What feature would you like to see?

I need to add multiple classes like this:

setTheme(["dark","blueSchema"]) // <html class="dark blueSchema"
setTheme(["light","blueSchema"])

you may say use it like this:

setTheme("dark-blueSchema") // <html class="dark-blueSchema"
setTheme("light-blueSchema")

but components that using tailwindcss they only understant the 'dark' class to apply to and I want also another class for other css variables like when we have dark and blueSchema or dark and redSchema or light and redSchema

if I use dark-redSchema then component will not know it is dark mode as we have no dark class applied

Hey @alirezatayebinejad, the ThemeProvider provides the value property to allow mapping a theme value to be mapped to alternative values that are then applied to either the class attribute or a custom defined data attribute. In the mapping you can provide multiple values to be set, if you provide them in a string and separate multiple values with spaces.

The example below for example will achieve this:

CleanShot 2024-05-09 at 16 19 26@2x

With the above code, if you then run setTheme('dark-blue'), this will set data-theme="dark blue".

This might work for your case.

@pacocoursey I noticed we don't prohibit setting the theme to a string value that contains a space. This breaks the code when using attribute="class".
Should we allow this?
If we should, we would have to explicitly handle setting and unsetting multiple class values.

thanks for your answer.
I tried the solution you provided but when I use data-theme="whatever" to set a list of css variables like :root[data-theme="whatever"] this will work but when refreshing the app it has a delay applying css variables to the elements
other than that I also suggest that if you can update the library to handle this situation with attribute="class" it would be a better option. thanks.

unfortunatly my repo is private for a client but I am using NextJs 14 with app router, Typescript and tailwindcss with next-ui components.
