Currently, I am working on a web application using React.
I have chosen to incorporate the latest version of Material-UI for designing the user interface.
During this process, I came across the demo examples provided by Material-UI (like )
In each demo code snippet, the terms "theme" and "classes" are used extensively, and I am curious to understand their significance in these examples.
The usage of theme and classes is illustrated below:
const styles = theme => ({
root: {
width: '100%',
height: 1300,
marginTop: theme.spacing.unit * 3, <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< example
zIndex: 1,
overflow: 'hidden',
},
.
.
.
render() {
const { classes, theme } = this.props; <<<<<<<<<<<< incorporating classes / theme
const { drawer_location, open } = this.state;
.
.
.
App.propTypes = {
classes: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
theme: PropTypes.object.isRequired, }
I would greatly appreciate if someone could explain how and why they are utilized in real-world applications.
My assumption is that these theme and classes are passed down from the parent component to the current one. If so, why are they being employed in the Material-UI demo codes? (Considering there is only one component).
Where can I find resources to learn more about implementing classes and themes effectively?
Thank you!
