Theminator

Enhance your theme objects.

Installation

yarn add theminator

or

npm i theminator

Quick start

1. Import Theminator.

import decorate from 'theminator';

2. Create your theme object.

A theme object needs to have at least a colors key and a dimensions key at the top level. Feel free to nest values as deep as you want, the only requirement is that primitive values need to be parseable as a color value or a dimension value respectively. The rest of the top level keys are ignored and can contain anything.

const theme = {
  colors: {
    button: {
      primary: '#123456',
      secondary: '#654321',
    },
  },
  dimensions: {
    borderWidth: '1px',
    circle: {
      borderRadius: '50%',
    },
  },
  extra: 'I am ignored.',
};

3. Decorate it using Theminator. If you want, you can export it right away.

export default decorate(theme);

4. Profit.

// ...
import theme from '../theme';

const color = theme.colors.button.primary;
const borderWidth = theme.dimensions.borderWidth;

// ...

<button
  className={css`
    background: ${color.css()};
    border-color: ${color.darken(2).css()};
    border-width: ${borderWidth.value * 2}${borderWidth.unit};
  `}
>
  ...
</button>;
