feat(teams-theme): clearing duplicate colors from siteVariables #858

mnajdova · 2019-02-07T11:28:05Z

Description of the problem

In Teams theme we are exporting colors in different ways

through the colors object (containing the natural, emphasis, primitive colors)
directly through siteVariables (we have fields there like orange04, grey02 etc)

This produces big confusion when using the colors. As an example, we have the black color both as siteVariables.black, as well as siteVariables.colors.black. These values can be the same or different (the user doesn't know right away, until they check the values directly in the theme). Moreover, when we look into it, the black color is actually in exported as the siteVariables.colors.grey[900] variant. Why we have black color, if it is the same as some grey variant (it's not even black).

In addition if we look into the values of the colors siteVariables.brand and siteVariables.brand06, they are referencing the same color - siteVariables.colors.primary[500] (why we need two different aliases for the same color?). We also have some colors defined in the siteVariables which are not used at all in the styles and variables (not sure whether they are used on client side)

The aim of this PR is to start reducing the colors defined directly in the siteVariables, as long as we have alias color in the colors object. From here then, we can have clear picture of which colors defined in the siteVariables, do not have mapping in the color palette, and we can iterate on that. Then, we can start creating color palettes for the other themes (dark and high contracts).

Goal

We should aim for clearing all colors directly defined in the siteVariables, and referencing them with something from the colors object.

BREAKING CHANGES (Teams theme)

Some of the colors from siteVariables were removed. Find the mappings below:

brand16 <=> colors.primary[50]
brand14 <=> colors.primary[100]
brand12 <=> colors.primary[200]
brand <=> colors.primary[500]
brand06 <=> colors.primary[500]
brand02 <=> colors.primary[900]

green <=> naturalColors.lightGreen[900]
green04 <=> colors.green[900]

black <=> colors.grey[900]
white <=> colors.grey[50]

red <=> colors.red[900]

yellow <=> colors.yellow[900]

orange04 <=> naturalColors.darkOrange[400]

In addition, the value of the siteVariable.colors.black was changed from siteVariables.colors.grey[900] (#252424) to #000. If the intention of the user was to have the dark grey, then please replace the usage with siteVariables.colors.grey[900].

is there a plan to remove the brand* names from other themes?
that would help A LOT with the color prop story since we won't need any code changes in the styles of the components for other themes (you probably remember the Menu mayhem)

Yep, I remember the problems we had there. In my opinion, ideally we will have colors.primary[500] as a color used for the same thing in all themes, but the themes would change what primary[500] means in that context (it might be lighter in dark theme for example...) Not certain 100% for this yet, we have to have the whole picture first..

This one is actually great example that, in dark theme, colors.primary[500] is used for brand12, although in the light theme it is used as brand. We should rearrange the colors primary in dark theme to match these values accordingly by specifying the correct hex values (I guess the values will be lighter then they are in the light theme)

It feels like gray* and brand* there should extracted as part of color pallete

We have grey in the color palette, but the color are not matching these one, after the updates of the color palette, we may be able to reduce them. For the brand colors, currently I am mapping them to the primary, but we may change this to brand in the future.

Suggested change

hasMentionColor: siteVars.naturalColors.darkOrange[400],

hasMentionColor: siteVars.colors.darkOrange[400],

Actually I think this was producing TS errors, that's why I have the naturalColors. Let me check and will confirm

The problem is that the NaturalColorsStrict doesn't contain this color.

Actually, should be moved to chatMessageVariables

What do you mean? We have the white in the colors and not directly in the siteVariables

Sorry, updated comment, it's more clear

Got it, thanks!

Have a mixed feeling about it. If we are trying to rid of colors on siteVariables directly, should we keep these?
May be add an evil prefix to them? __unsafe__gray14? 😈

This step is just a clean up, so that we can have clear picture of what colors are missing in the color palette. Then the design team can safely update the color palette, following the steps introduced in this PR. I would not want to introduce breaking changes now for these colors, as most likely they are going to be removed soon.
