I recently encountered patterns like this:

"これを好きなように使ってください" -> "Please use this as you like."

I googled for grammar surrounding よう and of course I found よう+な, but not a
single site listed the above showcased construction. Is this "official"
grammar? Meaning it can be found in official standardworks on japanese
grammar? Or is it at least a (by now) commonly used pattern?

question
grammar
な-adjective + ように
ように in this case means essentially "in the manner of". It forms an adverbial
phrase with whatever it follows. In this case, when you combine it with the
な-adjective 好き, it means "in the manner you like" or, as you say, "as you
like."
