How to Add Dynamic View ID Classes to Drupal Body Tags

Thijs Boots, a seasoned Drupal developer and co-founder of The Savvy Few has published a concise guide on dynamically adding view IDs as CSS classes to the body tag of Drupal pages rendered by Views. This enhancement simplifies targeted styling and involves leveraging the 'template_preprocess_html()' hook in the custom theme's .theme file. 

Developers can streamline their theming process by retrieving the current route object, extracting the view ID, converting it to a valid CSS class, and appending it to the body tag's class array. This method keeps all customizations within the theme layer, promoting cleaner code management. 

The article underscores the importance of clearing the site's cache post-implementation to ensure changes take effect. Thijs, who has been active in design and technology since the early 90s, continues contributing to the Drupal community through his work at the Amsterdam-based agency and local meetups in Malaysia.
