Installation

1: Install the library in your React + Tailwind Project.

  npm install reactdarkmodecomponent

2: Go to Tailwind.config.js and add property darkMode: 'class' in the object exported (module.exports).

  const plugin = require('tailwindcss/plugin')
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: ["./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",],
  darkMode: 'class',
  theme: {
    extend: {textShadow: {
      sm: '0 1px 2px var(--tw-shadow-color)',
      DEFAULT: '0 2px 4px var(--tw-shadow-color)',
      lg: '0 8px 16px var(--tw-shadow-color)',
    },},
  },
  plugins: [
    plugin(function ({ matchUtilities, theme }) {
      matchUtilities(
        {
          'text-shadow': (value) => ({
            textShadow: value,
          }),
        },
        { values: theme('textShadow') }
      )
    }),
  ]
}

3: Now in your tailwind classes add dark: and type your required styling for dark mode, these will be applied automatically if you are already in default dark mode, you can check the switch toggle component on UI from this library, if you turn off the dark mode, classes of dark: will no longer be applicable. Example:

  <div data-testid="DarkModePlugin_Container" className="flex flex-row w-fit h-fit gap-1 p-[0.4rem] items-center rounded-full border-2 shadow-md shadow-gray-500 border-indigo-400 dark:bg-slate-700 dark:shadow-gray-700 dark:border-indigo-700 bg-slate-200">

4: Import and use it in your navbar to be used with the whole project, without props for default styling coming from component itself:

  import DarkModePlugin from 'reactdarkmodecomponent';

  <DarkModePlugin/>

5: Use with props for custom styling using tailwindcss:

  <DarkModePlugin
   containerClassName='bg-blue-500'
   sunClassName='text-[1rem] text-yellow-200'
   moonClassName='text-[1rem] text-purple-300'
  />
