🎨 Wind Themes

»Usage

Check out the example in this repo, or read on.

Install the wind-themes package from npm.

npm i -D wind-themes

Check out the sample themes config specified in a json file for a single source of truth, you can use this file for now and update later.

In your tailwind.config.js, add the plugin and pass your theme object.

NOTE: You can store this config in a json file as mentioned above, so you can easily use the themes data anywhere in your app later, especially when using the <ThemeProvider /> in React.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  mode: 'jit',
  // ..
  plugins: [
    require('wind-themes')({
      extend: true, // false by default
      importColors: true, // false by default
      defaultTheme: 'dark-red',
      themes: {
        'dark-red': {
          primary: '#C75A5A',
          secondary: {
            DEFAULT: '#181818',
            100: '#494949',
          },
        },
        'light-purple': {
          primary: '#7D50DC',
          secondary: {
            DEFAULT: '#FFFFFF',
            100: '#EBEBEB',
          },
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
};

Now, you can use these dynamic colors as follows:

<div class="text-primary">wind-themes</div>
<input class="bg-secondary-100" />

Also, if you set importColors to true, you can use every color defined in the config by using it’s theme name, color and shade as follows:

<div class="text-dark-red-primary">wind-themes</div>
<input class="bg-light-purple-secondary-100" />

»Usage in React

Right now, this only supports class based theme support, so you need to add a class to the root of the html tree or wherever you want a specific theme hardcoded.

For React, there is a <ThemeProvider /> included with this package.

You can use it as shown:

import { ThemeProvider } from 'wind-themes/react';

ReactDOM.render(
  <ThemeProvider defaultTheme="dark-red" themes={['dark-red', 'light-purple']}>
    <App />
  </ThemeProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Also, there is a custom useTheme() hook also included which lets you read and update the theme state.

import { useTheme } from 'wind-themes/react';

const ThemeSwitcher = () => {
  const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();

  return (
    <div>
      <div>Current theme: {theme}</div>
      <button onClick={() => setTheme('dark-red')}>Set dark-red</button>
      <button onClick={() => setTheme('light-purple')}>Set light-purple</button>
    </div>
  );
};

»Configuration

In it’s configuration, the object has two switches/flags.

Config	Default	Description
extend	false	Whether to extend the default colors.
importColors	false	Whether to import colors defined in theme as: text-dark-primary-100 to be used directly
defaultTheme		Name of the default theme you want
themes		An object of multiple themes, with each key denoting a theme name with the colors set as the value.

const themeObj = {
  extend: true, // false by default
  importColors: true, // false by default
  defaultTheme: 'dark-red',
  themes: {
    'dark-red': {
      primary: '#C75A5A',
      secondary: {
        DEFAULT: '#181818',
        100: '#494949',
      },
      border: '#555',
    },
    'light-purple': {
      primary: '#7D50DC',
      secondary: {
        DEFAULT: '#FFFFFF',
        100: '#EBEBEB',
      },
    },
  },
};
