Ignite UI Theming - from Infragistics

The Ignite UI Theming repository collects a set of Sass mixins, functions, and variables used to create themes for a variety of UI frameworks built by Infragistics. The theming package makes it super easy to create palettes, elevations and typography styles for your projects.

Palettes

We provide four predefined palettes - material, bootstrap, fluent and indigo that have all the necessary colors along with diffent variants of those colors to make it even easier picking the right one for your case. Here's what they look like:

To access any of the colors in the palettes, you can use the color function:

1background: color($light-material-palette, 'primary', 500);

You can take a further look on what color functions and mixins the package contains and how to use them in the Colors Wiki Page

Typography

Another valuable module of our theming package is the typography, helping you have consistency all over your project. There are again four typography presets for the four themes that we provide out of the box.

You can set any of the typefaces by using the typography mixin, which accepts 2 arguments(font-family and type-scale). By default the typography is using the material typeface and type-scale.

1@include typography($font-family: $material-typeface, $type-scale: $material-type-scale);

Learn more about the typography module in the package by checking out the Typography Wiki Page

Elevations

The theming package is providing one preset of shadows that can be used to give your components a lift. They're super helpful using with buttons, cards, navigation bars, etc.

You can set elevations 0-24, by using the elevation function, which accepts the elevation level as an argument:

1box-shadow: elevation(12);

Learn more about elevations and their abilities in the Elevations Wiki Page

Usage

In order to use the Ignite UI Theming in your application you should install the igniteui-theming package:

Next, you will need to use it in the file that you want like this:

You can also use just a fraction of the package:

We provide presets for material, bootstrap, fluent and indigo themes for the color(light and dark palettes), typography and elevations fractions. You can import them into your scss file like this:

Preview Palettes

To preview a palette you can pass the palette (material, bootstrap, fluent, indigo) and variant (light or dark) to the palette and variant arguments respectively. If you want to output the result to a file in the ./dist folder add the out option.
