🔏 Keycloak theme generator for Reacts app 🔏
# Motivations
The problem:
When we redirected to Keycloak the user suffers from a harsh context switch.
On je login/register pages the language is set back to default and the theme is different that the one on the app.
Keycloak does offer a way to customize theses pages but it requires a lot of raw HTML/CSS hacking
to reproduce the look and feel of a specific app. Not mentioning the maintenance cost of such an endeavour.
Wouldn't it be great if we could just design the login and register pages as if they where part of our app while
still letting Keycloak handle the heavy lifting of actually authenticating the users?
Here is `yarn add keycloak-react-theming` for you 🍸
TODO: Insert video after.
# How to use
## Setting up the build tool
Add `keycloak-react-theming` to the dev dependencies of your project `npm install --save-dev keycloak-react-theming` or `yarn add --dev keycloak-react-theming`
then configure your `package.json` build's script to build the keycloak's theme by adding `&& build-keycloak-theme`.
Typically you will get:
`package.json`:
```json
"devDependencies": {
"keycloak-react-theming": "^0.0.10"
},
"scripts": {
"build": "react-scripts build && build-keycloak-theme"
},
```
Then build your app with `yarn run build` or `npm run build`, you will be provided with instructions
about how to load the theme into Keycloak.

## Developing your login and register pages in your React app
TODO
# How to implement context persistance
If you want dark mode preference, language and others users preferences your can do so
very easily by using [`powerhooks/useGlobalState`](https://github.com/garronej/powerhooks)
WARNING: `powerhooks` is still a work in progress.
