Migrate all website pages to use CSS theme variables #34880

We need your help!

Help us migrate the website to start using CSS theme variables!

Progress

If you are interested to contribute, check out the How-to and add your name at the end of the bullet to let us know that you are working on it.

Once you have done the migration, open a PR with the title [website] Migrate xxx page to use CSS theme variables

where "xxx" is the page that you pick.

How-to

go to the page (in docs/pages/ folder) that you want to work on. Let's take docs/pages/templates.tsx as an example.
Replace BrandingProvider with BrandingCssVarsProvider
```
-import BrandingProvider from 'docs/src/BrandingProvider';
+import BrandingCssVarsProvider from 'docs/src/BrandingCssVarsProvider';

-<BrandingProvider>
+<BrandingCssVarsProvider>
```
Start the development server via yarn docs:dev and goto /templates/, you are likely to encounter Warning: Prop "className" did not match. Server: or something similar. This is because some components in the page is relying on the runtime calculation to change the styles based on the color mode. Those conditions must be fixed as explained in the next step!
Look at each component imported on the page, e.g. TemplateHero.tsx, and find the conditional expression like this:
```
<Typography
  ...
  color={(theme) => (theme.palette.mode === 'dark' ? 'primary.400' : 'primary.600')}
>
```
Then, replace the condition with theme.applyDarkStyles():
```
-color={(theme) => (theme.palette.mode === 'dark' ? 'primary.400' : 'primary.600')}
+sx={theme => ({
+  color: 'primary.600',
+  ...theme.applyDarkStyles({
+    color: 'primary.400',
+  }),
+})}
```
- Check out migration scenarios to see other patterns. If you encounter a scenario that is not in the migration patterns, feel free to open a PR and ask for help.
- Read the implementation details about the theme.applyDarkStyles.
Refresh the page, you should not see a warning coming from the TemplateHero.tsx (you might still see the warning but coming from other components on the page).
Once you have fixed all the components, open a PR with the title [website] Migrate xxx page to use CSS theme variables and tag @siriwatknp as a reviewer.

Migration patterns

Here are some use cases that you might encounter in the migration process.

1. Conditional expression in the prop that's not `sx`

Example code:

<Typography color={theme => theme.palette.mode === 'dark' : 'grey.200' : 'grey.700'}>

Migrated code: Move the logic to sx prop:

<Typography
  sx={theme => ({
    color: 'grey.700',
    ...theme.applyDarkStyles({
       color: 'grey.200',
    })
  }))
>

2. Usage from `theme.palette.*`

Example code:

<Typography color={theme => theme.palette.mode === 'dark' : theme.palette.grey[200] : theme.palette.grey[700]}>

Migrated code: attach (theme.vars || theme).*:

<Typography
  sx={theme => ({
    color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.grey[700],
    ...theme.applyDarkStyles({
       color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.grey[200],
    })
  }))
>

3. Conditional expression in `sx` prop

Example code:

<Typography
  sx={{
    color: theme => theme.palette.mode === 'dark' : 'grey.200' : 'grey.700',
    bgcolor: theme => theme.palette.mode === 'dark' : 'grey.500' : 'grey.600',
  }}
>

Migrated code: Remove the condition and group into dark styles:

<Typography
  sx={theme => ({
    color: 'grey.700',
    bgcolor: 'grey.600',
    // `theme.applyDarkStyles()` must come later
    ...theme.applyDarkStyles({
      color: 'grey.200',
      bgcolor: 'grey.500',
    })
  })}
>

4. Conditional expression in `sx` prop (with nested selectors)

Example code:

const Example = styled('a')(({ theme }) => ({
  color: theme.palette.primary[700],
  '&::before': {
    width: 2,
    height: 2,
    backgroundColor: theme.palette.mode === 'dark' ? theme.palette.primary[600] : theme.palette.background.paper,
  },
  '& > span': {
    color theme.palette.mode === 'dark' ? theme.palette.primary[400] : theme.palette.primary[500],
  },
}))

Migrated code: use array:

const Example = styled('a')(
({ theme }) => ([{
  color: theme.palette.primary[700],
  '&::before': {
    width: 2,
    height: 2,
    backgroundColor: (theme.vars || theme).palette.background.paper,
  },
  '& > span': {
    color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.primary[500],
  },
},
theme => theme.applyDarkStyles({
  '&::before': {
    backgroundColor: (theme.vars || theme).palette.primary[600],
  },
  '& > span': {
    color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.primary[400],
  }
})]))

5. `img` switch between color modes

From StoreTemplatesBanner.tsx.

Example code:

const globalTheme = useTheme();
  const mode = globalTheme.palette.mode;
  return (
    <Image
      ref={ref}
      src={`/static/branding/store-templates/template-${mode}${Object.keys(linkMapping).indexOf(brand) + 1}.jpeg`}
      alt=""
      {...props}
    />
  );

Migrated code: use CSS content: url(...):

<Image
  ref={ref}
  src={`/static/branding/store-templates/template-light${Object.keys(linkMapping).indexOf(brand) + 1}.jpeg`}
  alt=""
  sx={(theme) =>
    theme.applyDarkStyles({
      content: `url(/static/branding/store-templates/template-dark${Object.keys(linkMapping).indexOf(brand) + 1}.jpeg)`,
    })
  }
  {...props}
/>

6. Section wrapped with `<ThemeProvider theme={darkTheme}>`

Remove the ThemeProvider and add data-mui-color-scheme="dark" to the next div instead.

Implementation details

We want to migrate the website page by page, so we create a new provider BrandingCssVarsProvider.tsx as a replacement for the existing BrandingProvider. It is built on top of the public CssVarsProvider API specific for mui.com which contains custom theme tokens. Once a page is wrapped with the new provider, the components under it will start using CSS theme variables immediately which causes server-client inconsistency due to conditional expressions like this theme.palette.mode === 'dark' ? theme.palette.grey[300] : theme.palette.grey[700]
The applyDarkStyles() util is added to the theme (this is specific to mui.com, not Material UI) to ease the migration because some components need to be backward compatible for some pages that haven't been migrated. This util is straightforward as the name implies. It will decide the approach to use based on the theme, so you don't have to know if the components are rendered in which provider. All you need to do is put the styles for dark mode to the util after the default styles.
if the component is under the new BrandingCssVarsProvider:
```
theme.applyDarkStyles({
  color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.primary.main,
})

// it returns
:where([data-mui-color-scheme="dark"]) & {
  color: var(--muidocs-palette-primary-main);
}
```
if the component is under the old BrandingProvider:
```
 theme.applyDarkStyles({
   color: (theme.vars || theme).palette.primary.main,
 })
 
 // it returns
 color: #ff0dc;
```
We have added a workaround to make the :where() selector works.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

It looks great. I guess we could also cover the docs pages.

siriwatknp · 2022-10-25T10:07:16Z

It looks great. I guess we could also cover the docs pages.

I think the docs pages should be separated (there are architecture decisions that need to be decided) because they contain nested providers to show the default theme.

oliviertassinari · 2022-10-25T10:36:13Z

I think the docs pages should be separated

@siriwatknp ok 👍.

nested providers to show the default theme.

Regarding the theme providers structure, I would be in favor of simplifying the structure:

_app.js -> Removing the theme provider, it would fix the playground that doesn't show the default look & feel of the components and keep the concerns isolated, e.g. for the full template pages that we host.
docs/pages/* -> have each page provide a Material UI theme, customized for the brand of MUI.
MarkdownDocs.js -> Remove all theme providers
Demo.js -> Remove all theme providers
DemoSandboxed.js -> Provide the Material UI raw theme or Joy UI raw theme depending on the product the demo is for.
