I've encountered problem with adding any stylesheets to prestashop front office. I was reading multiple articles, tried multiple solutions and I can't get it to work. Adding styles to back office was not a problem (but that this code for adding styles to back office is workaround I think). Here is the module code. (I've added stylesheet import in multiple places to check every solution. In other modules this methods works as intended). Sorry for messy code I'm not that good in PHP.

Okay so I've managed to successfully register the stylesheet in the prestashop 1.7.6.1. But I think this is a good time to mention some of my mistakes and address some of the problems.
Checklist of registering a stylesheet in front office
__construct() registered a official hook for registering stylesheets (prestashop 1.7.x). The correct hook is: $this->registerHook('actionFrontControllerSetMedia'); you can find official docs here (If you don't have front controller in your module): https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/themes/getting-started/asset-management/#without-a-front-controller-module$params (I don't know why but it doesn't work without a function parameter defined... This also stopped me from successfull register). The proper function should look like this: $this->context->controller->registerStylesheet(
'stylesheet-id', //This id has to be unique
'modules/'.$this->name.'/views/css/front.css',
array('server' => 'local', 'priority' => 10)
);
}
$this->context->controller->addCSS still exists, but this function is useful only for back office stylesheet register. Even the official docs are saying about it Backward compatibility is kept for the addJS(), addCSS(), addJqueryUI() and addJqueryPlugin() methods.
That's pretty much everything about this question. I hope it will help someone in the future who is searching for answer.
