Desired functionality.

My app uses different languages and some of them are right-to-left. I have two separate css files; one for LTR and the other for RTL.

Based on user input, I'd like to switch between these styles. (By switch I mean, the active one must be removed and the other one should take over).

Currently, for external css to load, I have to mention them in "styles" section of _angular-cli.json. That gives my no control whatsoever on conditionally switching between them.

What I used to do and was working fine until I recently updated, was to include the css directly in index.html and then changing the href attribute using @Inject(DOCUMENT). But as of now, css files inside my src directory are all 404 when the project is built or ng serve.

Is there anything I could do to address this issue?

A file needs to be added to the configuration as an asset (or placed in a directory configured as an asset path) for it to be available to the built project.

Thank you so much, @clydin . Now it is working like before. However, do you think this is the right approach? Are there any other ways to conditionally load css files during runtime?
