API

Methods	Params	Description
useThemeName	–	returns name of current theme returned from context.getThemeName or value of useColorScheme
useThemeStyle	styleFactory – function returned from `createThemedStyles`	returns styled object with applied theme values
useThemeValue	themePath – path to theme value i.e. `text.primary`	returns value from defined theme by path
createThemedStyles	factoryFunction – function which gets theme as first param and returns style object	returns style factory function which should be provided to `useThemeStyle` hook

Components	Props	Description	Default value
ThemeProvider	`value`	context object containing themes and optional getThemeName function	–
–	`value.themes`	object containing themes definition. Required	{}
–	`value.getThemeName`	optional function returning your own theme name based on values	`useColorScheme` hook from `react-native`

Typescript

To type the theme object you can use the following code:

const themes = {
  light: {
    first: '#fff',
    second: '#000',
  },
  dark: {
    first: '#000',
    second: '#fff',
  },
};

type ThemePaletteType = typeof themes;

declare global {
  namespace ReactNativeSimpleTheme {
    interface ThemePalette extends ThemePaletteType {}
  }
}

It’s recommended to place it inside typings/index.d.ts to work out of the box with TypeScript.

Usage

Basic useThemeStyle usage:

import { createThemedStyles, ThemeProvider, useThemeStyle } from 'react-native-simple-theme';

const themes = {
  light: {
    primary: '#fff',
    secondary: '#000',
  },
  dark: {
    primary: '#000',
    secondary: '#fff',
  },
};

const AppProvider = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (
  <ThemeProvider value={{ themes }}>{children}</ThemeProvider>
);

const TestComponent = () => {
  const style = useThemeStyle(styles);

  return (
    <View style={style.container}>
      <View style={style.box}>
        <Text style={style.text}>Test theme text</Text>
      </View>
    </View>
  );
};

export default function App() {
  return (
    <AppProvider>
      <TestComponent />
    </AppProvider>
  );
}

const styles = createThemedStyles((palette) => ({
  text: {
    color: palette.primary,
    padding: 10,
  },
  box: {
    height: 100,
    width: 100,
    backgroundColor: palette.secondary,
  },
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
}));

useThemeValue / useValueBasedOnTheme usage:

// themes passed to ThemeProvider
const themes = {
  light: { icon: { primary: '#aaa' } },
  dark: { icon: { primary: '#999' } },
};

const Example = () => {
  const iconName = useValueBasedOnTheme({ dark: 'chevron', light: 'close' });
  const iconColor = useThemeValue('icon.primary');

  // iconName and iconColor will change along with theme.
  return <Icon color={iconColor} name={iconName} />;
};

ThemeProvider usage:

const themes = {
  blue: { icon: { primary: '#00f' } },
  red: { icon: { primary: '#f00' } },
};

const Example = () => {
  const getThemeName = useCallback(() => {
    const currentAppTheme = getAppTheme(); // returns 'blue' or 'red'
    return currentAppTheme;
  }, [getAppTheme]);

  return (
    <ThemeProvider value={{ themes, getThemeName }}>
      <ExampleComponent />
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
};
