`themvora export`

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Theme JSON file(s) to export
• Project with @themvora/cli installed or npx access

Export theme tokens to CSS variables or a flat JSON map for another system. Every token becomes a --theme-* custom property, so the exported CSS needs no runtime and no framework — Tailwind, shadcn/ui, daisyUI, and hand-written CSS can all consume the variables.

Synopsis — Export a theme to CSS or JSON

Usage:
  themvora export <file> [options]

Examples

themvora export theme.json --format css
themvora export theme.json --format json --output tokens.json

Generated from packages/cli/src/command-schema.json — the same contract themvora --help renders.

CSS variables

A single theme:

themvora export theme.json --format css --output theme.css

:root {
  --theme-color-background: #f8fafc;
  --theme-color-primary: #6366f1;
}

A light + dark pair exports both blocks:

:root {
  /* light */
}

.dark, [data-theme="dark"] {
  /* dark */
}

@import "./theme.css"; /* :root plus the .dark block */

JSON

themvora export theme.json --format json

Emits the flat --theme-* key/value map as JSON — useful for editors, scripts, or configuration systems that consume token maps.

Default output

Omit --output to print the CSS (or JSON) to stdout.
