🔧 Technical Details

Theme Loading Mechanism

// Redux action triggers theme change
const loadBootswatchTheme = (theme: BootswatchTheme) => {
if (typeof document !== "undefined") {
// Remove existing Bootswatch CSS
const existingLink = document.getElementById("bootswatch-theme");
if (existingLink) existingLink.remove();

// Load new theme from CDN (if not default Aurora)
if (theme !== "default") {
const link = document.createElement("link");
link.id = "bootswatch-theme";
link.href = `https://bootswatch.com/5/${theme}/bootstrap.min.css`;
document.head.appendChild(link);
}
}
};

Persistence Pattern

// User selects theme
const handleBootswatchChange = async (theme: BootswatchTheme) => {
// Update Redux state
dispatch(setBootswatchTheme(theme));

// Persist to localStorage via service
await userPreferenceService.setBootswatchTheme(theme);

// CSS auto-loads from Redux thunk
dispatch(loadBootswatchTheme(theme));
};

Singleton Service Export

// At end of UserPreferenceService.ts
export const userPreferenceService = UserPreferenceService.getInstance();

// Usage in ThemeToggle
import { userPreferenceService } from "../../services/UserPreferenceService";
await userPreferenceService.setBootswatchTheme(selectedTheme);

✅ Error Fixes Applied

TypeScript Compilation Errors (RESOLVED)

  1. UserPreferenceService.ts - Missing braces in if statements

    • Line 209: if (json.layoutMode) { return json.layoutMode; }
    • Line 212: if (typeof backendPref.preference === "string") { return backendPref.preference; }
    • Line 224: if (!pref) { return { grids: {} }; }
    • Line 228: if (!parsed.grids) { parsed.grids = {}; }
    • Line 300: if (result.data) { this.preferences.set(...); }
  2. DigitalProductUploader.tsx - Missing braces (fixed during migration)

  3. ThemeToggle.tsx - Line 76 singleton export issue (RESOLVED)

    • Cause: UserPreferenceService instance not exported
    • Solution: Added export const userPreferenceService = UserPreferenceService.getInstance();

if (savedTheme) {
dispatch(setBootswatchTheme(savedTheme));
dispatch(loadBootswatchTheme(savedTheme));
}
