This plugin serves as a practical reference for developers learning to build BrainDrive plugins with dynamic theme adaptation.

✨ Features

🎨 Interactive Theme Management

• Theme Display Module: Show current theme information and service status with real-time updates
• Theme Controller Module: Interactive theme switching with toggle and button controls
• Theme Listener Module: Monitor theme changes with comprehensive event logging

📚 Educational Components

• Comprehensive Documentation: 600+ line developer guide with real-world examples
• Educational Logging: Detailed console output explaining each step of theme operations
• Error Handling Patterns: Robust error handling with user-friendly feedback
• Type Safety: Full TypeScript implementation with proper interfaces

🛠 Technical Excellence

• Module Federation: Optimized webpack configuration for efficient loading
• Class-Based Components: React components designed for Module Federation compatibility
• Service Bridge Pattern: Proper abstraction over BrainDrive's Theme Service
• Production Ready: Minified bundles and optimized performance

🏗 Architecture

Three Interactive Modules

1. Theme Display (theme-display)

   • Display current theme information (light/dark)
   • Show Theme Service connection status
   • Real-time theme property inspection
   • Service availability monitoring with visual indicators

2. Theme Controller (theme-controller)

   • Interactive theme switching controls
   • Quick toggle between light and dark themes
   • Individual theme selection buttons
   • Change tracking and operation feedback

3. Theme Listener (theme-listener)

   • Real-time theme change event monitoring
   • Theme change history with timestamps
   • Event statistics and activity metrics
   • Listener control management (start/stop/clear)

Theme Service Wrapper

The plugin includes a sophisticated Theme Service wrapper (themeService.ts) that provides:

• Type-safe theme operations with proper TypeScript interfaces
• Comprehensive error handling with custom error types and validation
• Educational logging for debugging and learning
• Service availability checking and graceful degradation
• Theme change listener management with proper cleanup
