[sync] Export empty `theme.json` if Design Kit is in default state

[robinpalicka]

Summary

Material UI Sync plugin generates 3333 lines long theme.json file even if you generate it from default MUI Kit. As a developer, you are loosing ability to see what's overridden on first glance, if this generated theme.json file is used.

Ideally, plugin should generate empty theme.json, when Design Kit is in default and untouched state. Only if some variables or e.g. Button master component is changed, then it should generate overrides for modified definitions.

Examples

Plugin version: v0.1 BETA
Design Kit version: MUI for Figma v6.1.0 - Material UI
Generated file from untouched Design Kit: theme.json

Search keywords: default theme

Agreed. Why is the Sync Plugin not just generating a diff from the default theme object..?

We have a default set of values that we need to update each time we do a new release of the figma kit: https://github.com/mui/mui-private/tree/master/packages/material-ui-sync-figma/src/defaults. We didn't, hence the plugin is unusable right now.
