API

ThemeProvider

Use to set the current theme, or change it at any time, it has the following apis

WithTheme

High order component that allow the component to listen to theme changes, as well as apply theme styles to all its direct children.

Usually you will need it to decorate the React Native View or any container

import { View as RNView } from 'react-native'
import { WithTheme } from 'react-native-themable'

// extend React Native View to support theming
const View = WithTheme(RNView)

Theme

Theme itself is a JS object that maps styles with its name to their values.

You can define style using on of the following:

1. Type name or View or any valid type name

2. Stylename which is added to component as styleName property <View styleName='homeContainer'>

3. Component Index, you can combine tepe or style name with target element index [2] for example with apply style to Text compnent that is in the 3rd index of its parent

4. Parent style name can be used in combination with * to target any child, or you can add index to target specific element in specific index *[2]

Rules

• Type style ex.
• ParentStyle with ex. `parentStyle `
• ParentStyle with Type ex. parentStyle Text
• ParentStyle with Stylename ex. parentStyle stylename
• ParentStyle with and index ex. `parentStyle 2`
• ParentStyle with Type and index ex. parentStyle Text[3]
