@zendeskgarden/react-theming
The Theming package includes several utility components relating to theming
and RTL capabilities in the Garden Design System.
Installation
npm install @zendeskgarden/react-theming
npm install react react-dom styled-components
Usage
The ThemeProvider
component can be used to apply granular theming to Garden
(and custom) components. It is intended to be used at the root of an
application to provide a global context for RTL. ThemeProvider
components
can be nested for areas that require additional, custom theming.
Theming
Garden provides several levels of customization, listed here from simple to
complex, depending on your needs:
- Via the
theme
prop passed to ThemeProvider
. Garden gives you access to
many of the font, pixel, and color values used to style individual
components. By modifying the theme
you have the ability to customize whole
aspects of the design system with minimal effort. Example: use theme
to
customize component primary accents with your brand color. - Via the
theme.components
object within the theme
prop. Using
COMPONENT_ID
keys, you can target precise CSS properties for
customization. Example: use theme.components
to override the 20px
bottom margin of tabs.tablist
. - Via Garden's
react-containers
(outside the scope of this component). At some point, the flexibility
provided by theme
and theme.components
has diminishing returns. If you
find yourself fully re-skinning a component, then you should check out
Garden's container abstractions. Example: retain the accessible keyboard
behavior and RTL layout of Garden's tabs component with an alternate visual
design (i.e. closer to the look of browser tabs).
RTL
import { ThemeProvider, DEFAULT_THEME } from '@zendeskgarden/react-theming';
import { Notification } from '@zendeskgarden/react-notifications';
<ThemeProvider theme={{ ...DEFAULT_THEME, rtl: true }}>
<Notification>This notification content will render with RTL layout.</Notification>
</ThemeProvider>;
