Reactive color mode in React using hooks
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import useLocalStorage from './use-local-storage.hooks';
const useColorMode = () => {
const [colorMode, setColorMode] = useLocalStorage('color-theme', 'light');
useEffect(() => {
const className = 'dark';
const bodyClass = window.document.body.classList;
colorMode === 'dark'
? bodyClass.add(className)
: bodyClass.remove(className);
}, [colorMode]);
return [colorMode, setColorMode];
};
export default useColorMode;
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
type SetValue<T> = T | ((val: T) => T);
function useLocalStorage<T>(
key: string,
initialValue: T
): [T, (value: SetValue<T>) => void] {
// State to store our value
// Pass initial state function to useState so logic is only executed once
const [storedValue, setStoredValue] = useState(() => {
try {
// Get from local storage by key
const item = window.localStorage.getItem(key);
// Parse stored json or if none return initialValue
return item ? JSON.parse(item) : initialValue;
} catch (error) {
// If error also return initialValue
console.log(error);
return initialValue;
}
});
// useEffect to update local storage when the state changes
useEffect(() => {
try {
// Allow value to be a function so we have same API as useState
const valueToStore =
typeof storedValue === 'function'
? storedValue(storedValue)
: storedValue;
// Save state
window.localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(valueToStore));
} catch (error) {
// A more advanced implementation would handle the error case
console.log(error);
}
}, [key, storedValue]);
return [storedValue, setStoredValue];
}
export default useLocalStorage;

Usage:

const [colorMode, setColorMode] = useColorMode();

....
if (typeof setColorMode === 'function') {
              setColorMode(colorMode === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light');
            }
...
    colorMode === 'dark' ? 'bg-primary' : 'bg-stroke'
