropKey, objPropValue, arr) {
    var index = null;
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        if(arr[i][objPropKey] == objPropValue) {
            index = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    return index;
}

(notice that in both of them I use a for loop instead of .filter, since the CSS style / rule list classes only have a length property, and no .filter method.)

Then to call it:

myCSS({
    "#coby": {
        position:"absolute",
        color:"blue"
    },
    ".myError": {
        padding:"4px",
        background:"salmon"
    }
})

Let me know if it works for your browser or gives an error.

Here is my modular solution:

var final_style = document.createElement('style');
final_style.type = 'text/css';

function addNewStyle(selector, style){
  final_style.innerHTML += selector + '{ ' + style + ' } \n';
};

function submitNewStyle(){
  document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(final_style);

  final_style = document.createElement('style');
  final_style.type = 'text/css';
};

function submitNewStyleWithMedia(mediaSelector){
  final_style.innerHTML = '@media(' + mediaSelector + '){\n' + final_style.innerHTML + '\n};';
    submitNewStyle();
};

You basically anywhere in your code do:
addNewStyle('body', 'color: ' + color1); , where color1 is defined variable.

When you want to "post" the current CSS file you simply do submitNewStyle(),
and then you can still add more CSS later.

If you want to add it with "media queries", you have the option.
After "addingNewStyles" you simply use submitNewStyleWithMedia('min-width: 1280px');.

It was pretty useful for my use-case, as I was changing CSS of public (not mine) website according to current time. I submit one CSS file before using "active" scripts, and the rest afterwards (makes the site look kinda-like it should before accessing elements through querySelector).
