Dynamic Loading for Theme Switching

Modern frontend applications increasingly require theme switching functionality. As a next-generation build tool, Vite.js provides efficient dynamic loading mechanisms. The core of dynamic theme switching lies in on-demand loading of style resources, reducing initial load volume while maintaining smooth switching experiences.

Basic Principles of Dynamic Loading

Theme styles typically exist as independent CSS files. The key to dynamic loading involves:

Using link tags to dynamically insert stylesheets
Managing theme resources through modular approaches
Leveraging Vite's build optimization capabilities

// Generic function for dynamically loading CSS
function loadTheme(themeName) {
  const link = document.createElement('link')
  link.rel = 'stylesheet'
  link.href = `/themes/${themeName}.css`
  link.id = 'theme-style'
  
  const existing = document.getElementById('theme-style')
  if (existing) {
    document.head.replaceChild(link, existing)
  } else {
    document.head.appendChild(link)
  }
}

Theme Resource Handling in Vite

Vite's special treatment of static resources makes theme management more efficient:

// vite.config.js
export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      input: {
        main: 'index.html',
        dark: 'src/themes/dark.css',
        light: 'src/themes/light.css'
      }
    }
  }
})

This configuration generates independent CSS files for each theme, facilitating on-demand loading.

Advanced Solution Based on Module Federation

For large-scale applications, consider using Module Federation to achieve cross-application theme sharing:

// remote app (theme provider)
export const themes = {
  dark: () => import('./themes/dark.css'),
  light: () => import('./themes/light.css')
}

// host app (theme consumer)
const theme = await import('theme-app/themes').then(m => m.themes[themeName])
theme()

Performance Optimization for Theme Switching

Dynamic loading requires consideration of performance factors:

Preloading potentially used themes
Caching theme resources with Service Worker
Implementing smooth transition animations

// Preloading themes
function prefetchThemes() {
  const themes = ['dark', 'light', 'high-contrast']
  themes.forEach(theme => {
    const link = document.createElement('link')
    link.rel = 'prefetch'
    link.href = `/themes/${theme}.css`
    document.head.appendChild(link)
  })
}

// Preload on startup
window.addEventListener('load', prefetchThemes)

Integration with State Management

Combine theme state with frontend state management libraries:

// Example using Pinia
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

export const useThemeStore = defineStore('theme', {
  state: () => ({
    current: 'light'
  }),
  actions: {
    async setTheme(name) {
      await loadTheme(name)
      this.current = name
      localStorage.setItem('theme', name)
    }
  }
})

CSS Variable Approach for Dynamic Themes

Combine CSS variables for more flexible theme switching:

/* base.css */
:root {
  --primary-color: #4285f4;
  --bg-color: #ffffff;
  --text-color: #333333;
}

[data-theme="dark"] {
  --primary-color: #8ab4f8;
  --bg-color: #1e1e1e;
  --text-color: #f1f1f1;
}

// Switching function
function toggleTheme() {
  const theme = document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-theme')
  const newTheme = theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark'
  document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', newTheme)
}

Special Handling for Server-Side Rendering

SSR environments require additional considerations:

// Server-side theme handling
export function renderApp(req, res) {
  const userTheme = getUserTheme(req) || 'light'
  const appHtml = renderToString(
    <html data-theme={userTheme}>
      <App />
    </html>
  )
  
  res.send(`
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    ${appHtml}
    <link href="/themes/${userTheme}.css" rel="stylesheet">
  `)
}

Theme Persistence Strategy

Maintain consistency of user-selected themes:

// Comprehensive persistence solution
function initializeTheme() {
  const savedTheme = localStorage.getItem('theme')
  const systemDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches
  const theme = savedTheme || (systemDark ? 'dark' : 'light')
  
  loadTheme(theme)
  document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', theme)
  
  // Listen for system theme changes
  window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)')
    .addEventListener('change', e => {
      if (!localStorage.getItem('theme')) {
        const newTheme = e.matches ? 'dark' : 'light'
        loadTheme(newTheme)
      }
    })
}

Animation Effects for Theme Switching

Add visual transitions to enhance user experience:

.theme-transition * {
  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.2s ease;
}

/* Apply transition class */
function applyThemeWithTransition(theme) {
  document.documentElement.classList.add('theme-transition')
  setTheme(theme)
  setTimeout(() => {
    document.documentElement.classList.remove('theme-transition')
  }, 300)
}

On-Demand Building for Multiple Themes

Use Vite's glob import to automate theme discovery:

// Automatically discover all themes
const themeFiles = import.meta.glob('/src/themes/*.css', { as: 'url' })

async function getAvailableThemes() {
  const themes = []
  for (const path in themeFiles) {
    const themeName = path.match(/\/([^\/]+)\.css$/)[1]
    themes.push(themeName)
  }
  return themes
}

Accessibility Considerations for Theme Switching

Ensure theme switching doesn't affect accessibility:

function setTheme(theme) {
  // Update ARIA attributes
  document.documentElement.setAttribute('aria-theme', theme)
  
  // Special handling for high-contrast themes
  if (theme === 'high-contrast') {
    document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--focus-outline', '3px solid yellow')
  } else {
    document.documentElement.style.removeProperty('--focus-outline')
  }
}

Unit Testing Strategy for Themes

Ensure reliability of theme switching logic:

describe('Theme Switching', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    document.head.innerHTML = ''
    document.documentElement.removeAttribute('data-theme')
  })

  it('should load dark theme', async () => {
    await loadTheme('dark')
    const link = document.getElementById('theme-style')
    expect(link.href).toContain('dark.css')
    expect(document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-theme')).toBe('dark')
  })
})

Version Control for Theme Packages

Manage caching and updates of theme resources:

// Theme loading with versioning
async function loadTheme(themeName) {
  const version = await fetch('/theme-version.json')
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(versions => versions[themeName])
  
  const link = document.createElement('link')
  link.rel = 'stylesheet'
  link.href = `/themes/${themeName}.css?v=${version}`
  // ...remaining logic
}

On-Demand Compilation for Themes

Use Vite plugins to achieve runtime theme compilation:

// vite-plugin-dynamic-theme.js
export default function dynamicTheme() {
  return {
    name: 'dynamic-theme',
    transform(code, id) {
      if (id.endsWith('.theme.js')) {
        const themeName = path.basename(id, '.theme.js')
        return `
          import css from './${themeName}.css?inline'
          export default {
            name: '${themeName}',
            css: css,
            apply() {
              const style = document.createElement('style')
              style.textContent = css
              document.head.appendChild(style)
              return () => style.remove()
            }
          }
        `
      }
    }
  }
}
