How to add a single taxonomy term as a body class in Drupal 8 I'd like to add a single taxonomy term into the body tag as a class in drupal 8 - so I page styles can be controlled easily.
I have tried (path and ID as class in body How can I dynamically add URL or taxonomy to body class and https://www.drupal.org/node/2634364) which only get me part way there, taxonomy term would provide a future proofed solution.
i found a solution which worked perfectly for me. Add this in your .theme file and replace mytheme_preprocess_html by your theme name and field_section by name of your taxonomy field.

        if($node-&gt;hasField('field_section')) {
          $tid = $node-&gt;get('field_section')-&gt;target_id;
          if($tid &gt; 0) {
            $term_object = Term::load($tid);
            $variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'terms--' . Html::getClass($term_object-&gt;get('name')-&gt;value);
          }
        }

        /**
         * Get the node id from the node object.

        $nid = $node-&gt;get('nid')-&gt;value;
        if($nid &gt; 0) {
          $variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'page--node-' . $nid;
        }
      }

    }
