Getting Started
This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.
Prerequisites
Install the package as a dependency
npm install next-theme
or with yarn
yarn add next-theme
Usage
We need to wrap the component tree with our component and so it's recommend we do this in the _app file. If you haven't already got one, create a custom _app and wrap the Component with our ThemeProvider.
// Example pages/_app.js
import { ThemeProvider } from "next-theme";
function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return (
<ThemeProvider>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</ThemeProvider>
);
}
export default MyApp;
Then we you can use our hook useTheme() to access and change the current theme
// Example hook usage
import { ThemeProvider } from "next-theme";
import useTheme from "next-theme";
function ThemeButtons() {
const {setTheme, toggle, theme} = useTheme();
return (
<h1>Current theme: {theme}</h1>
<button type="button" onClick={toggle}>
Toggle theme
</button>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setTheme("light")}>
Light theme
</button>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setTheme("dark")}>
Dark theme
</button>
);
}
