🌓 Add darkmode / nightmode to your website in a few seconds
npm install darkmode-js🌓 Add a Dark Mode / Night Mode to your website in a few seconds
This library uses the CSS mix-blend-mode to bring Dark Mode to any of your websites.
Just copy-paste the snippet and you will get a widget to turn on and off the Dark Mode. You can also use it without the widget programmatically. The plugin is lightweight, built-in Vanilla.
It also uses local storage by default, so your last setting will be remembered!
I have been inspired by this article: https://dev.wgao19.cc/2019-05-04__sun-moon-blending-mode/

`$3
sh
npm install darkmode-js
`Then add the following JavaScript code:
javascript
import Darkmode from 'darkmode-js';new Darkmode().showWidget();
`⚙️ Options
Here are the option availables:
javascript
const options = {
bottom: '64px', // default: '32px'
right: 'unset', // default: '32px'
left: '32px', // default: 'unset'
time: '0.5s', // default: '0.3s'
mixColor: '#fff', // default: '#fff'
backgroundColor: '#fff', // default: '#fff'
buttonColorDark: '#100f2c', // default: '#100f2c'
buttonColorLight: '#fff', // default: '#fff'
saveInCookies: false, // default: true,
label: '🌓', // default: ''
autoMatchOsTheme: true // default: true
}const darkmode = new Darkmode(options);
darkmode.showWidget();
`▶️ Methods
If you don't want to show the widget and enable/disable Darkmode programatically you can use the method . You can also check if the Dark Mode is activated with the method isActivated(). See them in action in the following example:
`javascript
const darkmode = new Darkmode();
darkmode.toggle();
console.log(darkmode.isActivated()) // will return true
`Override style
* A CSS class is added to the body tag when the darkmode is activated. You can take advantage of it to override the style and have a custom style
* Use the class darkmode-ignore where you don't want to apply darkmode
* You can also add this style: isolation: isolate; in your CSS, this will also ignore the darkmode.
* It is also possible to revert the Dark Mode with this style mix-blend-mode: difference;$3
css
.darkmode--activated p, .darkmode--activated li {
color: #000;
}.button {
isolation: isolate;
}
.darkmode--activated .logo {
mix-blend-mode: difference;
}
`
html

`Debug
If it does not work you may have to add the following code, but this will invalidate the classes to override.
css
.darkmode-layer, .darkmode-toggle {
z-index: 500;
}
`Browser compatibility
This library uses the CSS to provide the Dark Mode.
It may not be compatible with all the browsers. Therefore the widget has been hidden in Internet Explorer and Edge.
This library also uses prefers-color-scheme: dark to automatically enable the Dark Mode if the OS prefered theme is dark.Check the compatibility here:

- https://caniuse.com/#search=prefers-color-scheme (to activate Dark Mode automatically)
Development
* yarn build or npm run build - produces a production version of your library under the lib folder
* yarn dev or npm run dev - produces development version of your library and runs a watcher
* yarn test or npm run test - it runs the tests :)
* yarn test:watch or npm run test:watch` - same as above but in a watch mode
