Hello! I would like to import a specific CSS file depending on a slug's value.
I was wondering if there is a way to do this from a server component?
Current client code looks like this:

useEffect(() => 
  {
    const cssHref = `/colors/${/* SLUG */}.css`;
    const link = document.createElement('link');
    link.rel = 'stylesheet';
    link.href = cssHref;

    link.onload = () => setCssLoaded(true);
    link.onerror = () => setCssLoaded(true);

    document.head.appendChild(link);

    return () => 
    {
      document.head.removeChild(link);
    };
  }, []);

Found out <link> elements can be used in the body to reference stylesheets, but MDN recommends against it.

then i dont know, sorry

#

if i were you i would be content with it showing up in <body>, at least that would still load faster than anything you put in useEffect

well, I think I'll just keep it in body since it doesn't seem to pose any problem
