This should be a package #4

TLDR; Ideally the developer should be able to provide one theme file/folder and be able to generate themes without having to go through too many steps as listed here

It would be much better if this is an npm package that exposes a getThemeDefinitions() method. It would also be nice to have helper methods such as injectToTemplate() documented

This way, it is easier to update the main theme and the amount of boilerplate needed to create a new theme reduces drastically

Currently the full repository layout of creating themes has an advantage of creating a boilerplate folder structure for adding non-standard assets such as sticker overrides.

Maybe a createBoilerplateDirectory() would suit that purpose.

An interace I am hoping for is something like

import { getThemes, renderTemplate } from "dokitheme";

const t = fs.readFileSync("template.json");

for (const theme of getThemes()) {
  fs.writeFileSync("out/" + theme.dir + "/" + theme.filename + ".json", renderTemplate(t, theme.variables);
}
