How Elastic Charts theming works

Elastic Charts can be easily themed by creating a JSON object with the same shape of the existing Theme interface. Currently we maintain the following themes:

  • LIGHT_THEME (the default Elastic Chart theme)
  • DARK_THEME (the same theme in dark)

Each of these themes simply include a series of variables that adjust colors, sizing and styles to fit the needs of that theme.

How to create and test a theme

Create a new theme

  1. Copy one theme from src/lib/themes/ directory and tweak it variables.

  2. Pass it to the Setting component:

    <Setting theme={customTheme} />

Extend an existing one

  1. Create a JSON object that respect the PartialTheme interface.

  2. Merge your partial theme with one of the existing one to be sure to create a valid Theme object:

    const customTheme = mergeWithDefaultTheme(partialTheme, existingTheme);

  3. Pass it to the Setting component:

    <Setting theme={customTheme} />
