Plugin support / Hooks

You can hook into the lifecycle via these;

• hooks
  • prefetch
    • do stuff before we actually start fetching the new theme
    • Passes in a reference to the GtkTheme context that it's running under
  • postfetch
    • mutate the theme if needed before it is returned to the consumer
    • Passed a clone of the theme, must return the new version of the theme or null if you aren't mutating the theme.

Example usage. (console logs each theme change)

import { GtkTheme, GtkData } from '@jakejarrett/gtk-theme';

new GtkTheme({
    events: {
        layoutChange: console.log,
        themeChange: (data: GtkData) => {
            console.log('data changed', data.name);
        }
    },
    hooks: {
        prefetch: [(GtkContext: GtkTheme) => console.log(GtkContext)]
        postfetch: [(theme: GtkData) => console.log(theme)]
    }
});
