Theme resources

A theme is a style that's applied to your entire app, activity or view hierarchy rather than an individual view. By default, Sendbird UIKit for React provides two themes: Light and Dark. Customized themes that fit your brand identity can also be created by changing the style and color set.

import App from "@sendbird/uikit-react/App";
import "@sendbird/uikit-react/dist/index.css";

const MyApp = () => {
    return (
        <Route id={'/chat'}>
            <App userId={userId} appId={appId} theme="dark" />
        </Route>
    );
};
