      useThemeMode,
      useLocalStorage,
      ThemeMode,
      ColorMode,
    } from '@blockchain/constellation'
   
    function App(): JSX.Element {
      const [themeMode] = useLocalStorage<ThemeMode>("themeMode", 'light')
   
      const theme = useThemeMode(themeMode);
   
      return (
        <Store>
          <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
              <Router>
                  ...
              </Router>
          </ThemeProvider>
        <Store />
      )
    }
   

4. That's it, happy hacking!

Local Hacking Guide

If you would like to develop this library while consuming it via another application, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Requires Yarn 2 (Berry) and Webpack 5. It may be possible to use in other setups, but they remain untested.**
• Ensure the Webpack 5 config has symlinks: false in the resolve config.

Steps

1. From Constellation repo, run yarn workspace @blockchain-com/constellation build to compile Constellation.

2. In the app you would like to symlink the repo to, change the dependency install in package.json

   "@blockchain-com/constellation": "portal:../constellation/packages/constellation", // relative path may be different!
   

3. In consuming app, run yarn install

4. You can now make changes to Constellation components and use them directly in the consuming app!

NOTE: For now you will have to manually rebuild (rerun step 1) after every change to a Constellation component.
