const styles = Stylesheet.create({
	container: {
		backgroundColor: "#81D4FA",
		color: "#263238",

	},
});
export default styles;

import React, { useState } from "react";
import styles from "./styles";

const MyComponent = () => {
	const [theme, setTheme] = useState("light");
	return (
		<div style={styles.container}>
			<div>
				<button
					style={styles.button}
					onClick={() => {
						alert("clicked");
					}}
				>
					Styled button
				</button>
				<div style={styles.textDiv}>
					Styled with <br /> reactjs-stylesheet!
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	);
};

export default MyComponent;

Theme handling

Basic usage inside a component

import React, { useState } from "react";
import Stylesheet from "reactjs-stylesheet";
const themes: {
	[themeName: string]: {
		[key: string]: string,
	},
} = {
	light: {
		primary: "#E3F2FD",
		secondary: "#64B5F6",
	},
	dark: {
		primary: "#ECEFF1",
		secondary: "#90A4AE",
	},
};
const MyComponent = () => {
	const [theme, setTheme] = useState("light");
	const styles = Stylesheet.createWithTheme(themes[theme], (colors) => {
		return {
			container: {
				backgroundColor: colors.background,
				color: colors.textColor,
			},
			button: {
				backgroundColor: colors.touchable,
			},
			text: {
				backgroundColor: colors.secondary,
				color: colors.textColor,
			},
		};
	});
	return <div style={styles.container}>myComponent</div>;
};

Advanced usage in a separate style module

In styles.ts or styles.js:

import Stylesheet from "reactjs-stylesheet";
import { Colors } from "reactjs-stylesheet/lib/types";
const getStyles = (colors: Colors) => {
	//return the styles you want to use
	return Stylesheet.createWithTheme(colors, (colors) => {
		return {
			container: {
				backgroundColor: colors.background,
				color: colors.textColor,
			},
			button: {
				backgroundColor: colors.touchable,
			},
			text: {
				backgroundColor: colors.secondary,
				color: colors.textColor,
			},
		};
	});
};
export default getStyles;

In index.ts, or index.js:

//in index.ts (or .js)
import React, { useState } from "react";
import getStyles from "./styles";
const themes: {
	[themeName: string]: {
		[key: string]: string,
	},
} = {
	light: {
		primary: "#E3F2FD",
		secondary: "#64B5F6",
	},
	dark: {
		primary: "#ECEFF1",
		secondary: "#90A4AE",
	},
};
const MyComponent = () => {
