# Styles Handler

[The styles handler](https://github.com/deep-web-solutions/wordpress-framework-utilities/blob/master/src/includes/Assets/Handlers/StylesHandler.php) exposes the following public methods:

* `register_public_style` for adding a style to the internal frontend registration queue
* `deregister_public_style` for removing a style from the internal frontend registration queue
* `enqueue_public_style` for adding a style to the internal frontend enqueueing queue
* `dequeue_public_style` for removing a style from the internal frontend enqueueing queue
* `register_admin_style` for adding a style to the internal admin-side registration queue
* `deregister_admin_style` for removing a style from the internal admin-side registration queue
* `enqueue_admin_style` for adding a style to the internal admin-side enqueueing queue
* `dequeue_admin_style` for removing a style from the internal admin-side enqueueing queue
* `add_inline_style` for registering a CSS string to be outputted before or after another enqueued file

The methods follow almost 1-to-1 the WP scripts API, in particular the [`wp_register_style`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_register_style/) function, the [`wp_enqueue_style`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/) function, and the [`wp_add_inline_style`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_add_inline_style/) function.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `register_admin_style` and `enqueue_admin_style` methods accept a specialized argument `$hook_suffixes`. By default it's `null`, but it can be set to an array to conditionally register/enqueue the scripts only when the global variable `$hook_suffix` is set to one of the values.
{% endhint %}

As mentioned on the [Assets Service](/utilities-module/assets-service.md) page, the handler will automatically attempt to register/enqueue the minified version of your script (if it exists in the same folder and has the `.min.css` extension) and will attempt to set the file version to the result of the PHP `filemtime` function.

{% hint style="info" %}
For assets being loaded from an external URL, the `$fallback_version` argument will be used by default instead of trying to call `filmemtime` on the script.
{% endhint %}
