pinkhide27/webpack-theme-color-replacer

A runtime dynamic theme color replacement plugin for webpack.

This plugin can extract theme color styles from all the outputed css files (such as element-ui theme colors), and make a 'theme-colors.css' file which only contains color styles. At runtime in your web page, the client part will help you to download this css file, and then replace the colors into new customized colors dynamicly.

This is a sample: https://hzsrc-vue-webpack4-elementui.netlify.com/themeColor.html

Implementation (Chinese): https://segmentfault.com/a/1190000016061608

1.Install

npm i -D webpack-theme-color-replacer

const ThemeColorReplacer = require('webpack-theme-color-replacer')

module.exports = {

        new ThemeColorReplacer({
            fileName: 'css/theme-colors-[contenthash:8].css', // output css file name, suport [contenthash] and [hash].
            matchColors: ['#ed4040', '#4b0'], // colors array for extracting css file
            resolveCss(resultCss) { // optional. Resolve result css code as you wish.
                return resultCss.replace(/#4b0/g, '#ed4040')
            },
            externalCssFiles: ['./node_modules/element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css'], // optional, String or string array. Set external css files (such as cdn css) to extract colors.
            changeSelector(cssSelector) { // optional, Funciton. Changing css selectors, in order to raise css priority, to resolve lazy-loading problems.
                return cssSelector
            },
            isJsUgly: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development', // optional. Set to `true` if your js is uglified. Default is set by process.env.NODE_ENV.

import replacer from 'webpack-theme-color-replacer/client'

// change theme colors at runtime.
export function changeColor(newColor) {
  var options = {
    newColors: [newColor, newColor], // new colors array, one-to-one corresponde with `matchColors`
    // changeUrl(cssUrl) {
    //   return `/${cssUrl}`; // while router is not `hash` mode, it needs absolute path
    // },
  }

  replacer.changer.changeColor(options, Promise).then(() => {
