Developing a Theme Plugin

A plugin can register any number of themes. To do this simple set the themes property of your plugin class.

class MaterialUIPlugin extends Plugin {

    public themes = [{
        name: 'Material UI (Light)',
        slug: 'material-ui-light',
        mode: 'light',
        
        // .. other theme props
    }, {
        name: 'Material UI (Dark)',
        slug: 'material-ui-dark',
        mode: 'dark',
        
        // .. other theme props
    }]
}

The following guide needs to be added to Themes section.

Each object in the theme property can be a BlueBase Module. This mean each theme's code can be split into different bundles on web.

class MaterialUIPlugin extends Plugin {

    public themes = [
		import('path/to/theme-1'),
		import('path/to/theme-2'),
	]
}

Be aware though, that if you use this approach, these bundles will be downloaded during boot time. This is because BlueBase needs know each theme's name and slug to store them in registry.

If you want to split the theme so that they are downloaded only when selected, spilt the internal theme property.

class MaterialUIPlugin extends Plugin {

    public themes = [{
        name: 'Material UI (Light)',
        slug: 'material-ui-light',
        mode: 'light',
        
        theme: import('./theme-rules-light'),

        // .. other theme props
    }, {
        name: 'Material UI (Dark)',
        slug: 'material-ui-dark',
        mode: 'dark',
        
        theme: import('./theme-rules-dark'),
        
        // .. other theme props
    }]
}
