Theme

Koval UI supports theming colors, sizes and fonts via Provider component theme prop.

import type {FC} from 'react';
import {Provider} from 'koval-ui';
import {theme} from './theme';
 
export const App: FC = () => {
    return <Provider theme={theme}>{/*App code*/}</Provider>;
};

Available themes

Hello

Koval ships with two themes bundled: Podil (left) and Dnipro (right).

import type {FC} from 'react';
import {Provider, themeDnipro, themePodil} from 'koval-ui';
 
export const App: FC = () => {
    // Theme Podil is set by default.
    return <Provider theme={themeDnipro}>{/*App code*/}</Provider>;
};

Koval theme is Record containing various design tokens as key/value pairs. They are set via theme property of Koval Provider component. Library contains ThemeType export to help user validate their theme.

import type {FC} from 'react';
import type {ThemeType} from 'koval-ui';
import {Provider} from 'koval-ui';
 
export const theme: ThemeType = {

    return <Provider theme={theme}>{/*App code*/}</Provider>;
};

    /* NB! --kg (Koval Global) prefix is added and kebab-case used instead of camelCase */
    color: var(--kg-color-do);
}

Brand colors

Koval uses 6 brand colors. 3 main and 3 alternative. Music note names are used to distinguish them.

export const theme: ThemeType = {
    /**
     * First brand color. It is most visible in the theme.
     * Has to make a good contrast with background000 and background600
     */
    colorDo: '#e3a075',
    /**
     * Second brand color. Darkest one. Has to make a good contrast with background000 and colorDo
     */
    colorRe: '#61483a',
    /**
     * Third brand color. Lightest one. Has to make a good contrast with background600 and colorDo
     */
    colorMi: '#ffdea6',
    /**
     * First alternative brand color. Used when needed to create an accented contrast with colorDo.
     * Has to make a good contrast with background000 and background600
     */
    colorFa: '20b2aa',
    /**
     * Second alternative brand color. Darkest one.
