darkmode toggle switch with local storage to remember the last selection
Here is a darkmode toggle switch, that swaps out the body class so you can target dark-mode or light-mode on all your elements!
It saves to local storage the last selection so if you come back to the site later it will remember your previous selection.
I modified this from another version of the code i found, but not sure where i originally found it, so if its yours let me know and ill link you as the source!
the demo button below does not work exactly as it has the same id as the one at the top of the site, but it still runs the dark mode and light mode function.
HTML
<a href="javascript:void()" class="btn btn-outline-info btn-lg ml-auto font-weight-bold" id="theme-toggler" onclick="toggleTheme()">🌙 Dark</a>
Javascript
// you can use app's unique identifier here
const LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY = "custom-grid-theme";
const LOCAL_META_DATA = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY));
// you can change this url as needed
const DARK_THEME_PATH = "https://bootswatch.com/4/cyborg/bootstrap.min.css";
/* const DARK_THEME_PATH = "https://kruxor.com/css/bootstrap.slate.min.css"; */
const DARK_STYLE_LINK = document.getElementById("dark-theme-style");
const THEME_TOGGLER = document.getElementById("theme-toggler");
let isDark = LOCAL_META_DATA && LOCAL_META_DATA.isDark;
// check if user has already selected dark theme earlier
if (isDark) {
enableDarkTheme();
} else {
disableDarkTheme();
}
/**
* Apart from toggling themes, this will also store user's theme preference in local storage.
* So when user visits next time, we can load the same theme.
*
*/
function toggleTheme() {
isDark = !isDark;
if (isDark) {
enableDarkTheme();
} else {
disableDarkTheme();
}
const META = { isDark };
localStorage.setItem(LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY, JSON.stringify(META));
}
function enableDarkTheme() {
var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.classList.add('dark-mode');
body.classList.remove('light-mode');
THEME_TOGGLER.innerHTML = "🌙 Dark";
}
function disableDarkTheme() {
var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.classList.add('light-mode');
body.classList.remove('dark-mode');
THEME_TOGGLER.innerHTML = "🌞 Light";
}
