gatsby-plugin-theme-ui

Gatsby plugin for adding Theme UI context

npm i theme-ui gatsby-plugin-theme-ui

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: ['gatsby-plugin-theme-ui'],
}

In addition to providing context, this plugin will also prevent a flash of unstyled colors when using color modes.

It does not apply default typographic styles in your application. See the Styled.root docs for how to handle base typographic styles.

Customizing the theme

To customize the theme used in your Gatsby site, shadow the src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/index.js module.

// src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/index.js
export default {
  colors: {
    text: '#111',
    background: '#fff',
  },
}

Extending a theme

To extend a Gatsby theme that uses Theme UI, import the base theme and export a new theme object.

// src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/index.js
import baseTheme from 'gatsby-theme-blog/src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui'

export default {
  ...baseTheme,
  colors: {
    ...baseTheme.colors,
    text: '#111',
    background: '#fff',
  },
}

You can also import and use presets from @theme-ui/presets to use as a starting point.

Color Modes

To enable support for multiple color modes, add a nested modes object to theme.colors.

// src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/index.js
export default {
  colors: {
    text: '#000',
    background: '#fff',
    modes: {
      dark: {
        text: '#fff',
        background: '#000',
      },
    },
  },
}

Components

Custom MDX components that will receive styles from the theme can be included by adding a src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/components.js module.

// src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/components.js
export default {
  h1: props => (
    <h1 {...props}>
      <a href={`#${props.id}`}>{props.children}</a>
    </h1>
  ),
}
