mage add theme
Create a child theme of a given parent theme.
mage add theme
mage add theme Vendor/MyTheme --parent=Hyva/default
mage add theme Vendor/Admin --admin| Option | Does |
|---|---|
Vendor/Name |
The vendor and name of the theme |
--parent=THEME |
The parent theme |
--admin |
Create an admin theme instead of a frontend theme |
Anything not given is asked.
The name can be answered as Vendor/Name at once, or the vendor is asked separately.
The parent defaults to Hyva/default when Hyvä is installed, otherwise Magento/luma, or Magento/backend for an admin theme.
Where it is created
It asks whether to create the theme in package-source as a composer package:
- No:
app/design/<area>/Vendor/my-theme. - Yes:
package-source/vendor/magento2-theme-my-theme, which is required as@devright away.
The theme path uses the name in kebab case, so Vendor/MyTheme becomes Vendor/my-theme.
An existing folder is never overwritten.
Files
From the template theme: theme.xml, registration.php, composer.json (named vendor/magento2-theme-my-theme), README.md, CHANGELOG.md, SECURITY.md (with security@example.com to replace), .editorconfig and .gitignore.
A child theme of a Hyvä theme also gets a copy of the web/tailwind folder of the Hyvä default theme, without node_modules, to build its own styles.
Run mage setup:upgrade afterwards to register the theme.
