I want to creare a template theme in React for my software suite and allow developers to customize the theme for each software they develop.
The theme will be shipped in a library using styled components
Here is an example of the code:
import styled from 'styled-components'
const ButtonStyled = styled.button`
font-size: 1.5em;
text-align: center;
color: green;
`;
const TomatoButton = styled(ButtonStyled)`
color: tomato;
`;
//This is the default template
const DefaultTemplate = () => {
return <div>
<ButtonStyled className='button'>Button</ButtonStyled>
<TomatoButton className='tomato-button'>Button II</TomatoButton>
</div>
}
//This is the template styled by developers
const DefaultTemplateStyled = styled(DefaultTemplate)`
color: white;
&.button{
color: violet
}
&.tomato-button{
color: black;
}
`;
function App() {
return (<DefaultTemplateStyled />);
}
export default App;
In this app I cannot see the override of the styles, am I missing something?
In styled-components what you should do is pass the className
propm like this:
//This is the default template
const DefaultTemplate = ({ className }) => {
return (
<div>
<ButtonStyled className={`button ${className}`}>Button</ButtonStyled>
<TomatoButton className={`tomato-button ${className}`}>
Button II
</TomatoButton>
</div>
);
};
All the other code is fine
