Quick Start

import { ThemeProvider, useTheme } from "theme-package";

const themes = {
  light: {
    name: "light",
    variables: {
      "--bg-color": "#ffffff",
      "--text-color": "#000000",
    },
  },
  dark: {
    name: "dark",
    variables: {
      "--bg-color": "#000000",
      "--text-color": "#ffffff",
    },
  },
};

// Wrap your app with ThemeProvider
function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider themes={themes} initialTheme="light">
      <YourApp />
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

// Use the theme in any component
function ThemeSwitcher() {
  const { currentTheme, setTheme } = useTheme();

  return (
    <button
      onClick={() => setTheme(currentTheme === "light" ? "dark" : "light")}
    >
      Toggle Theme
    </button>
  );
}

Adding Custom Themes

import { Theme, useTheme } from "theme-package";

const customTheme: Theme = {
  name: "custom",
  variables: {
    "--bg-color": "#f0f0f0",
    "--text-color": "#333333",
    "--primary-color": "#0066cc",
    // ... add more CSS variables
  },
};

function ThemeManager() {
  const { addTheme, setTheme } = useTheme();

  const handleAddTheme = () => {
    addTheme(customTheme); // Add the theme
    setTheme("custom"); // Apply it immediately
  };

  return <button onClick={handleAddTheme}>Use Custom Theme</button>;
}

Theme Persistence

Themes are automatically persisted in localStorage. The ThemeProvider will:

1. Check localStorage for a saved theme on initialization
2. Fall back to initialTheme if no theme is saved or found
3. Automatically save theme changes
4. Handle missing or incorrect stored themes appropriately
