Installation

npm install @jaiminmoslake7020/react-dark-light-theme-switcher

How to use it

Use it with the provider, which will apply either theme="dark" or theme="light" to the applyTo selector. In the example below, a button will appear, allowing the user to change the theme, which will be applied to the body. preferColorScheme when true retrieves the color scheme from the system. And false then saves it to localStorage.

<ThemeSwitchProvider applyTo={"body"} preferColorScheme={false}>
  ...
  <ThemeSwitcherBtnProviderChild/>
</ThemeSwitchProvider>

or just use button and apply it by yourself.

<ThemeSwitcherBtn theme={theme}
                  setTheme={setTheme}
                  themeSwitcherContainerClassName={themeSwitcherContainerClassName}
                  iconWrapperClassName={iconWrapperClassName}
                  sunIconWrapperClassName={sunIconWrapperClassName}
                  moonIconWrapperClassName={moonIconWrapperClassName}/>

or hook with ThemeSwitcherBtn component,

const applyTo = 'body';
const preferColorScheme = true; // boolean
const {theme, setTheme} = useThemeSwitch(applyTo, preferColorScheme);
