@xstyled-theme/cli v2.3.2

@xstyled-theme/cli

This package is a command-line utility that helps you develop, build, deploy and use themes for the @xstyled-theme infrastructure.

A theme is a collection of design assets (fonts, images and icons), optimised for display on the Web, and theme declarations that are used to style compatible component toolkits and to build an @xstyled theme.

@xstyled-theme has been conceived as the infrastructure that allows arbitrary UI toolkits and arbitrary apps to expose an arbitrary theming API, which can then be used by arbitrary theme developers to theme said toolkits and applications. In this project, we always privilege flexibility. @xstyled-theme allows you to build arbitrarily complex color schemes and theme structures, and to theme any component you like with any API you can come up with.

The primary quality of @xstyled-theme is that it allows harnessing all the power and flexiblity of CSS-in-JS theming stacks without forcing designers to learn code. In @xstyled-theme, designers and developers agree on an API that is as simple as declaring a few variables, and designers can then develop and maintain themes in full autonomy.

@xstyled-theme is an ongoing, actively developed project used in production on projects developed by La Javaness. We welcome all inputs and contributions, but at this stage, please consider our API to be subject to drastic changes.
