Usage

ThemeSwitcher

If you want to enable any element to be the toggler, use ThemeSwitcher.

Its constructor has three parameters:

• toggler: HTMLElement
  • Element that alternates the theme every time the user clicks on it
• callbackFunction?: (isDark: boolean) => void
  • Optional function that runs every time the theme is changed. The parameter isDark is a boolean that indicates if the current theme is dark
• options?: SwitcherOptions
  • Optional object with parameters for styling the animation

Simple usage

// Target element
const toggler = document.getElementById('button');
// Switcher
new ThemeSwitcher(toggler).init();

Advanced usage

const toggler = document.getElementById('toggler');
const options = { transition: 200 }; // default is 150
    
const themeSwitcher = new ThemeSwitcher(toggler, isDark => {
  isDark ?
    toggler.setAttribute('src', '/path/to/sun-icon.png') :
    toggler.setAttribute('src', '/path/to/moon-icon.png');
}, options);
    
themeSwitcher.init();

ThemeSwitcherGenerator

It automatically creates a draggable button to switch the theme.

Its constructor has an unique parameter:

• options?: GeneratorInitOptions
  • Object with options to customize the button

Basic usage

new ThemeSwitcherGenerator().init();
