Welcome to this guide, where we will explore how to dynamically change themes in your Ant Design-based React project. With the Dynamic Antd Theme plugin, you can customize your application’s look and feel effortlessly. Let’s dive in!

Why Use Dynamic Antd Theme?

Ant Design V5 supports dynamic theme changes, making it a great tool for customizing the appearance of your application. The Dynamic Antd Theme plugin simplifies this process, allowing for real-time color adjustments based on user preferences.

Installation

To get started, you need to install the plugin. You can do this by running one of the following commands in your terminal:

• npm install dynamic-antd-theme
• yarn add dynamic-antd-theme

Usage

For optimal results, use the Dynamic Antd Theme component in common layout components like Layout or Header. Below is an example of how to implement it:

import DynamicAntdTheme from 'dynamic-antd-theme';

// Inside your component

    Change antd theme:
    

Understanding the Props

The DynamicAntdTheme component accepts several props to enhance its capabilities:

Props	Type	Default	Description
primaryColor	String	#1890d5	Your antd initial @primary-color
storageName	String	custom-antd-primary-color	Name for localStorage storage.
style	Object	null	Custom styles for the component.
placement	String	bottomRight	Position of the color-picker.
themeChangeCallback	Func	null	Callback on theme color change.
customCss	String	N/A	Define custom CSS effects for elements.

An Analogy to Understand Dynamic Theming

Imagine you own a canvas painting. Each day, you can choose from a palette of colors to create a different mood on that canvas. The DynamicAntdTheme acts much like that palette, allowing you to change the “mood” of your application dynamically. Instead of repainting the entire canvas, you simply swap colors as you desire, ensuring a fresh and appealing design.

Customizing with CSS

You can further enhance your theme by defining custom CSS effects. Here’s how to use the primaryColor variables in custom CSS:

const customCss = `
    .ant-btn {
        font-family: fantasy;
    }
    .custom-title {
        color: $primary-color;
    }
    .custom-title:hover {
        color: $primary-hover-color;
    }
    cursor: pointer;
    #custom-id {
        color: $primary-shadow-color;
    }
`;

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues you may encounter and how to address them:

• Issue: The theme is not changing as expected.
• Solution: Ensure your Ant Design version is lower than v3.19.0. If you are using a higher version, check for issues in the plugin’s repository.
• Issue: Local storage settings are not being applied.
• Solution: Make sure that the storageName prop is correctly configured and that your browser allows local storage.
