Variants

Theme UI components can be customized by adding styles to your theme. Each component accepts a variant prop to quickly change custom stylistic variations that you define.

{
  // ...base theme...
  // After the base theme, define the variants:
  buttons: {
    secondary: {
      fontWeight: 'bold',
      color: 'white',
      bg: 'primary',
      '&:hover': {
        bg: 'dark',
      },
    },
  },
  text: {
    caps: {
      textTransform: 'uppercase',
      letterSpacing: '.2em',
    },
    heading: {
      fontFamily: 'heading',
      fontWeight: 'heading',
      lineHeight: 'heading',
    },
    display: {
      // extends the text.heading styles
      variant: 'text.heading',
      fontSize: [6, 7, 8],
      fontWeight: 'display',
    },
  },
  cards: {
    primary: {
      padding: 2,
      borderRadius: 4,
      boxShadow: '0 0 4px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)',
    },
  },
}

<Button variant='secondary'>
  Secondary Button
</Button>

Props

All Theme UI components include the following props.

Style Props

Each Theme UI component includes shorthand props for applying margin, padding, and color styles. These props work the same as properties within the sx prop, but allow for a more terse syntax for readability.
