@nuclearplayer/themes

Theme engine utilities for Nuclear. Tailwind v4 consumes CSS custom properties from @nuclearplayer/tailwind-config/global.css. All runtime theming is done by swapping CSS variables; no tokens are duplicated in TS.

• Basic themes are CSS files that override four variables via data-theme-id on :root.
• Advanced themes are JSON files parsed at runtime and injected as a single <style id="advanced-theme">.
• Dark mode is controlled exclusively by [data-theme='dark'].

Public API

• listBasicThemes() → built-in themes metadata
• setBasicTheme(id) → sets data-theme-id on documentElement
• applyAdvancedTheme(theme) → validates and injects CSS for vars/dark
• clearAdvancedTheme() → removes the injected style tag

Built-in basic theme IDs are namespaced with nuclear: to avoid collisions.

Advanced theme JSON (v1)

{
  "version": 1,
  "name": "My Theme",
  "vars": { "background": "oklch(...)" },
  "dark": { "background": "oklch(...)" }
}

Keys correspond to CSS var names without the leading --.

Testing

Snapshot tests assert the generated CSS is stable. This package avoids any non-CSS source of truth for theme values.
