Install

npm install -D antd-theme-webpack-plugin

const AntDesignThemePlugin = require('antd-theme-webpack-plugin');

const options = {
  antDir: path.join(__dirname, './node_modules/antd'),
  stylesDir: path.join(__dirname, './src'),
  varFile: path.join(__dirname, './src/styles/variables.less'),
  themeVariables: ['@primary-color'],
  indexFileName: 'index.html',
  generateOnce: false,
  lessUrl: "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/2.7.2/less.min.js",
  publicPath: "",
  customColorRegexArray: [], // An array of regex codes to match your custom color variable values so that code can identify that it's a valid color. Make sure your regex does not adds false positives.
}

const themePlugin = new AntDesignThemePlugin(options);
// in config object
plugins: [
    themePlugin
  ]

Add this plugin in plugins array.

Property	Type	Default	Descript
antDir	string	-	This is path to antd directory in your node_modules
stylesDir	string	-	This is path to your custom styles root directory, all files with .less extension in this folder and nested folders will be processed
varFile	string	-	Path to your theme related variables file
themeVariables	array	['@primary-color']	List of variables that you want to dynamically change
indexFileName	string	index.html	File name of your main html file, in most cases it is `index.html` which is default
lessUrl	string	https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/2.7.2/less.min.js	less.js cdn or file path
publicPath	string	''	This string will be prepended to `/color.less` in `index.html` file in case
generateOnce	boolean	false	Everytime webpack will build new code due to some code changes in development, this plugin will run again unless you specify this flag as `true` which will just compile your styles once
customColorRegexArray	array	['color', 'lighten', 'darken', 'saturate', 'desaturate', 'fadein', 'fadeout', 'fade', 'spin', 'mix', 'hsv', 'tint', 'shade', 'greyscale', 'multiply', 'contrast', 'screen', 'overlay'].map(name => new RegExp(`${name}$.*$`))]	This array is to provide regex which will match your color value, most of the time you don't need this


If you `index.html` file is not being generated by build process then add following code in your `index.html` or whatever is the name of html main file and add `indexFileName: false` in options/config. This way you can better place your below script in your html file according to your needs.

Enable Javascript for less-loader

You need to enable javascript for less-loader.

{
  javascriptEnabled: true
}

For those who are using react-app-rewire-less with react-app-rewired, enable javascript like this

module.exports = function override(config, env) {
  config = injectBabelPlugin(['import', { libraryName: 'antd', style: true }], config);
  config = rewireLess.withLoaderOptions({
    modifyVars: {
      '@primary-color': '#002251'
    },
    javascriptEnabled: true
  })(config, env);
  config.plugins.push(new AntDesignThemePlugin(options));
  return config;
};
