A service that allows the user to preview and select a bootstrap theme which can then be pulled to other services via an api to allow a continuous, user customised experience across various CSH services.

Themeswitcher uses node and express to serve the static site and preform api routing, OIDC for authentication, AngularJS for a responsive frontend, and bootstrap for styling.

https://themeswitcher.csh.rit.edu/api/get Redirects to the currently logged in member's theme.

https://themeswitcher.csh.rit.edu/api/colour Returns the theme's primary colour, e.g. #ffffff

Implement as:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://themeswitcher.csh.rit.edu/api/get" media="screen">

Themes are stored in /pub/data/themes.json in the style of

  {
    "name": "Material",
    "shortName": "csh-material-bootstrap",
    "cdn": "https://s3.csh.rit.edu/csh-material-bootstrap/4.0.0/dist/csh-material-bootstrap.min.css",
    "colour": "b0197e"
  },

If you'd like to add a theme, add it to themes.json in the same pattern, detailed below.

• name: The string to display in the selector. This is how your theme is identified to users.
• shortName: A string to identify your theme to the api. Cannot include spaces.
• cdn: The url to the minified stylesheet.
• colour: The primary colour of the theme.

All themes should be bootstrap ~>4.1.2
