🎥 Demo

📝 Notes

• The hook is only available in the browser environment. So if you use NextJS App router or any other framework that uses Server Components, you should use this hook in a Client Component by adding the directive use client
• Currently works only if the project is using TailwindCSS
• Ensure your project has the necessary TailwindCSS configuration for dark mode

🚀 Features

• Toggles dark mode with an animation effect.
• Smooth animations for theme switching.
• Uses React Hooks for state management.
• Supports TypeScript for enhanced development experience.
• Uses localStorage to persist the dark mode state across sessions.
• Provides a React ref that can be attached to any component to trigger the mode change.

📦 Installation

Install the package using npm or YARN:

npm install react-theme-switch-animation

import { useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation()

  return (
    <button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
      Toggle Dark Mode (Currently {isDarkMode ? 'Dark' : 'Light'} Mode)
    </button>
  )
}

Animation Types

The hook supports two types of animations:

import React from 'react'
import { ThemeAnimationType, useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation({
    animationType: ThemeAnimationType.BLUR_CIRCLE,
    blurAmount: 4, // Optional: adjust blur intensity
    duration: 1000, // Optional: adjust animation duration
  })

  return (
    <button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
      Toggle Dark Mode (Currently {isDarkMode ? 'Dark' : 'Light'} Mode)
    </button>
  )
}

export default MyComponent

Returns an object containing:

• ref: React ref for attaching to the component that will trigger the dark mode toggle.
• toggleSwitchTheme: Function to toggle dark mode.
• isDarkMode: Current state of dark mode (true for dark, false for light).
