Dynamic Styling Systems with React
summary
A website‑maker prototype uses React and Next.js with a custom CSS‑in‑JS theming layer that merges per‑component Theme Provider keys with per‑page style constants so page-level choices (rounded vs flat, shadows) can be overridden by component themes; implementation exposes a curried style provider function used inside styled APIs, supports callbacks for palette logic, and is adoptable by non‑React UI engineers. Alternatives explored: global CSS variables and Emotion/style‑system integrations; Redux holds component state and Context shares theme.
