I have this script toggle dark mode specified in my css but can't figure out how to make the dark mode stay on between pages.
Thanks ahead!
html:
<img onclick="darkmode()" id="darktoggledesktop" src="media/darktoggle.svg" alt="">
<script>
function darkmode() {
var element = document.body;
element.classList.toggle("dark-mode");
}
</script>
<script>
function menufunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("mobilemenuopen");
if (x.style.display === "block") {
x.style.display = "none";
} else {
x.style.display = "block";
}
}
</script>
css:
.dark-mode {
background-color: black;
color: white;
transition: 0.4s;
}
I tried following similar threads here but can't seem to get this work.
As you mentioned you can do this using the localStorage. If you don't know how to use it you can read more about it here.
For this specific example, here's a working dark switch toggle script, which uses the localStorage to store a user's preference on page load.
<img onclick="toggleDarkMode()" id="darktoggledesktop" src="media/darktoggle.svg" alt="">
<script>
// Function to toggle dark mode and save preference in localStorage
function toggleDarkMode() {
let element = document.body;
element.classList.toggle("dark-mode");
if (element.classList.contains("dark-mode")) {
localStorage.setItem("darkMode", "enabled");
} else {
localStorage.setItem("darkMode", "disabled");
}
}
// Function to load dark mode preference on page load
function loadDarkModePreference() {
let darkMode = localStorage.getItem("darkMode");
if (darkMode === "enabled") {
document.body.classList.add("dark-mode");
}
}
// Load dark mode preference when the page loads
window.onload = loadDarkModePreference;
</script>
<script>
function menufunction() {
let x = document.getElementById("mobilemenuopen");
if (x.style.display === "block") {
x.style.display = "none";
} else {
x.style.display = "block";
}
}
</script>
