Is it possible to pass a Styled Components Theme as Props to a Material UI element?

After spending 9 hours scouring the internet for a solution, I am at my wit's end as nothing seems to work.

Currently, I am developing a React component using TypeScript.

The issue lies with a simple use of the Material UI Accordion:

const Accordion = withStyles({

root:{
    backgroundColor: 'rgb(193, 195, 191)',
    
},
rounded:{
    '&:last-child':{
    borderBottomLeftRadius:'0px',
    borderBottomRightRadius:'0px',
    },
    '&:first-child':{
        borderTopLeftRadius:'0px',
        borderTopRightRadius:'0px',
        }
}
})(MuiAccordian);

My only goal is to pass in my Styled Components theme to apply it as the root=>backgroundColor value.

I believe someone with expertise can quickly identify the problem - could someone please demonstrate how to pass a theme of type DefaultTheme object as props to the withStyles method?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

EDIT - CODE SOLUTION

Credit goes to @filippofilip for providing helpful links that led me to resolve this issue.

The correct code is:

const Accordion = withStyles(
    {
      root: (props:DefaultTheme) => ({
        backgroundColor: props.colors.backgroundColor,
    }),
      rounded: {
        '&:last-child': {
          borderBottomLeftRadius: '0px',
          borderBottomRightRadius: '0px',
        },
        '&:first-child': {
          borderTopLeftRadius: '0px',
          borderTopRightRadius: '0px',
        },
      },
    },
    { withTheme: true },
  )(MuiAccordian);

You may notice the slight variation in parsing the typed props which are of type DefaultTheme from Styled Components.

To implement this, I used the useContext hook to fetch the Styled Components Theme and pass it to the props:

export default function MyAccordianComponent() {
  
  const themeContext = useContext(ThemeContext);
  const classes = useStyles(themeContext);

  return (
    <div className={classes.root}>
      <Accordion {...themeContext} defaultExpanded >

---finish writing the rest of the component below

I hope this helps anyone else grappling with similar challenges when working with Styled Components, TypeScript, and Material UI

Answer №1

If you're looking for some guidance, I recommend checking out this example in the documentation: https://material-ui.com/styles/basics/#adapting-based-on-props

Typically, the theme is found within the props argument or as a second argument from that function.

UPDATE: After referring to the documentation, it appears that you need to explicitly state that you want the theme inside the props object.

Simply use it like this:

const Accordion = withStyles(
  {
    root: {
      backgroundColor: props => props.theme.backgroundColor,
    },
    rounded: {
      '&:last-child': {
        borderBottomLeftRadius: '0px',
        borderBottomRightRadius: '0px',
      },
      '&:first-child': {
        borderTopLeftRadius: '0px',
        borderTopRightRadius: '0px',
      },
    },
  },
  { withTheme: true },
)(MuiAccordian);
