## Features :dizzy:

- Universal - can be used with any styling library
- Switching between themes from addon panel.
- Change a color and see how it affects to your components
- Easily copy-paste paths of nesting theme props into your code
- Auto changes background
- Supports dark Storybook theme
- Keep selected theme on stories updates


## Usage

specify addon in `.storybook/main.js`

```js
// .storybook/main.js

module.exports = {
  stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.js'],
  addons: ['@react-theming/storybook-addon'],
};
```

or in `.storybook/addons.js` for older versions of Storybook

```js
import '@react-theming/storybook-addon/register';

```

Then you'll need to add a decorator with a ThemeProvider of your library. This project is not related to any particular styling solutions, instead, you can use **any of theme providers** you're using in your project.

```js
import ThemeProvider from 'library-of-your-choice';
import { withThemes } from '@react-theming/storybook-addon';
import { theme } from '../src/theme';

// create decorator
const themingDecorator = withThemes(ThemeProvider, [theme]);
```

ThemeProvider should accept a theme via `theme` props. This is usually the case for the most common styling libraries like Styled Components, Emotion, Material-UI.

In case of non standard ThemeProvider you can pass `providerFn` function in options:

```js
const providerFn = ({ theme, children }) => {
  return <ThemeProvider theme={muTheme}>{children}</ThemeProvider>;
};

const themingDecorator = withThemes(null, [theme], { providerFn });
```

## Use your output of the selected value

```js
// .storybook/preview.js

import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components';
import { addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import { withThemes } from '@react-theming/storybook-addon';

import { theme } from '../src/theme';

```

### Example getCustomFieldSnippet

```js
const selectedValue = {
  name: "accent5",
  namespace: ["palette", "colors"],
  type: "color",
  value: "#ac924d"
}


const getCustomFieldSnippet = selectedValue => {
  const { namespace, name } = selectedValue;
  const path = namespace.join('.');
  const fullPath = `${path}.${name}`;
  const themeProp = `\${({ theme }) => theme.${fullPath}}`;
  return themeProp;
};

// The snippet Func function takes the SelectedValue parameter and returns a string
addDecorator(withThemes(ThemeProvider, [theme], { getCustomFieldSnippet }));

```

### Example getCustomValueSnippet

By default, the addon outputs colors in HEX format, if you need some kind of add-in, then pass the colorSnippet parameter.

```js
const getCustomValueSnippet = ({value, name, type}) => {
  // Here is your code
  return value
};

// The colorSnipept function accepts an object consisting of { value : HEX, name: string, type: color}
addDecorator(withThemes(ThemeProvider, [theme], { getCustomValueSnippet }));

```

BACKGROUND COLOR

This addon has ability to auto change background color when it detect a dark theme. By default it checks if the theme name contains 'dark'.

You can customize this behavior by passing `onThemeSwitch` function:

```js
export const onThemeSwitch = context => {
  const { theme } = context;
  const background = theme.name === 'Dark theme' ? '#2c2f33' : 'white';
  const parameters = {
    backgrounds: {
      default: background,
    },
    // Pass backgrounds: null to disable background switching at all
  };
  return {
    parameters,
  };
};

const themingDecorator = withThemes(null, [theme], { onThemeSwitch });
```

This way you can have own checks of what the theme is selected and pass what ever color you need.

!important: The addon change background color on each theme selecting. In some scenarios you might want to disable this behavior e.g. if you already using addon-backgrounds. You can disable background switching by passing `backgrounds: null` in parameters.


Below the use cases for most popular styling libraries:

## Using with Emotion

```js
// .storybook/preview.js

import { ThemeProvider } from '@emotion/react';
import { addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import { withThemes } from '@react-theming/storybook-addon';

import { theme } from '../src/theme';

// pass ThemeProvider and array of your themes to decorator
addDecorator(withThemes(ThemeProvider, [theme]));
```


## 💅 Using with Styled Components

```js
// .storybook/preview.js

import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components';
import { addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import { withThemes } from '@react-theming/storybook-addon';

import { theme } from '../src/theme';

// pass ThemeProvider and array of your themes to decorator
addDecorator(withThemes(ThemeProvider, [theme]));
```


## Using with Material-UI

```js
// theme.js
import { red } from '@material-ui/core/colors';

// A custom theme for this app
const theme = {
  palette: {
    primary: {
      main: '#556cd6',
    },
    secondary: {
      main: '#19857b',
    },
    error: {
      main: red.A400,
    },
    background: {
      default: '#fff',
    },
  },
};

export default theme;
```

```js
// .storybook/preview.js

import { ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core';
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import { addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import { withThemes } from '@react-theming/storybook-addon';

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

const providerFn = ({ theme, children }) => {
  const muTheme = createMuiTheme(theme);
  return <ThemeProvider theme={muTheme}>{children}</ThemeProvider>;
};

// pass ThemeProvider and array of your themes to decorator
addDecorator(withThemes(null, [theme], { providerFn }));
```

```js
// index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import { createMuiTheme } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import App from './App';
import theme from './theme';

ReactDOM.render(
  <ThemeProvider theme={createMuiTheme(theme)}>
    <App />
  </ThemeProvider>,
  document.querySelector('#root'),
);

```
